There’s butter……and then there’s heavy cream
Yum yum, i now use “euro-type” butter in my cookin. I dunno why it’s
good, but it’s worth the price. I see GHEE in the shelf as
well….from what I gather it’s “boiled-out” butter. Tastes like
shit or actually okay? I won’t sacrifice taste for health reasons.
Also, what in the world is plain old “heavy cream?” Mr. “no-grain/no-
dairy” Mercola takes it to “eliminate cravings”(since he “found out”
he was a “protein type”). Sounds good, especially if i could make a
number of sauces with it. I love “dipping.” That’s probably one of
the “unfortunate/fortunate” things I “sacrificed” when I started
being “healthy” most of the time. mMMM oily dips. Yummers. Is it
sold refrigerated, shelved…or do I have to go to a special amish
deli and stand in line for freshly “churned” cream? I mean, also, how
does it differ from dairy? I just don’t get it. Ahh Contradictions
contradictions(although OUspensky & “G” realized the scientific
method was flawed & THAT’S the reason for the existence of
contradictions etc etc)

I think that Ghee is butter with the milk solids (fat?) removed. It’s in a
lot of low fat diets. I don’t use it. Give me good ole butter anyday.
Heavy cream has no carbs. Heavy cream when whipped becomes whipped cream.
When beaten too much, it becomes butter and something that doesn’t taste
good. I use it cut with water instead of milk/soy/etc when a recipe calls
for milk or for that rare cup of hot chocolate. It tastes great and doesn’t
effect me like milk/soy does.

Max, you are right –Ghee has the milk solids removed, but, it is NOT a
low fat product. It is 100% fat and has 14 gr. in each tablespoon.
Evidently, it is the milk solids that are bad for us.
If you like to cook with butter, as I do, ghee is a better choice as it
does not burn. It is expensive in HFS, but I buy the butter when on sale
and make my own. Very easy. …Wanda
