Here’s 1 good reason to eat more butter, milk and parmesan cheese
This substance has been on my radar for a long time, and with this study, we have seen how magical it really is.
Butyric acid is what’s known as a short-chain fatty acid (SCFA).
It’s one of the 3 most common SCFAs in your gut.
It makes up almost half of all SCFAs in your gut.
Butyric acid’s primary role is to provide energy to your colon cells.
Of course, it’s not limited to this.
It has many more discovered and undiscovered functions.
A quick search on the Internet can list the benefits of butyric acid as follows:
May treat IBS
Helps with colon cancer
Improves insulin sensitivity
These are great things, of course, but there’s more…
A brand new study that I’m showing you today surprised me big time.
It made me realize that the benefits of this fatty acid can be HUGE.
Here’s the study:
This study was conducted at Central Drug Research Institute, India. It was published in Food Chemistry: Molecular Sciences.
In this study, the first objective of the researchers was to investigate the benefits of stearic acid on the gut in more depth.
Because they knew the benefits of stearic acid on the gut from early reports.
But the results were much broader than just intestinal.
I will present them to you a little bit later on…
The researchers took 2 groups of mice and fed them both high-fat diets (60%).
One group received extra sodium butyrate.
After 8 weeks, they assessed the mice’s body composition, weight gain, body adiposity (fat), and biochemical parameters.
Now, on to those impressive results I’ve just mentioned…
1. Sodium butyrate improved the serum lipid profile and reduced body obesity.
“Compared to the HFD group, the NaB-treated group had lower body weight and food intake, and a substantial drop in eWAT weight. (…) NaB group had significant reductions in lipid markers.”
Not only did the butyrate+HFD mice weigh less (~20%) than the HFD mice, they weighed even less than the control group.
2. Sodium butyrate improved insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance
“When compared to the HFD group, the glucose tolerance of the NaB group improved dramatically. Similarly, an insulin tolerance test suggested an increase in insulin sensitivity.”
3. Sodium butyrate ameliorated adipose tissue inflammation
“At tissue level profiling studies, the pro-inflammatory gene expression such as MhcII, Nfκb, Ifnγ, Tnfα, and Mcp-1 was significantly decreased compared to that of HFD alone fed group.”
4. Sodium butyrate improved leaky gut (less endotoxin!)
“Our studies exhibited that NaB increased the expression of tight junction proteins of intestinal linings and thereby enhanced intestinal barrier integrity.”
This substance has been on my radar for a long time, and with this study, we have seen how magical it really is.
It deserves to be incorporated into our lives.
And there are some ways to do that.
Taking sodium butyrate supplements.
Eating foods rich in butyric acid, such as butter, milk, and parmesan cheese.
Consume resistant starch and fiber, because the bacteria in our gut can produce butyric acid from them.
And the good news is that butyric acid has no reported side effects.
Another study found that butyric acid supplementation reported no side effects at a dose of 300mg per day.
So, it’s safe to try!

Men who eat sugar, BURN sugar — and here’s why that’s a GREAT thing
Remember being a kid and being warm and full of energy all the time?
You’d go outside to play in the cold and wouldn’t even want your jacket.
It’s ‘cause as kids, we are always burning up… our bodies are constantly burning SUGAR.
YOUTH is sugar burning. Even scientists agree.
But as we age, our metabolisms get slow and cold, and instead of burning sugar for energy, the body starts burning fat…
And believe it or not, this is a BAD thing.
Do you know what eventually happens to men who only burn fat and not sugar?
Diabetes, low testosterone, “rockiness” problems, obesity, more age-related diseases, even cancer…
So a hot, fast sugar-burning metabolism is the key to remaining young and healthy no matter how old you are.
Here’s how to kickstart your body into burning sugar again naturally — something any man can do at home.
