The butter industry contracted for a study about butter. The butter industry thought it would result in positive news about butter. But that's not what happened. Instead, the study showed that butter raises blood cholesterol levels.
How ironic, right?
That article led me to the original source: Food Politics.
Marion Nestle exposes similar studies that are funded by certain sponsors.
This news puts every food study in the headlines into question.
When reading any food study, you have to see who funded the study first.
Results will vary... depending on who is footing the bill for the study.
It wasn't too long ago that studies were telling us that butter was good for us... now, I'm going back to olive oil.
