Study finds butter raises blood cholesterol more than olive oil, research backfires on dairy foundation that funded study

The Danish Dairy Research Foundation funded in July a study about a popular breakfast spread, butter. However, the results of the study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, backfired against the foundation which likely hoped it could promote the lipid more. The Washington Post reports that butter raises blood cholesterol levels, even moderate levels. The better and healthier choice is olive oil.
