In India people have been drinking raw milk and butter-milk and using Ghee(oil made from butter) for ages and which all along has been condiered source of energy,lubrication of inner vital parts of body and enjoyed good health .Now since modren medicine has taken over doctors suggest to consume only skim milk ,not to take Ghee,as full of saturated fats and so on.One of the reason why Cow became a revered animal is that infant children were fed the milk of cow and so cow was given the status of mother.

Could you please comment on whether Ghee is harmful as the modren medicine says or it is not.Incidently cow milk in India is very light and has much less fats then Buffalow milk abd a reason why infants and sick people are fed with cow milk.Ayuerveda(Indian Traditional Meical system ) in fact has many medicines which are taken with cow milk and Ghee and saints consumed cow milk.
Any comments on consumtion of Ghee instead of other oils.
Thanks

I love the Anchor butter wrapper........ as it states thart this New Zealand produced butter comes from grass fed cows!! so at least they understand the importance of that...and the news is spreading (no pun intended!)
I have a constant battle, trying to persuade the writers of a large, local hospital's advice leaflets which I review, the complete nonsense they write concerning the importance of...... "a low fat", "no saturated fat " diet!!.
...STILL perpetuating the myth of dietry cholesterol being the major case of heart disease etc.!!
....That is when they even bother to mention diet at all in their advice of course, which is not often and invariably erroneous.

Hey, writing from Vermont where I raise goats and cows, on pasture. CLA I've read about previously and acknowledge the benefit. I wonder if freezing the butter I've made (far too much for me and my family) will affect the CLA, is it still of value to us after being frozen? I brought some to farmer's market and traded some for federal reserve notes and marked it not for human consumption because Vermont's so-called law prohibits sale of uninspected unpasteurized dairy. Well, as luck would have it, a representative of the Department of Agriculture showed up at the booth which put a crimp in my style because I don't want the market shut down for others peddling their wares. What in the world am I going to do with these pounds and pounds of freshly made CLA-rich butter? I guess I need to freeze it but I need to know that it retains the value of the CLA before I bother. I figure I can always make butter-rich baked goods to market--anyone with suggestion that uses lots? Help!

How come when I look at Vital Notes there are may posts dated weeks prior to it appearing in the newsletter that day?

hi,
for all of you'll who cannot find raw milk in your area, Nature Made has Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) capsules...500 mg each..so for 3.4 gms or 3400 mg, thats 7 capsules a day.

an article from about.com suggested that you should go with a patented name brand as some CLA supplements brands have inconsistent or insufficient CLA amounts in them.

The brand Tonalin was tested and recommended. It comes in 1000 mg capsules. So for 3.4 g, or 3400 mg, per day -- you would need to take 4 of these capsules a day. Better than taking 7 capsules a day :-)

Tonalin is available from Drugstore.com

We've been blessed in living in a small rural area of southern Oregon, and we've been raising our own beef for the last four years. All the cows are coriannie, and are grass fed. The only time they might get grain is the last month of their life to fatten them up a bit. This particular breed has hardly any fat in the meat (muscle) itself; it all tends to go towards the inside where the organs are. We use absolutely no hormones, and occasionally if they step on a rusty nail or such, they are then treated with antibiotics. Over the four years we've been raising our beef, this has happened once. What still amazes me is when you are frying up hamburger, there is no fat to drain! Nothing could ever convince me to buy store bought meat again! For us, one cow feeds us for a year with some left over. It gives us an opportunity to share with friends, and we reap the benefits of a healthy animal. Since we only have a little over two acres, we only raise enough to feed ourselves and usually sell the others to reinvest for the next year. I realize not everyone has the opportunity we do, living in a ranching community. If you have an opportunity to buy from a farmer or rancher who raises their animals in this matter, I would highly recommend supporting them. It is well worth the extra price; you cannot put a price on your health!

Love hearing that grass fed beef is good in so many ways! We can get it here in Atlanta, GA at the farmers' market. Raw milk is a different story. I have yet to find a supplier in the Atlanta area. Anyone know of any?

Behold, limelemon, the CLA content of dairy foods on varying amounts of grass. It does depend on the diet of the cow.

Don't forget that CLA is the only GOOD trans-fat.

Let's make sure that campaigns against trans-fats don't eliminate foods with CLA, like butter and meat from fully grass-fed animals.

We certainly don't want the bad manufactured trans-fats, but we also don't want CLA taken away from us.

I myself was skeptical of getting it from safflower oil. is there any way to get it from an animal source extracted?

Also i have read somewhere that cooking meat increases it's CLA content. Is that true?

Also i have read that the marrow is concentrated with it. Is that true? The white or red marrow?

so many questions and nobody knows i am sure.

I really like this artical. I actually read something like this a year and a half ago from a health letter I got in the mail that my mom did not want. Most of my friends think any kind of fat is bad but they still eat fench fries everyday. I should show my friends at school but they would make fun of me (some friends that I have). I am know as the health weirdo in my group of friends at my high school. At least I know I'm healthy.
