Guest guest Posted September 24, 2006 Report Posted September 24, 2006 Bee, I had to buy organic butter made by Horizon today. I'm on a strict budget and I couldn't afford the higher quality cultured butter by Organic Valley. What bothers me is that the butter is ultrapasturized and I've read that this is horrible (virtually no nutrients)...much worse than plain pastuerized. Would it be better while I'm on a budget to buy regular butter at the grocery store? Is the fat in the butter affected by ultrapastuerizing it? I'm worried about the hormones and antibiotics in regular butter..although if I haven't healed my body and my cells are not letting the appropriate materials in anyway, would it hurt for a short time to eat regular butter? Thanks for any advice you have. Chanon Quote

I buy unsalted cultured butter at the regular grocery store when my budget is low, and it is quite fine even though it is not certified organic. > > Is the fat in the butter affected by ultrapastuerizing it? The fat is affected by pasteurizing so ultrapasteurizing would affect it more (along with the minerals and vitamins contained in it) because it is heated to higher temperatures for a longer period of time. > > I'm worried about the hormones and antibiotics in regular butter..although if I haven't healed my body and my cells are not letting the appropriate materials in anyway, would it hurt for a short time to eat regular butter? Sometimes you have to make choices and having the butter is more important than getting a small amount of hormones and antibiotics. > Thanks for any advice you have.
