There are many fat-soluble vitamins in butter. This includes vitamins A, E and K2. Let’s talk about Vitamin K2 or Menaquinone, which is quite rare in the modern diet and that many people do not know about.
Vitamin K2 can have powerful effects on health. It is intimately involved in calcium metabolism and low intake has been associated with many serious diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer and osteoporosis.
The dairying of cows fed on grass is particularly rich in vitamin K2. The “war” against saturated fat was based on bad science. It has never been proven that they cause any harm. In fact, recent studies even suggest that there is no association between saturated fat and cardiovascular disease. Saturated fats increase the HDL (good) cholesterol and change the small-dense LDL (very bad) to a large molecule LDL that is benign.
In addition, butter contains a decent amount of short and medium chain fat … which is metabolized differently from other fats. They lead to improved satiety and increased fat burning.
