Mahatma Gandhi once rejected all animal products, including milk, calling it unnecessary and superstitious. But after a serious illness in 1918, he reluctantly accepted goat’s milk to recover, later acknowledging its unique health benefits, according to GreenMedInfo. His experience reflects a more profound truth long known in traditional cultures: butter and ghee have been valued for their nourishing, healing properties. Though demonized in the 20th century, modern science is now redeeming butter, showing it can support heart, brain, and metabolic health, especially when sourced from pasture-raised animals. The story encourages a balanced, informed approach to nutrition that honors both tradition and science.
