JD - Excellent missive, butyrate and its producing specie are highly underrated.

Well, you could get more of the microbes in your gut that create Butyrate, or you could get the Butyrate from animals that have these microbes in their gut and then just eat the butter they produce in their milk. The taste of butter is the taste of Butyrate. I like butter, I learned I do from putting a buttercup under my chin when I was a kid.

Butyrate is added to margarine to give it flavor of butter too. Butyric acid is formed after you eat butter and it gets hit by digestive enzymes or sometimes forms when butter gets rancid a certain way. Butyric acid doesn't taste good when thrown up.
