The high-vitamin butter oil has much higher nutrient levels than ghee

because it is centrifuged to concentrate them. Ghee is certainly

healthy but not as useful as a supplement.

If the cost of butter oil is prohibitive (it is for me), I recommend

vitamin K2 MK-4. Vitamin K2 is likely the X-factor that Price

discovered (or at least a very important part of it) and at least one

person has noticed similar positive effects from high-vitamin butter

oil and synthetic vitamin K2:

Carlson vitamin K2 MK-4 is the cheapest per milligram:

However, if you take K2 alone, you are missing out on any other

nutrients contained in the butter oil.

So the physical act of turning butter around in a centrifuged makes

the nutrients more available or is it that if creme is spun around

fast in a centrifuge it makes the nutrients go toward the bottom so

you an isolate them? I am wondering how this works and I am wondering

how much a centrifuger costs b/c at 60 dollars a bottle, it might be

more economical to buy one and use it for years.

Another thing is to make the ghee they have to heat it.

Wow! Would be nice if such a thing existed as a butter centrifuge - or

would any old centrifuge do?

They do centrifuge some coconut oils.

There is " raw ghee " available but I remember reading a debate on the

lists about whether such a product is actually ghee. And if I remember

correctly, butter oil is actually a fraction of the lipids available,

accounting for the increased nutritional profile of several nutrients

via the use of a centrifuge, and ghee is simply the removal of the

milk solids via heating. Again, its been awhile but that is what I

recall of the matter.

statement that we own our own bodies has an entirely different

meaning. It refers to the claim that we each have free will; that no

one person may take it upon himself to enslave another, even for the

latter's " own good. " - Walter Block

When I talked on the phone to the wife in the couple that actually

produces the butter oil, she said they actually had a heck of a time

figuring out the process. They had to go through Dr. Price's old

records and figure it out. It isn't just centrifuging, not at all.

The butter has to crystallize first, and I think there are several

other steps. They might be willing to tell you, if you wanted to

call. It takes a LOT of milk to make the butter oil. That's a big

part of why it's so expensive.

the melting point of butter is 90-95 F, so in theory you can make ghee

with some enzymes still intact. i thought that the butter oil was rather

more like concentrating the vitamins and Wulzen factor, etc. in the

highest quality butter, while leaving less of the fat.

The butter oil will have more vitamins, but one of the most

beneficial aspects of the butter is the saturated fat, which is

plentiful in ghee. When looking towards " native nutrition " , how often

would our ancestors be using a centrifuge to concentrate their

butter? Ghee is simple to make, delicious and highly praised by the

indian rishi's. It doesn't clog the liver and has profound health

benefits. It is my #1 choice, even over raw butter!

the lack of enzymes in ghee is not a big deal. the body is digesting

the fat with bile secreted by the liver. maybe you are missing

lipase, but there is no protein that needs to be digested once the

butter is clarified.

why would you choose ghee over raw butter? I choose raw butter.

i found that ghee is much easier to digest. when i would mix raw bison with raw

butter, i would get hot and my liver would hurt. if i mixed it with ghee, i did

not have this problem, no heat and no pain. i think the raw butter is more

difficult to digest than the ghee from this experience. both will clean out the

liver and gallbladder of stones and nourish the body, so i would say just go

with what feels better for you.
