Making butter better

The carnivore diet means eating high-fat, low-carb animal products. And what’s best is the butter! In fact, butter can be one of the keys to getting enough fat on the carnivore diet along with most meats.

Butter is also a fantastic source of highly beneficial fatty acids like butyrate and Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) that reduce inflammation and protect your heart. 

The amount of benefits of butter can offer you on the carnivore diet are endless, and Ember & Oak is now offering Steak Butter– the best types of butter to incorporate into your carnivore diet meal plan. The carnivore diet calls for eating only animal products and eliminating all processed foods and even plant foods. The nutritional philosophy behind the carnivore diet is based on studies that show that our physiology developed on a hypercarnivorous diet of fatty meat for millions of years. The fats, proteins, and micronutrients provided by animal products form the ideal building blocks of cell structures and hormones–the keys to overall health and wellness. 

The carnivore diet eliminates unnecessary dietary stressors, including excess fiber, carbs, anti-nutrients, and plant toxins. We are not only carnivores, we are “fatavores.” This means that when we eliminate most carbs, we need to get the remaining calories from animal fats!

Other benefits of introducing butter into your daily diet is Vitamin A- mostly version called retinol that comes from animal sources- essential for important physiological functions, including maintaining vision, proper growth in early life, and a functioning immune system. Only two tablespoons (28 grams) of butter supply 22% of your recommended daily intake of vitamin A. As a fat-soluble vitamin, when retinal is consumed with butterfat it is absorbed into the bloodstream and easily utilized by the body.  The fatty acid called Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is produced naturally in the process of fermenting grass into fat that takes place in the digestive system of ruminant animals like cows, and sheep. CLA is beneficial in numerous ways, including anti cancer properties, reduction of excess body fat, and strengthens the immune system by reducing inflammation. A particularly beneficial saturated fat found in butter is lauric acid. Research on Lauric shows that its acid reduces harmful bacteria in the gut in route to promoting a beneficial intestinal environment. 

The feed of dairy cows has been shown to have significant effects on the nutrients in the butter made from their milk. For example, grass-fed butter has been found to contain 25%  more anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids. More impressive yet, grass-fed butter has also been found to provide up to 500% more CLA than butter from grain-fed cattle which is why Ember and Oak’s Steak Butter is selective on where our fat is sourced from to offer you the most superior version possible.
