It is a great skin fungus fighter. I take a coconut oil gel tab every night. Use the oil on my wet skin, then pat dry.

Yes butter is better, even the light butter. I also get The Spreadable butter with olive oil for things like toast.

Hubby sticks with the indigestible, little taste margarine.

True, but we can only go by how stuff works in our bodies or on our bodies.

When I spent a week in the hospital on that Meniere’s attack on a tray liquid diet, I drank the juice, tea or coffee. The rest of the time I starved. I know my salt limit, they exceeded several hundred %. Despite the order for low sodium.

I now have a new drug to add to my reaction list too, Reglan. Worthless, broke me out in a itchy rash.

“By the time a modern American beef cow is six months old, it has seen its last blade of grass for the rest of its life. As soon as they wean, they spend the first six months out on the pasture with their moms, nursing, nibbling grass. The mom is converting the grass’s protein that’s turning into milk for the animal, doing the way they’ve done it for millions of years. We take them off grass. We put them in pens, called backgrounding pens, and we teach them how to eat something that they are not evolved to eat, which is grain, and mostly corn.”

One problem with meat from corn fed beef is the meat lacks Omega3.

To think that farmers don’t understand what an animal grows best on and stays healthy is ludicrous.

That's the problem: farmers need to grow the animals fast to make a good profit.

Growing the animals instead to produce the healthiest meat for consumers to eat is another story.

LOL! It's obvious you were not raised on a farm or even have much familiarity with it. Using PBS as your source??? Have they also convinced you to be a vegetarian?

I spent the first raising dairy, beef, and hogs. Your "mostly grain" comment would kill any ruminant. After I left the fact m I owned and managed a feed and soil testing lab and in that capacity recomended feed rations. I can assure you that "mostly grain" is not what cattle a e fed until the last month before they go to market. Ruminant (which cattle are) would grow very poorly and be very sickly on "mostly grain". They need the " mostly roughage" for their digestive tract to function properly and keep them healthy. It's only a healthy animal that grows well. A ruminant fed "mostly grain" is not a healthy animal. So forget your PBS nonsense.

“Research is proving that the health concerns long associated with eating beef result not from eating beef, but rather from eating corn-fed beef.”

“Feeding cattle on corn fundamentally changes the meat they produce, greatly increasing levels of unhealthy Omega-6 fatty acids and decreasing levels of healthy Omega-3 fatty acids. This change greatly impacts the healthiness of meat for human consumption.”

You didn’t even read my post did you. Stay with your stupidity if you wish. I won’t spend any more time on ignorance.
