Is Ghee/Clarified butter the same as butter oil?

Is Ghee/Clarified butter the same as butter oil?
Ghee/clarified butter is NOT the same as butter oil.
The difference is in procedure used for manufacturing. Butter oil is extracted from cream at low temperature and high speed to preserve nutrients, taste and aroma. Good butter oil should have strong aroma not a NUTTY FLAVOR. Nutty flavor indicates butter oil was cooked at high temperature and certain nutrients (low chain fatty acids and certain vitamins) may have been lost.
The ghee is not completely free from lactose or proteins. However properly prepared butter oil is free from lactose and milk proteins. Since butter oil is completely free from milk solids, it does not spoil faster and has longer shelf life than ghee.
So While buying butter oil ask for the procedure that was used to manufacture.

High Vitamin Butter Oil–High Value Supplement for Acne?



High Vitamin Butter Oil–High Value Supplement for Acne?

100% Independent Natural Acne Treatment Information

What exactly is this butter oil? How is it made? It is made from dairy oil that is extracted from cows without any heat (which would destroy some of its beneficial properties). The other important property is that it comes from cows eating rapidly growing grass, and only grass, a cow’s natural food. This ensures the product has the highest nutritional quality possible.
Now how does this relate to someone suffering with acne? The answer is that it provides the highest concentration of quality fats that the acne sufferer desperately needs. In typical modern societies you are going to be looking at one of three sources for these fats, raw milk, raw cheese, or high vitamin butter oil. One of these sources is nearly essential for great results with acne. Butter oil has the advantage for people who cannot obtain raw milk or raw cheese to obtain these essential fats. Now I would still say raw milk is the best out of these as it can be taken in high quantities which helps the acne sufferer a lot.

Is Eating Too Much Flax Seed Bad?

Is Eating Too Much Flax Seed Bad?Like any other food, eating excessive amounts of flax seeds can be harmful to your health. Raw flax seeds naturally contain cyanogenic glycosides-such as linamarin, linustatin, and neolinustatin. These cyanogenic glycosides can release cyanates that can be combined with sulfur molecules in our body to form thiocyanates. Excessive amounts of thiocyanates can sometimes be a problematic for our thyroid function and, for this reason, flax seeds are considered goitrogenic. These cyanogenic glycosides are not exclusive to flaxseed and are found in brassica vegetables and cassava, with many of the health concerns regarding cyanogenic glycosides stemming from studies showing that cassava was toxic to animals and humans (McMahon and others 1995). Cassava contains significantly more cyanogenic glycosides than flaxseed.

In addition to cyanogenic glycosides, trypsin inhibitor, linatine, and phytic acid are other antinutrients contained in flaxseed. Trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA) in flaxseed is lower than those in soybean and canola seeds.

Other anti-nutritional compound present in flax seeds is linatine, an antipyridoxine factor. Although linatine is a problem in chicks, flaxseed has not been associated with a vitamin B6 deficiency in humans. In fact, no effect on serum pyridoxine levels in subjects consuming 45 grams of flaxseed per day over 5 wk has been observed (Dieken 1992). These data suggests that linatine is not of a concern as long as we eat less than 45 g of flax seeds a day.

How much is too much flax seeds?Daun and others (2003) reported that a person would have to consume 8 cups (1 kg) of ground flaxseed to achieve acute cyanide toxicity. At the recommend daily intake of about 1 to 2 tablespoons, approximately 5 – 10 mg of hydrogen cyanide is released from flaxseed, which is well below the estimated acute toxic dose for an adult of 50 to 60 mg inorganic cyanide and below the 30 to 100 mg/d humans can routinely detoxify (Roseling 1994)

Eating excessive amounts of flax seeds too quickly can cause mild digestive problems in some people. This means flax seeds take some getting used to. We suggest: start out with a teaspoon daily and work your way up to a tablespoon. In a balanced diet that already provides omega-3 fatty acids from other foods, one tablespoon (eight grams) of flaxseed daily will often provide enough alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) to meet person’s omega-3 dietary needs.

Grass fed Butter Oil-What is it?


Grass fed Butter Oil-What is it?
Green grasses are rich in precursors of vitamin E and Vitamin A, unsaturated fatty acids and sugars. Cows grazing on GREEN Pastures consume the precursors of these essential nutrients. Vitamin E and A are fat soluble vitamins and stays with fat portion of the milk. Milk from cows grazing in lush GREEN pastures is naturally rich in VITAMIN E and A; anti-oxidants and Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). The CLA is a healthy fat. The butter and butter oil made from the milk of cows grazing on lush green pastures is generally deep yellow in color, because of beta carotene (Vitamin A precursor). The bottom line is milk and butter or butter oil is 2-5 times more nutritious than milk and butter or butter oil from cows that are fed dry grass and grain inside the barn.
