Not really. The “science” that states that is also the science that has led to massive amounts of obesity, diabetes, and assorted ailments. Healthy fat (and butter is one of those) is extremely good for you. Sugars (and other simple carbs) are the problem, not fat. Believe modern nutritionists at your own peril.

Well I for one love real butter but my wife is always telling me not to use it saying its bad for me (she’s my household Obama local dictating what I can or cannot due...lol). I would sure like for it to be good for me...: )
“Sugars (and other simple carbs) are the problem, not fat.”
Agreed, so long as they are unadulterated fats. Those trans, and hydrogenated ones are downright scary, as are many of the various additives that are included in processed foods nowadays : o
Thanks, you’re right of course. The simple science of modern American weight gain: Sugars are transported throughout the body to feed the cells...including fat cells. The body is bombarded with sugars...like processed carbs everyone calls junk food. Those carbs give you hunger to eat more, because the cells don’t recognize the nutrition properly, and eventually the process itself changes and the body goes diabetic. This is called insulin resistance, and it has bad consequences.
Getting rid of processed cards and easy sugars will help return your body to normal. Getting rid of fat in diet really has no great effect on blood sugar levels. It is directly testable by any blood sugar meter.
Nutritionists concentrate on an aspect that is a symptom not a cause. Calories are interesting but are neutral on what causes unnatural hunger. Hunger causes overeating. Excess calories from overeating cause weight gain. If you don’t deal with the hunger, a diet will make you feel like you are starving, whatever the caloric intake. Diets don’t work because the feeling of starving sucks. Skinny dieticians that have not starved probably don’t get it. And obesity is worse than quitting smoking...you still have to eat.

Lost half my body weight through diet so I hope I have walked my talk.
