Guest guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I don't eat anything but butter and olive oil and my cholesterol is low. My sister uses Errth Balance and hers is high. Could be just our genetics but it makes me wonder. My Grandparents on both sides lived on butter and they all lived to be in their 90's with no cholesterol problems. I'm never giving up my butter. I can't stand eggs and have cow's milk allergy and eat a sprinkle of parmesan now and then and that's about it, so I don't feel I'm in any danger. Flavor is everything to me.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Understandable.....for sure. Ahhh, flavor...makes me think of a funny story my former mother-in-law (she celebrated her 90th birthday in January) told me about butter. She told me one time that she didn't eat butter.....it tasted like a cow had stepped in the pail of milk with a dirty hoof. Now that sounded pretty yucky to me but then I don't think I have ever tasted butter that reminded me of a cow's dirty hoof. Dolores had some fairly strange ideas about things, but I still love her. Nancy C. I don't eat anything but butter and olive oil and my cholesterol is low. My sister uses Errth Balance and hers is high. Could be just our genetics but it makes me wonder.
