  Longer life, more plant oils, and less butter? Increasing plant-based fats and decreasing butter consumption may help people live longer. Unfortunately for butter enthusiasts like me, a recent Harvard study that was published in JAMA Internal Medicine gave a strong push to the seesawing studies on whether butter is healthful or unhealthy.

Most crucially, people may live longer if they choose to use specific plant oils instead of butter. What differences between butter and plant oils did the study find? Based on the amount of butter and plant oils that individuals reported using on dietary questionnaires, the researchers split the part...
