Dairy FAT - GOOD or BAD?

Info that makes it BAD

Info that makes it GOOD

Some researchers question whether dietary sat fat clogs up the arteries. Some countries like Tibetan cultures have dairy as part of their staple diet - but they don't die of heart disease!

The Verdict

Eat butter and animal fat in small quantities, and use olive oil as your main cooking oil. Aim to get fats and oils from lots of plant sources.
