Here's a bit of information about butter which may not yet have come your way.

Here's a bit of information about butter which may not yet have come your way. - Anchor butter, which used to be a pastured butter, can no longer be relied upon to be a pastured butter. - Previously it was made from the milk of cows that eat grass - New Zealand grass as it happens, because Anchor butter used to come from New Zealand, where there is lots of grass and lots of fine sunny days for the cows to go out into the pastures to feed. When cows feed on grass in pastures, their milk and other dairy products are said to be pastured. (Not to be confused with the word pasteurised.)- So Anchor butter no longer has  the health benefits that it used to have when it was from grass-fed cows. President butter is pastured butter, and I believe Kerrygold is also pastured butter.

You can read here why pastured butter is better for you than butter from cows that are not grass-fed: http://aboutsalt.blogspot.co.uk/2010/08/have-you-ever-given-thought-as-to-which.html

And you can read here why butter is much, much, much, much, much better for you than margarine! - http://wildeaboutobesity.blogspot.co.uk/2010/12/butter-is-good-better-and-best.html

Maybe, like me, you were lured along the wrong path many years ago, but it is never too late to change to the healthier option. - Go on! - Give it a whirl!
