Is butter bad for you?
Live MintButter is having a moment. The authors found that, after controlling for other aspects of demographics, diet and lifestyle, those people who ate the most butter had a 15% increased risk of mortality compared with those who avoided the stuff. By contrast, people who consumed the most plant-based oils, such as canola, soyabean or olive oil—all of which have low levels of saturated fat—had a 16% lower mortality rate than those who consumed the least. And, though the study could not show that butter increased the risk of dying from cardiovascular diseases, consuming more plant-based oils did lower that particular risk. The authors found that replacing ten grams of butter daily with the same amount of plant-based oil appeared to reduce the cancer mortality risk by 17%.
