We eat French and Irish butter, and much of it is from grassfed cows. We also eat goat butter, which I am sure is from grassfed goats (it's delightfully tasty.) We're also huge cheese eaters. I love French goat cheeses, and German alpine cheeses. eatwild.com Two new studies suggest that grassfed meat and dairy products may reduce the risk of breast cancer CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) is a cancer-fighting fat that is most abundant in grassfed products. Two new European studies link a diet high in CLA with a lower risk of breast cancer. In Finland, researchers measured CLA levels in the serum of women with and without breast cancer. Those women with the most CLA had a significantly lower risk of the disease. Meanwhile, French researchers measured CLA levels in the breast tissues of 360 women. Once again, the women with the most CLA had the lowest risk of cancer. In fact, the women with the most CLA had a staggering 74% lower risk of breast cancer than the women with the least CLA. The most natural and effective way to increase your intake of CLA is to eat the meat and dairy products of grassfed animals. (A. Aro et al, Kuopio University, Finland; Bougnoux, P, Lavillonniere F, Riboli E. "Inverse relation between CLA in adipose breast tissue and risk of breast cancer. A case-control study in France." Inform 10;5:S43, 1999) rench cheese has more CLA than ordinary American cheese French cheeses are among the most carefully crafted and coveted in the world. Now there's another reason to seek them out: they're especially high in cancer-fighting CLA . A 1998 survey found that CLA levels in French cheese range from 5.3 to 15.8 mg/g of fat. American cheese from conventional dairies has half this amount, with levels ranging from 2.9 to 7.1. The reason? Typically, American dairies raise their cows in confinement and feed them a grain-based diet. French dairies are more likely to raise their cows on pasture, resulting in naturally high levels of CLA Fortunately, cheese from American pasture-based dairies has the same CLA advantage as French cheese. Search the Eat Wild Pastured Products Directory for cheese suppliers and treat yourself to an extra helping of CLA.

The healthiest population which consumes the greatest amount of saturated fat is the Cretans. The source of their fat is fish and olive oil, so there are fats and there are fats. As I pointed out, the Fr. consume a lot of wine and cheese, and fruit, and at least some of their sat fat has to come from olive oil and fish. If people consume enough vegetable sterol it will cancel out their cholesterol and fat intake. This is another factor of the Swiss and French diet which is unknown at present but may be different. jn.nutrition.org jn.nutrition.org cababstractsplus.org "Cholesterol oxidation products, termed oxysterols, are increasingly considered of potential interest in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic lesions. Of dietary or endogenous origin, oxysterols may occur in significant amounts in low density lipoprotein (LDL) particles, especially in hypercholesterolemic subjects. They likely contribute to the uptake of modified LDL by scavenger receptors and some of them finally accumulate in the subintimal space of major arteries; here cholesterol oxides may favor the perpetuation of a chronic inflammatory state, through their ability to trigger irreversible damage of vascular cells with consequent activation of phagocytes. Furthermore, practically all oxysterols of major pathophysiologic interest have been shown to markedly up-regulate expression and synthesis of adhesion molecules, inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Cholesterol oxidation thus appears to be an important biochemical pathway through which it exerts toxic, inflammatory and finally atherogenic effects." It is a fact from radioactive tracer test that 70% of the plaque on the arteries come from cholesterol contained in food, not cholesterol made by the liver. It is also a fact that vegetarians get far less HD than meat eaters in North America, and also they live longer, die less from other causes. So avoidance of cholesterol and killing cholesterol with vegetable sterols DOES WORK in fact. Avoidance is an option. What causes people to kill cholesterol plaque where they eat a lot of animal fat may be: 1. sun 2. fish and olive oil, walnuts, nuts 3. eating grass fed cattle high in CLA 4. exercise which increase their HDL and reverse transport of cholesterol - from arteries. 5. alcohol, especially red wine consumption 6. eating less overall. 7. total D3 intake from all sources. dairy may be a good source of D3. 8. probiotic dairy and primitive poorly milled heavy bread intake. (fiber) 9. vegetable green intake. Sterols kill cholesterol. ********************************************
