A recent study published in JAMA Internal Medicine suggests that replacing butter with plant-based oils can improve health and lower mortality risk. The study tracked 221,000 middle-aged or older individuals in the US for up to 33 years, revealing that those who consumed the most butter had a 15% higher risk of death, while those who used plant-based oils had a 16% lower risk. Notably, olive, soybean, and canola oils were linked to better health outcomes, while corn and safflower oils showed no benefits. Critics of seed oils argue they contribute to chronic diseases, but the study emphasizes the health advantages of unsaturated fats over saturated fats found in butter. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
