Butter, in all its delicious glory, generally gets a bad rap. That’s largely due to the fact that butter is high in saturated fat — a single tablespoon has 7 grams of saturated fat, or 35 percent of the USDA’s daily recommended amount — and saturated fat has been linked to high cholesterol and increased risk of cardiovascular problems.
Since the 1960s, health experts, nutritionists, and scientists have been alerting the general public of the dangers of consuming too much butter. And many diners (the French excluded) have been running as far away from it as they can, using oils, spreads, and alterna-butters instead.
But new findings may change how we perceive this ingredient.
