Butter is it Good For YOU?
Butter is Good for You!
Contrary to what many modern health
experts believe, butter is actually good for you, says Dr. William
Campbell Douglass II, editor of The Douglass Report, a newsletter
dedicated to debunking common medical myths.
Although butter has been blamed in recent
years for causing heart disease and cancer, Douglass says “common sense
should have told people these were ridiculous accusations.”
But over the years, people chose to bypass
butter for margarine with hopes of avoiding heart disease. Quite the
contrary, Douglass says, heart disease, osteoporosis, arthritis, and
other diseases have skyrocketed while butter sales plummeted.
Douglass cites a study by the Medical
Research Council that found that men who eat butter instead of margarine
actually cut their risk of heart disease in half. How so? Because
butter is actually full of nutrients that are good for the heart —
including vitamin A, a vital antioxidant, and lecithin, which helps the
body metabolize cholesterol and fats, Douglass explains in his
newsletter, www.DouglassReport.com.
When consumed, butter’s ingredients also act
as a “lubricant” for joints, and even fight against calcification,
which leads to painful arthritis.
Butter, especially organic versions from
grass-fed cows, delivers one other super nutrient: vitamin K2, Douglass
says. In addition to K2’s heart-protecting power, consuming higher
levels has been found to reduce the risk of prostate cancer by 35
percent.
“Here’s what you should do,” Douglass says. “This one should be obvious … eat more butter.”
