Here is the scoop on butter…Aside from my long standing belief that the closer your food is to it’s natural state the better, at a recent nutritional seminar, I received a list of the good nutrients in one of my favorite sources of fat in the diet, which helps to prove my point.

Butter is a great source of Vitamins A, E, D, and K2.  It also contains Lecithin (good for modulating cholesterol), MCFA’s (medium chain fatty acids, essential for cell wall integrity), Selenium, Iodine, Manganese, and CLA (conjugated linoleic acid, prescribed for weight loss!). 

So  imagine a food as tasty as butter, that offers all the benefits in this list, after all those years of being told how utterly horrible it is for us.   A great reason to celebrate and throw a pat of butter on your roasted asparagus.  Yum!
