Guest guest Posted March 4, 2001 Report Share Posted March 4, 2001 Dana, I don't know how butter oil is made. I would imagine there are different methods, from making a ghee like compound which involves much boiling, to centrifuging, which would involve minimal heat. Several months ago you could have called the gentleman in Florida who was selling a good variety to ask but I believe he is not selling it now. I don't know of any other sources right now. Most of us are just trying to find the best grass-fed butter we can. The same holds for cod oil. Most brands you can buy in this country, especially the health food store varieties, are "animal feed" grade, which for all practical purposes means that Norwegians wouldn't touch it with a ten foot spoon. They would, however sell it to us 'ignorant Americans.' I am not an expert in the various methods to create cod liver oil, but I do know that it is important to get the premium grade (the richest, most nutrient-dense, literally bottom of the barrel) cod liver oil - the grade that the Norwegians themselves take. We have found such a grade after lots of research, and carry it in our catalog. (Check it out at www.4radiantlife.com.) It is not processed using heat, it is not filtered or messed with in any way. Only a six week supply is bottled at one time to ensure freshness, and th! e oil is packaged in dark bottles with nitrogen gas to keep out light and oxygen. No chemicals are used in the process either. Sally Fallon has been recommending our cod liver oil since we sent her info on it last year. Hope this helps, Does anyone know how butter oil is made (is heat used) and also, where can I get it? Has anyone on this list tried the butter oil/cod liver oil combo that fallon discusses in Nourishing Traditions? I'd like to start. Final question, and I assume will be able to answer this one - is heat used in the process of extracting the cod liver oil from the cod? Any chemicals used?

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2001 Report Share Posted March 5, 2001 Alan, The brand of the cod liver oil is "Premier." Unfortunately it is not widely available in health food stores - usually doctors or other health care practitioners are the ones who recommend and carry it.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2001 Report Share Posted October 5, 2001 We're doing the cod liver oil. We try to take it each day but sometimes it gets forgotten. The kids have finally decided they can take capsules instead of the liquid so it will be sitting on the table as a daily reminder. We take it with whichever meal we're having something buttery like whipped cream or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 5, 2001 Report Share Posted October 5, 2001 We take a teaspoon of butter oil each every morning along with our cod liver oil. Once our porridge or eggs are cooled enough not to burn the mouth, I add the butter (solid, since I keep it in the fridge) to each person's portion and stir it in. For us, the butter oil is far too expensive to cook with (it's like gold! and worth every penny), and since cooking destroys the Wulzen factor, we use Organic Valley Cultured Unsalted Butter for cooking and general eating. We got our butter oil from the Wetzels in Nebraska--we found them through a post to this list. We have been thrilled with their product and their friendly customer service. They have two types of butter oil available seasonally: one is the high CLA butter from their all grass-fed cows, and one is the X-factor butter (Wetzels, if you read this, I hope I got it right!) I ordered enough to get our family of six through the winter. They shipped it promptly and carefully, insuring each box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 6, 2001 Report Share Posted October 6, 2001 Butter oil was centrifuged, high vitamin butter. If you are using good yellow butter every day, and taking your cod liver oil, this is fine. Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sally As to the above..Should I be giving my 6 month old some type of butter with his cod liver oil? right now I just add the cod liver oil to his egg yolk and he loves it. But I was wondering if he needs the fat to help absorb the vitamins? The only other thing he eats besides his milk is blended veggies and a few fruits and I don't usually add butter to these as he just started eating foods and I have been using store bought to see what he likes. Thanks for the suggestions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 9, 2001 Report Share Posted October 9, 2001 Dear , You can mash in butter with the vegetables. Use fresh vegetables that you cook and mash, not canned. Sally PS Mashed fresh banana is also great for babies. Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 Thanks Sally, I've tried the banana's but he won't eat them. He will only eat squash, green beans, peas, and peaches. But thankfully he loves the egg and cod liver concoction! I will try to add some butter to his veggies as well. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 Yes, it's funny but some babies hate bananas. My children loved them. Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
