Butter & Saturated Fat Benefits | Is Butter is Bad for You? | CLA vs. Fat Loss Science (2019)-
Saturated Fat:
Our brains are composed of 60% fat and the majority of the fat in the brain is saturated.

Saturated fat acts as the insulation coating for your nervous system - when you lack this insulation you become more susceptible to external and internal stress.

Specifically, the myelin sheath that surrounds the nerves in the brain and ensures their proper function is also largely made of saturated fat and cholesterol.

Butyrate is the preferred fuel of the cells that line your colon.

Butyrate is used for energy, especially by mucosal cells that line the wall of the colon - these cells get about 70% of their energy needs from butyrate.

Butyrate nourishes intestinal cells that line the gut barrier and supports the assembly of tight junctions that seal gaps between gut barrier cells.

Butyrate promotes brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a substance that increases the growth and differentiation of healthy neurons in the brain.

Mitochondrial biogenesis is the process by which cells increase mitochondrial mass (was discovered that physical endurance training induced higher mitochondrial content levels, leading to greater glucose uptake by muscles)

Furthermore, butyrate prevented the age‐related increase in Gadd45a expression, a gene that mediates denervation‐induced muscle trophy that is directly regulated by HDAC4, and central nuclei in muscle fibers, suggesting butyrate prevents degeneration of muscle fibers.

CLA:
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a naturally occurring trans fatty acid made from omega-6 essential fatty acids in the rumens or guts of pastured ruminants such as cows, goats, and sheep.

Conjugated linoleic acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids containing both cis- and trans- bonds as well as double bonds.
The CLA cis-9,trans-11 is mostly found in foods, whereas trans-10,cis-12 is found in supplements

Vitamin K2:
Vitamin K2 activates two key proteins in the body:

Osteocalcin: once activated, it carries calcium and minerals into bones and teeth - it’s mostly responsible for the dental health and osteoporosis prevention.

Matrix-GLA: The non-bone and teeth benefits of Vitamin K2 are mainly tied to the action of the matrix-GLA protein - this protein is activated only in the presence of Vitamin K2.

= protein helps avoid calcification in the arteries - helps stop calcification in the veins as well since the calcium meant for the bones is ushered into the bones and does not accumulate in veins and arteries.

Vitamin K also helps prevent excess calcium in the brain, and excess dysregulated calcium in the brain accounts for some of the damage from Alzheimer’s.

Animals grazing on vitamin K-rich cereal grasses - especially wheatgrass and alfalfa in a lush green state of growth - produce fat with the highest amounts of Activator X.

Vitamin K2 levels will not be high in butter from grain-fed cows raised in confinement feedlots.

Glycosphingolipids:

Butter also has a high level of glycosphingolipids within it, so adding butter to your diet can increase your defenses in your stomach and digestive tracts.

Glycosphingolipids are a special type of fatty acid that can protect your body against a number of gastrointestinal issues and conditions.

They help create mucus layers along the membrane, making it more difficult for bacterial infections to bind to functioning receptors.

I can proudly say butter cured my stress and tiredness. I’m not even on a keto diet, I just switched all my fats out with organic butter (preferably ghee when I can afford it). It’s weird, but worked like magic.

When I moved to the US, the doctor told me to cut the whole milk, have skim milk, and cut butter and use butter substitutes. In two years from following the doctors advice I ended up with acid reflux, and elevated cholesterol, and those were just the start. Came to the US healthy, followed so called doctors advise to the letter, strictly, and screwed up my body.

The ‘Aha’ Moment is real here. I have been avoiding butter my whole life and realized the organic Earth Balance I have been using for years was actually packed with crappy, terrible oils! You keep me motivated and on track with my Keto journey, Thomas. Thank you! 👏🏼

I use organic butter made by a Amish Neighbor. I totally trust her butter - her parents are 96 & 97.

Since I have a slice of butter a day my itchy-dry eyes symptom gets away.
Butter is also a great source of vitamin A too!!

[elizabethhammond]

So grateful for the science behind your videos!!!! Knowledge is power. I have become so fascinated with the human body during my 40 pound weight loss and I attribute that to your educated videos. Thank you so much Thomas for taking time to share your passion with us.

you hit the nail on the head, I've been eating tons of good fats without gaining a body fat, my immune and test are skyrocketing

New Zealand butter comes also from majority of grass fed cows

[niyrya]

Thanks for explaining it in depth! I have high Cholesterol, and everyone was asking me to stop Keto diet, I will forward this information to them. Thank you! You’re amazing!

[manman]

Wish I knew this 30 years ago when I was going "low fat" for my HEALTH.

[Bilbo]

Comprehensive explanation on the benefits of high quality butter and saturated fat in general, awesome information.

[calebhuang]

For those of you whom react poorly to butter, try Organic Pastures RAW grass finished butter. Raw makes a world of a difference, you can find it at sprouts.

Fried my steak up in butter & beef tallow for lunch today. Then put some butter in my afternoon coffee....I think that puts me at a marathon run!! And yes, I licked that plate clean! Could let the egg yolks I put on the steak go to waste ;-)
