Another look at butter: Not as healthy as olive oil, but better than sugar - The Washington Post
"Researchers found that eating it didn’t seem to have a cardiovascular effect."

DietID_TeamDietitians 8yr cc @akhilg2002 butter > sugar -
garv 8yr I guess the often used phrase , 'moderation is key' still seems the best bet. Be it butter or sugar ...

IEatWell 8yr Totally agree @garv. Everything in moderation. I've read too many conflicting studies about what's better - this or that. And the answer usually is - nothing is good in excess. -
JenniferEmilson 8yr I'll take butter (grass fed) any day!! And yes to @garv Moderation is always the safest route!! -
Arash 8yr @garv @IEatWell what's your definition of "moderation"? Once a week? Twice a week? Three times a week? Five times? How do you define moderation? "Based on the study findings, they described butter as a “middle of the road” food — healthier than sugars and starches, less healthy than such alternatives as soybean, canola or olive oil." This wapo article misquotes the actual study, which refers to REFINED grains and sugars as being harmful, it did not refer to "starches" as a whole category. Also, olive oil is not a health food, it is a refined food and it contributes to obesity and clogging of arteries - mediterranean people such as the greeks and egyptians are amongst the fattest in the world. The healthiest, longest lived populations in the world, such as East Asians, thrive on diets centered around starches, including rice, potatoes and other root vegetables. Butter is not "back" - Darius Mozzafarrian is a known low-carber - I'd take everything he says with a grain of salt. If you want to eat butter, eat butter, just don't pretend that it's somehow healthy, because it's not. "Low carb" diets are incredibly unhealthy, they are inherently deficient in fiber and many phytonutrients.

garv 8yr @Arash difficult to quantify especially due to hidden consumption. The idea is you should know what's right for your body & when you are taking it too far...
Stopped for lunch at Brooklyn Cider House near New Paltz. Beautiful spot.
