MoreThis is a reply to # 908,113I personally feel in small amounts, it is healthy to have some saturated fats like butter in our diet. I dont butter everything though, I basically only use it for cooking and not very often. Margarine is probably the worst thing in existence.

MoreThis is a reply to # 908,113I think butter is great.
I really only use butter, E.V. olive oil and occasionally coconut oil, as far as oils go.
Butter contains vitamins A & D, some Iodine and glycospingolipids (good fatty acids).
It balances my blood Sugar levels out better than almost anything. I don't know why this is.
Also, butter is relatively hypoallergenic - a very different story to milk.
I bought some rather expensive butter recently and the flavour is far superior to the cheap stuff.
You should try it.
Margarine is not a food and should be avoided. It is full of rancid oils, nickel oxide, bleach, dyes, trans fatty acids, preservatives and artificial flavours designed to simulate the natural flavour of butter.
The Weston Price site is very much in favour of butter.

This is a reply to # 908,113Yes, butter is very good for you. Not only does it contain vitamin A and D, but fats like butter also help pull nutrients out of foods, as well as providing their own benefits. When you consider how much of the body/brain is made up of fat and how much proper fat is required to aid functions in the body and aid healing and encourage bile flow.

This is a reply to # 908,113Okay,
Fats are needed by the body, good fats, non processed fats do not raise cholesterol. (Other than HDL, while lowering LDL)
In fact, the majority of people who have elevated cholesterol can lower it by the intake of good fats.
The body needs fats.
According to Dr Mercola:
Raw and cultured butter is best and is good for you.
Raw butter is good for you.
As for Margarine I would say, like any processed and manufactured food, it has no redeeming qualities.

As I understand it, butterfat is so highly prized by the dairy industry (because it sells for a higher price), that it backs up in the marketing system and storage space must be found for it. (It was reported in the news that they even use caves.)
Then, when they are ready to use some of the storage butter, they combine it with fresh; salt it to mask any rancid flavor; and send it to market.
If you know differently, please tell.
Also, the salt they use is not likely to be whole Sea Salt .
Long ago, I read that sometimes people butter their food to get the taste of salt.
I don't know how true this is.
I do know that butterfat is BIG business. The biggest business that industry has got. (Cheese is cultured butterfat, etc.)

I eat quite a bit of butter, and have all my life, with 35 years off for margarine. Gloom.
Sometimes we have even bought sweet (unsalted) butter...which is likely more expensive because it hasn't been 'cut' with storage butter.

This is a reply to # 908,113Hi Ryger!
I have the same question also- and am going to read everyone's responses to you on this.
For what it's worth-- I would not hesitate to occasionally use organic --hormone free butter, but balance it with more plant oils in proportion. It's more common for folks to hardly eat any plant oils, and mostly take in animal fats. But if you keep the animal fats lower on the eating list than the plant fats-- you should be okay.
Sometimes I use butter with some foods, but most of the times I will use unrefined cold-pressed olive oil, and make sure to get my flax seed oil and fish oil capsules-- and I eat alot of raw nuts and seeds in different recipes.
I think the ideal dairy we could eat is raw unpasturized--- preferrably from goats milk , since it doesn't encourage mucous like cow's milk does.
I just cut up some chunks of raw unpastuerized, unhomogenized cheddar cheese (from free range cows) in my garden salad-- along with some onions, avocado chunks, garbanzo beans, olive oil , apple cider and balsamic vinagar. OMG, was that tasty- and it ended up being my supper for tonight!

This is a reply to # 908,704hello!
wow it's been a while eh?
lol
I tried melting a tbsp of pure butter on my steaks and letting it desolve into the meat as I am letting it simmer in the pan and once it's cooked it's all nice and tender! I don't know why I have never tried it before but it's some of the tastiest steaks I have ever eat in a long time! I remember now that my mom used to do it that way but I just haven't remembered til now!

lol, I can see you frying steaks with that butter!
When I eat pizza once in a while, I' like to dip the crusts in melted garlic butter.
And when I eat lobster-tail, I just gotta have it dipped with melted butter!

This is a reply to # 910,111Steak does taste better with butter for sure. But I often add crushed garlic and/or sliced onions a few minutes before the end of the cooking time. Just enough to cook the garlic/onion but it soaks into the steak as well. Then just serve the steak and tip the rest of the garlic/onions from the pan over it. NOthing fancy but it tastes delicious. Butter, garlic and/or onions go very well with it :-D

I have taken ribeye steaks and fry them in butter. I gradually learned to put the stove on its lowest possible setting and cover the pan. Takes 2-3 hours but turns out brown and tender. No sense doing it if I am hungry when I start. Takes a while, but mighty tasty.
Corey- my technique! rygar.

This is a reply to # 910,1972-3 hours?! lol
wow..15 minutes is long for me!
I have finaly discovered how to cook the PERFECT steak (for me at least)
I will leave the stovetop on 8-HI and let it sit there until it begins to steam,no oil no butter just yet.Then I'll marinate the steak ,chop up the onions/garlic etc,butter.I'll add some olive oil to let it bubble up some then I'll add the steak,oh yes- I add a little bit of salt,pepper,soy sauce and I'll molest and massage the meat lol to really tenderize it and get all the flavor in it..sometimes I'll sing the blues to really make it tender!
I slap it in the pan and let it sizzle,cover it and let it sear each side for about a mintute each,then turn off the stovetop but leave the pan in place.I toss in the garnish (onions,garlic etc) and let it sit for about 5 minutes on each side,flipping once to make sure not to burn,for the last two minutes I'll add the butter (tbsp) and let it melt into the meat and garnish.
Afterwards,I'll fry up some onion rings or veggies!
yum!
yum!
nice and seared on the outside,while still a blush of red inside- not too raw or over cooked but nice and warm!

This is a reply to # 908,113It's something that you can definitely live without. I do think it's better than margarine. It's just so versatile. You can use it on so many things. It won't hurt you.
