Butter

Good

Butter is a natural source of saturated fats and fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K. It is minimally processed and can be a part of a balanced diet when consumed in moderation. Grass-fed butter is particularly valued for its higher omega-3 fatty acids and CLA content.

Risks

Excessive consumption of butter can lead to increased cholesterol levels and heart disease risk due to its saturated fat content.

Benefits

Butter provides essential fat-soluble vitamins and can enhance the absorption of other nutrients. Grass-fed varieties offer additional health benefits due to higher omega-3 and CLA levels.
