Butter Consumption Linked To Reduced Diabetes Risk.

reports that butter “is a ‘middle-of-the-road’ food, nutritionally speaking – better than sugar, worse than olive oil – according to a new report, which adds to a growing body of research showing that the low-fat-diet trend was misguided.” Investigators analyzed data from nine studies “that included more than 600,000 people.” STAT (6/29, Wessel) reports that the investigators found “a small link between butter and overall mortality – each daily tablespoon of butter was linked to a 1 percent increase in mortality risk.” However, “the same amount of butter was associated with a 4 percent lower risk of diabetes.” http://time.com/4386248/fat-butter-nutrition-health/
