Unlike margarines, butter is a completely natural food essential to your health – especially when you eat organic!
Butter is rich in vitamins A, E, K and D, as well as trace minerals such as selenium (a powerful antioxidant). Butter also has appreciable amounts of butyric acid (known to be an anticarcinogen). And yes, butter is a source of cholesterol, which is needed to maintain intestinal health as well as for brain and nerve development in children.
