This would come as a surprise to many people around the globe who have valued butter for its life-sustaining properties for millennia. When Dr. Weston Price studied native diets in the 1930's he found that butter was a staple in the diets of many supremely healthy peoples.1 Isolated Swiss villagers placed a bowl of butter on their church altars, set a wick in it, and let it burn throughout the year as a sign of divinity in the butter. Arab groups also put a high value on butter, especially deep yellow-orange butter from livestock feeding on green grass in the spring and fall. American folk wisdom recognized that children raised on butter were robust and sturdy; but that children given skim milk during their growing years were pale and thin, with "pinched" faces.2

Does butter cause disease? On the contrary, butter protects us against many diseases.
Heart disease was rare in America at the turn of the century. Between 1920 and 1960, the incidence of heart disease rose precipitously to become America's number one killer. During the same period butter consumption plummeted from eighteen pounds per person per year to four. It doesn't take a Ph.D. in statistics to conclude that butter is not a cause. Actually butter contains many nutrients that protect us from heart disease. First among these is vitamin A which is needed for the health of the thyroid and adrenal glands, both of which play a role in maintaining the proper functioning of the heart and cardiovascular system. Abnormalities of the heart and larger blood vessels occur in babies born to vitamin A deficient mothers. Butter is America's best and most easily absorbed source of vitamin A.

Everything is fine in moderation. 

The Atkins diet relies on butter as a staple.  If you remove chicken skin, the diet reccommends you add butter to the vegetable.  It is also reccommended to use butter in the pan when frying or sauteing.  With the low carb intake, the body uses the consumed fats for energy first, then turns to its stored fats next.  The consumed fats literally jump start the metabolism of the stored fats (provided you still burn more calories than you consume).

grandpa Bacardi or great grandpa Bacardi was the first to figure out how to make Rum clear.
there's your rum factoid of the day....

[bogator]

 Read up on margarine ---its made out of plastic--

[gordorad]

+1 on the butter.  Have not used Margarine in over 10 years.   So many chemicals in anything processed. 

Eat natural - protein and green vegetables....and cut carbs.....You will feel great!

[MacDragon]

Been doing the "real butter" thing for years.  Don't trust margerine or "can't beleive it's not butter"...

Wednesday's Rum Factoid for the day... 

The bat on the Bacardi rum bottle is to honor the BAT guano used to fertilize the sugar cane used to produce the world's finest rum. 


In 1862 Bacardi purchased a factory building to start a distillery. In the roof lived a family of fruit bats. The official logo is a fruit bat in flight - one of the world's oldest registered trademarks...

Bacardi donates large amounts of money to bat-related research projects.

Bacardi also set up shop in what is now Cuba, they supported the revolution. that didn't cut them any slack with Castro, they still confiscated the facility, but they were allowed to move to Puerto Rico and restart the biz. that was a blessing in disquise they started shipping Bacardi rum worldwide in the global market boom that was the 60's
