This week, the “butter’s back” crowd gets rebuffed, new research gives unsaturated fats additional props, Americans and nutritionists differ on what’s healthy, and more top stories on food science and healthy eating. And don’t miss the quiz!
1) Butter’s back? Well, maybe not so fast. Harvard’s Nutrition Source says no way! And then says it again: “We Repeat: Butter Is Not Back” reads the headline of their recent article, in which they explain what the meta-analysis really suggests — quoting the study’s senior author: ““overall, our results suggest that butter should neither be demonized nor considered ‘back’ as a route to good health.”

2) And we’re not done with fats. A study links “good” fats — like olive oil and other unsaturated fats — with a likelihood for living a longer, healthier life.
