Short- and Medium-Chain Fatty Acids: Butter contains about 12-15% short- and

medium-chain fatty acids. This type of saturated fat does not need to be

emulsified by bile salts but is absorbed directly from the small intestine to

the

liver, where it is converted into quick energy. These fatty acids also have

antimicrobial, antitumor and immune-system-supporting properties, especially

12-carbon lauric acid, a medium-chain fatty acid not found in other animal fats.

Highly protective lauric acid should be called a conditionally essential fatty

acid because it is made only by the mammary gland and not in the liver like

other

saturated fats.65 We must obtain it from one of two dietary sources—small

amounts

in butterfat or large amounts in coconut oil. Four-carbon butyric acid is all

but

unique to butter. It has antifungal properties as well as antitumor effects.
