Is Butter Good or Bad?

Butter is another villain that doesn’t get the credit it deserves. When it is eaten with a generally poor diet, it will absolutely raise cholesterol levels across the board. However, persons in Denmark, Switzerland and Finland eat far more butterfat than we do here in the States, and yet have much less heart disease than we do in America. How can this be?
People in parts of Africa eat as much as 60 to 65% of their calories from butter fat, but because the rest of their diet is unrefined and full of natural fruits and vegetables, heart disease is virtually unheard of as they enjoy an average of 125 milligrams of blood cholesterol per person.
Even here in America, our grandparents and great-grandparents would slather butter on everything they could eat; yet heart disease was not nearly as prevalent prior to World War II as it is today. One of the reasons for this is because they ate 'Natural-Homemade' butter, not the kind that has been 'homogenized' so that it will last longer. It is so easy to make home made butter, you might want to make the switch so you can start enjoying real food again without all the guilt.
The natural conclusion would be that it is not cholesterol alone that is the problem here, but rather the lack of the other nutrients needed to effectively utilize it, and then process any extra out of the body.
