The high abundance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and low abundance of saturated fat in grass-fed butter make it a better choice than conventional butter for a healthier heart.
By Dr. Sanchari Sinha Dutta, Ph.D.Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM Why is grass-fed butter a better option than conventional butter?What are the health benefits of grass-fed butter? Grass-fed butter is produced from milk that is derived from grass-fed cows. 1 Although they mostly rely on a grass-centric diet, these cows are fed small amounts of grains in winter to keep them healthy while producing milk.
Moreover, grass-fed butter exhibits significantly lower atherogenicity and thrombogenicity indices than conventional butter. 5 In this context, evidence indicates that cows eating a grass-based diet produce milk with higher levels of bioactive compounds, including beta-carotene, vitamins, and terpenes, than those eating a grain-based diet. 8
Phenolic, hydrocarbon, and heterocyclic compounds present in grass-fed butter are responsible for its flavor. Ruminal degradation of beta-carotene generates a phenolic compound called p-cresol, which is particularly responsible for a barnyard-like and cowy odor. 11 Grass-fed cow milk contains 500% more conjugated linoleic acid than cows fed typical dairy diets. Conjugated linoleic acid is a group of fatty acids known to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. 12 Several pre-clinical studies and human studies have shown anticancer, anti-obesity, and anti-atherosclerotic properties of conjugated linoleic acid. 13
