Butter: Could it be worse than plant based oils for your health? 🧈

Hi everyone, how are you doing lately? 😊

A new study suggests that butter may increase the risk of early death, while plant-based oils could offer health benefits. Researchers tracked over 221,000 people for more than 30 years and found:

• People who ate the most butter had a 15% higher risk of death than those who ate the least.
  
• Those who consumed the most plant-based oils had a 16% lower risk of death.
  
• Replacing butter with plant-based oils was linked to a 17% lower risk of death.
  

However, not all plant-based oils are equal, olive oil, soybean oil, and canola oil showed benefits, while corn and safflower oils did not. If you're wondering which oils are best for your health, here’s an article that breaks it down for you:

Do you use butter regularly, or have you switched to plant-based oils?
