Butter
Good

Butter is a dairy product made from churning cream, providing a rich source of saturated fats. When clarified into ghee, it removes milk solids, making it suitable for higher heat cooking and lactose-intolerant individuals. Grass-fed butter is particularly valued for its higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin K2.

Risks

Excessive consumption of saturated fats may contribute to cardiovascular issues in some individuals.

Benefits

Rich in fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K, and provides a source of butyrate, which supports gut health.
