Have you ever whipped cream just a bit too long? Ever turned your back on the mixer (probably to send a text message, knowing you) while whipping cream only to see the cream solidify? You just made butter.
You buy Land-o-Lakes butter at Kroger, right? Pretty good stuff. A move up from the colored whipped partially hydrogenated vegetable oil (i.e., flavored Crisco) you ate in college. Butter is made from cream, which comes from the milk of dairy cows. So far, so good.
What sort of drugs were those cows treated with? Antibiotics get into the bloodstream of cows, and thereby into the milk. Low-level antibiotic exposure can result in the build-up of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in humans.
