Homogenized Butter

[Guest guest]

Dear Bee and All,

In the last few weeks, I posted a couple of posts on butter since I don't seem

to to do well on it, and the symptoms I get from eating butter don't feel like

" die-off " symptoms at all. I eat a whole lot of butter every day, more than a

cup. The other day, I ran out of the organic butter, and I went to an organic

co-op which carries non-homogenized butter. It's been 5 days now that I have

been eating only ghee and non-homogenized butter in big amounts, and I haven't

had any of the debilitating symptoms. It seems that my body reacts to

homogenization. I have done some research and discovered that homogenization

appears to be linked to arteriosclerosis. Could someone confirm or infirm? Many

thanks for reading me, and best wishes, Helene

+++Hi Helene,

It is not true homogenization can cause atherosclerosis. This has been

well-researched and documented by Enig, PhD, Weston A. Price Foundation,

and her final statement is:

" During homogenization there is a tremendous increase in surface area on the fat

globules. The original fat globule membrane is lost and a new one is formed that

incorporates a much greater portion of casein and whey proteins. " [Casein is

also protein.]

Here's the article " Milk Homogenization and Heart Disease "

http://www.realmilk.com/homogenization.html

Some people have more difficulty digesting proteins in dairy products, including

butter. Since the proteins are higher in homogenized butter, unhomogenized

butter and/or ghee (proteins have been removed) would help them.

However that would involve digestive issues but not other reactions or symptoms.

What debilitating symptoms were you getting when you had homogenized butter?

All the best, Bee
