Re: Digest Number 4009

" I have found in these studies that, in the

control of dental caries, while the consumption of whole butter is an

aid in mineral metabolism, greater potency may be obtained by melting

a high vitamin butter and allowing it to crystallize for twenty-four

hours at a temperature of about 70 degrees. It is then centrifuged,

and, under the process, it separates into an oil that is liquid at

that temperature, with a solid crystalline layer below. This oil is

much higher in the activating factor than the whole butter. "

So, has anyone noticed that when you leave butter on the counter on a hot day,

you get a soft shape-retaining mass surrounded by a splooge of yellow oil?

I mean, you could complicate the process for kicks, but it seems as though

simply using a kombucha mat would do the same thing, while preserving the solids

for other uses...
