Friday Favorites: Is Butter Really Back? What the Science Says

Is butter—and other saturated fats—bad for you or not?

This is the second time I’ve addressed the obfuscation surrounding saturated fat. It’s actually part of an industry-wide scheme. Check out:
• The Saturated Fat Studies: Set Up to Fail (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-...)
• The Saturated Fat Studies: Buttering Up the Public (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-...)

It reminds me of my series on cheese:
• Is Cheese Really Bad for You? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-ch...)
• Is Cheese Healthy? Compared to What? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-ch...)
• How the Dairy Industry Designs Misleading Studies (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-t...)

What about plant-based sources of saturated fat? See Coconut Oil & the Boost in HDL “Good” Cholesterol (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/coco...) and What About Coconuts, Coconut Milk, & Coconut Oil MCTs (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/what...
