The problem is that the food industry has been pumping money into research while governments have withdrawn most of it.
The whole "butter is good" article in the times was funded by the US dairy industry.
Gov funded research still does not agree with it.

- mistermann 11y agoI'm of the belief that butter is good (or at least, not bad).
