It seems to be Kurt Oster's hypothesis about xanthine oxidase (XO) making it through the gut in the smaller lipid particles in homogenized milk. There are a few problems with Oster's theory, basically that nobody has been able to reproduce his results since 1971. The increases in serum XO levels after drinking homogenized milk or cream are observed after any fatty meal, whether or not there is any XO in the food at all. Second, there is substantial evidence that XO levels in the blood and lymph are tightly regulated and that a dietary source would simply temporarily reduce endogenous production (much like cholesterol). Third, XO seems to exhibit both oxidizing catalyst and anti-oxidant properties, and seems to be a part of a signal pathway, so it's presence in our bodies should not be particularly alarming. And finally, we are learning a lot more about how athersclerotic plaques form, and except for it's variable contribution to inflammatory processes in and around blood and lymph, XO is not particularly worrying. Now, if you're referring to a different hypothesis by which the smaller lipid particles of homogenized milk might be a cause of athersclerosis, I'd love to learn more. Google doesn't have anything about it on the first few pages of my searces. If your Vitamin D3 levels are up, your HDL levels are up (and consist of larger particle sized), your triglycerides are down, and your LDL also consists of larger particles, you're pretty good. To achieve that, stay away from sugars, grains, and starches, and take 4k-10k UI Vitamin D3/day and 1-2g nicotinic acid/day. That is a fascinating hypothesis of athersclerosis.

I have heard of this amazing, pastured, unpasteurized butter of which you speak. But unfortunately we don't seem to have it down here in Melbourne. I visit the farmers markets regularly, but no luck. I have heard and read of it being available only up in Sydney and QLD. Hi Glenn. I have heard of this amazing, pastured, unpasteurized butter of which you speak.
