Is There Room for Butter in a Healthy Diet?

The aim of this study is to examine the effects in humans of a moderate butter intake on risk markers of cardiovascular disease compared to a diet with the same amount of olive oil (refined and therefore without polyfenols). The primary parameters are total cholesterol, LDL- and HDL cholesterol and triglycerides. The secondary parameters are risk markers of diabetes type 2; plasma glucose and insuling as well as the inflammatory marker hs-CRP.
