Just reading Nourishing Traditions (still in the intro). Interesting facts on how healthy it is to eat butter.
Yes, butter is GOOD for you. it is anti-bacterial and choke full of vitamins. The type of saturated fats in it are easily digested, not easily stored as body fat and is the substance used to build arteries out of.
High cholesterol is caused not by eating cholesterol but by eating sugar and trans-fats (man made fats).
Not eating Natural cholesterol to lower your blood cholesterol count is like firing your police force in order to lower your crime rate. The body produces cholesterol in order to repair the damage done by sugars and man made fats. Get rid of your sugar and hydrogenated fats and your cholesterol will drop.
Later note added:
Nourishing Traditions is a very interesting book detailing the helath benifets of a traditional diet. Modern science has had a biased opinion not actually supported by studies for decades. Fat is not the culprit in heart disease. If it was, our rate of heart disease should have dropped as we lowered our fat, especially saturated fat, intake. Instead, it has gone up.
Traditional (God made) fats like butter, lard, coconut oil, beef fat are choke full of vitamins and minerals and other nutrients we need to be healthy. Man made fats are unnatural and the body doesn't even know what to do with them so it stores them. They then, in turn, cause the arteries to clog and- bingo!- heart attack.
