That's my original question. Why go to the trouble of making Ghee when

butter is neutral. If Ghee is so much better then why isn't it beneficial for

Os?

I understand why As make Ghee but not why Os do it. The milk solids

apparently don't affect the butter enough to make it an avoid for Os. To me,

butter

tastes so much better than Ghee. Not being argumentative just mildly baffled.

Ditto for me, the butterbell keeps butter quite a long time, so long as I

change the water occasionally. Here is a picture of what it is:

The butter bell is kept out on the counter and it is pliable and soft enough

to spread. The water helps form a seal so that it is more airtight and keeps

it longer than if you use a regular butter dish or a regular plate.

Even though both are neutral, ghee is included in one of the

protocols, I think for colon health. That tells me that D'Adamo

considers it a better neutral. There also may be more to the

preservation angle than just icing on the cake. It's true that

butter fat is probably better for most people than trans fat, but

once the butter fat goes rancid it may be as bad or worse. I don't

think it's a coincidence that olive oil is so healthful. It also

happens to be the most stable at room temperature. If you have a

good nose for rancid oil, and I don't, this might not be a concern

for you, just throw out any butter or whatever that goes rancid.---
