InterestModerate interest
The posts demonstrate moderate curiosity, with some sharing detailed comments, referencing other studies, or discussing dietary implications.
EngagementModerate engagement
Several users delve into methodological critiques, cite additional evidence, or share personal experiences, indicating active and thoughtful engagement.
ImpactModerate impact

Abstract in brief
This review analyzed data from 9 studies involving over 636,000 participants across multiple countries to assess how butter consumption relates to the risks of death, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, finding only a weak link with all-cause mortality.
The research methods involved systematically searching multiple databases for prospective studies and randomized trials, evaluating the quality of these studies, and using meta-analysis techniques to combine results while checking for heterogeneity and bias.
Overall, the findings suggest that the evidence on butter's impact on cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and mortality is unclear or weak, with no strong evidence indicating significant risk or benefit associated with butter intake.

@andre_arag @TendieRanch @Mangan150 I looked it up. It's neutral and inconclusive. Take a look at the confidence intervals and you'll see that the results were inconclusive due to including the null value. The only reading that was somewhat significant was an inverse of diabetes.

Butter is my fav food. 3-4 times a week, I'll use ~80-100 grams in my bullet proof-coffee and use butter to cook 3-4 eggs, esp. on my badminton days.
15 countries, 6.5 million person-year follow-up study: butter has cardioprotective effects.
https://t.co/9qqFMXEZXj
I almost always drink a large cup of “Shuttle-proof” (with 60g of butter, =bullet proof coffee) coffee before my badminton games in past 8-10 years or so. My endurance is as good as those 20 years younger than me. https://t.co/9qqFMXEZXj

This systematic review found a small/neutral association with fat and cardiovascular disease or coronary heart disease. In fact, it actually suggests that there may be cardio-metabolic benefits with dairy fat. #biom4180 #butter #fat #milk #cheese #yogurt
