5. Butter
Delicious, creamy, smooth butter has been blamed for everything from heart disease to obesity to your mother-in-laws one-month visit.
The truth is butter had nothing to do with your mother in law, nor did it have anything to do with your love handles. Well, as long as you ate the right kind!
Margarine is full of ugly stuff that does not belong in your body. This makes completely natural butter the logical choice. You need to choose butter from grass fed cows, however, as this will have a major impact on the nutritional makeup of your butter.
Butter that is made from grass fed cows is rich in vitamin K2, which is important for our heart health as well as our bone health. Real butter also contains that CLA we mentioned earlier. Don’t forget that CLA has been shown in studies to reduce body fat and increase your lean muscle mass. If that isn’t a great reason to eat butter right there, what is?

In a recent review of more than 15 studies, the consumption of butter was not found to cause any source of harm, no increased rates of metabolic disease, and no increased rates of heart disease or obesity.
So don’t be afraid of sweet, creamy butter. Just be sure you get it from grass fed cows and you are good to go. Make things easy on yourself, ask your mother-in-law to bring you some.
