Around 1960, my grandfather - 8th grade education, career carpenter - told me that someday scientists would discover that butter was a far more healthy food than margarine, and that milk and butter from the family cow were more healthy than from a commercial dairy. Grandpa, you were right! :)

There was a test done back in the 50's on margarine. They took a stick of "oleo" and put it on a saucer and left it in a kitchen on a table. It didn't grow mold on it. It didn't melt either. It was soft but that's it. And worst of all, flies wouldn't land on it. In fact, nothing landed on it. Later they found out that our bodies will not matibalize margarine. And since it won't matibalize it, it stores it as fat. Our parents and grandparents ate homemade grown, made from scratch food. They didn't use all these chemicals in their food like we do today to preserve our food. I think we need to go back to the old ways. Grow, raise our own food. We will last longer like our parents and grandparents. Yep your grandfather was right! My grandmother was a farmer and she raised or grew her own food. Even when she stopped farming and lived in the city. Thanks for sharing!

No fat, butter, red meat, even avocados were thrown under the bus. I kinda became a thorn in their education.

That is the reason old school advice was to never give a dog chicken bones because they might splinter and cause damage to the dog . I live near a super large chicken processing plant . I know people that work there . The baby chicks are so shot up with growth hormones that they mature in 6 weeks or so instead of months . Thats the reason their bones are so soft .

History has shown that capitalism and science are fundamentally incompatible in their goals. One must be made to serve the other, as they cannot be balanced in such a way as to serve the interests of both equally. Capitalism will create false science if that leads to higher profits. And scientific innovation can prevent large companies from having enough time to profit on one generation of inventions before replacing it with something else, or changing the paradigm entirely. For this reason, for every new tech start up seeking to develop and profit from a new technology, there are several old corporate giants buying up patents to ensure they aren't allowed to disturb their markets.

I remember one year when we had to throw out four dozen quart jars of canned peaches because the jar lids started to fail. Turns out the case of lids we'd bought had actually failed inspection and been sent out anyway. Company claimed it was an accident but compensated us for the bad lids--and the spoiled food. By the way, we had dairy goats we milked for butter and cheese and let me tell you, a number of things they say about goat milk are not true. First off, goat butter, unlike cow butter, is pure white which makes it hard to tell when you've finished churning it! Also, as long as you immediately strain and cool it, goat milk does not taste any different from cows milk. It is easier to digest. Man but I still wish I was home on the farm.

In a nutshell, processed foods and commercial farming is to blame.

I grew up in one of those "butter bad, margarine good" homes, and didn't change until 2 or 3 years ago when I started watching some videos on reading the ingredient list on the food we buy and eat.

At that point I stopped using margarine and went back to butter. 45 years later, I’m still enjoying my butter.

A random health fun fact I learned a couple years ago: There’s no such thing as “grass-fed.” There is no law regulating what that term means, which means it can mean whatever the company wants it to mean. Same goes for the word “natural” - but the word “organic” DOES have legal specifications which is why it winds up being so expensive, because farmers have to pay fees and deal with frequent government check-ups to constantly make sure they’re not lying about that one.

Hokay, dairy farmer here. Repeat after me, like they made us repeat in ag college- "corn is a forage with energy." Dairy cows are fed a forage based diet, with carbohydrate and protein supplementation because the nutritional value of grazing is so poor that even their incredibly efficient metabolisms can't make much out of it. When dairy cows eat corn, they're eating a fast growing grass that happens to include some grain carbs included with the sugars, cellulose, and hemicellulose their stomachs primarily digest. I work as a production consultant, and the average silage diet cow makes between 2x and 3x the milk of a grazing cow, because their nutritional needs are better met and they are able to reach their maximum potential productivity. Things like candy, stale bread, apple cores, nut hulls, cotton seeds, and the like are fed in small amounts because they are nutritionally dense supplements. The compositional difference is because fresh pasturage is undoubtedly better, but quality and availability is insanely vulnerable to weather conditions vs an ensiled forage which is preserved by anaerobic lactic acid fermentation and becomes stable and homogenous for year round consumption regardless of weather. Harvest at peak freshness, store away, eat all year. It's the difference between eating fresh whatever and canned- sure we'd all like to eat fresh veggies 365, and a tomato straight out of the garden is awesome, but having canned vegetables in midwinter is better than starving or scurvy. It also allows for a FAR more consistent diet, and cows do NOT like dietary fluctuations, to the tune of crashed production, lost revenue, and even illness. Cows are performance athletes, and like performance athletes, managing that diet is very important.

Instead there a jam in the circulatory system when cells start backing up. So butter fatter don't matter if it's made with homogenized milk, that's the problem.

I've been on a 2 rule diet for over 6 months now. Rule 1. No processed sugar. Rule 2. No processed carbs. I lost 35 pounds. I only eat whole real food now. In order of importance my diet consists of; meat, vegetables, fruit, and small amounts of unsweetened dairy like butter and cheese, occasionally I'll have a milk. The strangest aspect is the lack of hunger I experience eating this way. The main aspect is avoiding stuff that overly stimulates my insulin production. At first I just wanted to loose weight. But then something strange happened. I had had numbness in my fingertips for years. I have since learned that that is referred to as neuropathy. I couldn't even use the kiosk at Mickey Dee's because it didn't register my touch. By the third day of eating like this I started to get feeling back. I used to have to look at my hands just to be able to tie my shoes. That is no longer my reality. Getting my diet in check and actively controlling my insulin, without drugs mind you, was a complete game changer. I'm not on a diet now, I have a diet!

Love this❤ This slight of hand is why we have EXPONENTIAL increase in TYPE 2 Shuggabeetus. In my opinion, they shouldn’t call it diabetes because it is completely different than type 1. A scientific study performed showed that by the year 2020 (yes, 2 years ago), 40% of Americans would be Type 2 Bloodsyrup McBeetus. The average diabetic pays between $200 and $300 a MONTH on medication and supplies to treat their condition. Consider how much money that is?! 40% of our population paying $200+ is HUGE!!!! Plus, the lethality of type 2 has been underrated to allow this fleecing of America to continue longer. The heart attack route is accurate, but if we look at the cellular level, the synthetic fats make the cell wall impermeable for insulin escorting sugar. It’s inflammation that causes your body to repair cell wall damage with fat spackle….enter the antiquated cholesterol and triglyceride model. Another pharmaceutical necessity via statin meds. More and more cardiologists are backing out of the cholesterol model and more and more patients are refusing to take statins because of the very real side effects. It’s all about the 💰 💴 💵 and the current gravy train is slowing down…and those that have bought into it are dying in nursing homes. That’s the trick, keep them barely alive and brain dead.

I enjoyed your video!! I have had heart disease and interventions for it for 30 years, starting in my 40s. When in the hospital, could not eat eggs because they had cholesterol, had to have margarine instead of butter, no salt, no fat of any kind. Served me sherbet instead of ice cream because ice cream had Fat! I was also told it was genetic, because my dad died at age 51 during heart surgery. I thought I would be lucky to reach retirement age! Having had become a medic in the military, I afterward was teaching 1st aid and CPR to boy scouts and others that wanted it. So, after my first heart attack, I started my own research. The organization that provided the "approved diet" for heart patients, was in fact promoting a diet that would Cause heart attacks. No fat, no salt and lots of sugar and carbs. My dad was farm raised with 17 siblings with lots of fresh whole milk, butter, fatty meat etc. He was the only one who developed heart problems. He had just turned 40 when we moved "out west". He became seriously stressed trying to provide necessities for a family of 8 while not getting sufficient income. After my heart attack, I started to research every thing I could on the real root cause of heart disease. My career had me doing root cause analysis of electronic circuit failures, so I was experienced in the processes. In my studies, I came to the conclusion, that the true cause of heart disease is primarily stress and sugar (including alcohol as a sugar). Of course smoking was a problem with many disorders. To sum it up, my personal studies of my stress levels and sugar intake, as well as those of my dad, only added to what I had learned during my research. So, my diet now contains fatty meat (pasture raised when possible) lots of whole eggs (free range), real butter from healthy sources, salt among many other of the banned items. I also eat fruits and healthy vegetables. When possible, I avoid processed foods especially chips and snacks. I get regular exercise, have the same body size and weight that I had when 18 years old. The only issue I have not fully resolved or conquered is chronic stress.
