Real vs refined food - an example

From Tom Naughton in Real Food Butter vs. Canola Oil: Spot the Real Food

" Canola oil, as you probably know, is the current “It Girl” among the lipophobes because it’s mostly monosaturated, like olive oil."

" But the big machines are making butter pretty much like your great-grandmother did: taking cream and churning it with some salt. The end result is real food."
.

"
Chemical solvents, industrial steaming, de-waxing, bleaching, and de-odorizing. Yummy. Have you ever heard of anyone having to de-odorize butter?

Real food on one hand, chemically processed industrial food on the other. And yet we’re supposed to believe it’s the real food that’s bad for us.

Your great-grandmother knew better."
