I had to smile when I saw the headline in buttery yellow on the cover of the June 12 Time magazine. “Eat Butter,” it flatly stated. The sub-headline was even better for dairy: “Scientists labeled fat the enemy. Why they were wrong.”
Focusing on saturated fats, the article highlighted scientific research that challenges associations between saturated fat and heart disease risk. Specific to dairy, the article referenced recent research in which the saturated fats in dairy may have a protective role in relation to heart disease compared to other sources of saturated fat.
