I hate it when I read “Studies now show-——” .Time to look for an agenda.
This doesn’t mean I question the stand on butter, tho. I’ve been eating butter for years. Look at the label— very few ingredients, as compared to the list under margarines.

What I check:
0. Find the fulltext, and not some dunce’s misreading of it.
1. Is it just an analysis, or a new trial?
2. Is it a trial on humans, or rodents?
3. Who funded it?
4. What else have the researchers been on about?
5. If a real trial, what was the reference (control) diet?
6. What was the placebo? (often amazingly NON-inert)
This is the sad reality of what passes for nutrition science over the last half century.
Here’s another “emperor has no clothes” article just lately published (and only 40 years overdue):
“Nutrition Revolution—The End of the High Carbohydrates Era for Diabetes Prevention and Management”
