Message: <blockquote data-quote="phoenix" data-source="post: 116167" data-attributes="member: 12578">From the Finnish  data:The national butter consumptionper capita has reduced from some 18 kg in 1965 to lessthan 3 kg in 2005That seems to work out at an original consumption of 3/4, lb per week which to me seems a very high amount.Now it's nearer 2ounces. It wasn't just the amount of  butter that  changed though. Over the period there  was also a big drop in smoking,  reduction in total fat with  polyunsaturated increased and sat fat reduced,  an increase in the consumption of fruit and veg and reduced salt intake.. all of which may well of contributed to the overall decrease in CVD.Personally, I agree with others about moderation. As for banning butter, personally I think it's verging on the ludicrous. Transfats from partially hydrogenated oils though  are a different matter, I don't know of anyone suggesting they have any health benefits.</blockquote>
