7 reasons why butter is your friend and should not be demonized

Do you feel guilty just hearing about butter? Can you imagine the fat settling on your hips and buttocks? It is the fault of 50 years of demonization of this precious and natural food that is now - finally - re-evaluated by nutritionists, scholars, cooking experts and starred chefs who, in the year of Expo 2015, decree its definitive rehabilitation.

And just in the last few days it was discussed in Milan during a conference entitled "The Great Ransom of Butter", during which Prof. Pier Luigi Rossi, medical specialist in Food Sciences, Davide Scabin, multi-starred chef, also took part. by Combal Zero and Marianna Vitale, chef of the restaurant South.

So why do you have to bring it back to your table? Here are 7 good reasons to do it right away.

1. It's natural

Butter is an emulsion of water and lipid molecules. It is a natural food whose nutritional nature makes it well tolerated even by those suffering from food allergies.

2. It is rich in vitamin D

Butter is a well digestible food, with very little lactose and rich in important vitamins (A, E, K). Not only that: it is one of the few foods to contain vitamin D, today defined as a hormone due to its action equal to steroid hormones. Vitamin-hormone D acts on the integrity of the bones, and the most innovative scientific research has highlighted its leading role also on the immune system.

3. It is important for growth

The fatty acids (including Omega 3 and Omega 6) contained in the butter mixed together contribute to the growth and continuous renewal of the cells of living organisms. Butter is therefore a vital food, suitable for a rapidly growing organism, such as a child or teenager, as well as being a precious ally for the muscles in those who perform physical activity.

4. It has fewer calories than oil

From a nutritional point of view, a portion of 10 grams of butter provides fewer calories than the same dose of extra virgin olive oil: 75 calories for butter, 90 calories for oil. The reason? The butter, being an emulsion, contains about 15% of water, while in oil there is no water, only fat.

5. It's good!

Milk is one of the most wonderful and complex works of nature. Fundamental to life. The butter is the noblest part, in which all its energetic power, aromas and flavors reside.

6. Satisfy yourself more

Butter contains animal fats, which are natural and therefore better than vegetable ones, also because they almost immediately give a sense of satiety.

7. Is it anti-cancer (maybe)

According to recent studies, it even seems that butter is useful for fighting cancer since it contains an anticarcinogenic fatty acid that is produced by cows when they eat grass.

Green light therefore to butter in your dishes. Of course, always in moderation, and choosing one made with high quality raw materials such as, for example, that of the Brazzale Group, produced with very fresh centrifugal cream and churned within 24 hours of milking.
