Does butter cause heart and artery blockage?

Answer

According to the Ministry's statement, butter does not pose a serious health risk as long as it is not consumed to excess. The real risk lies in excessive consumption of fats and fatty products of every kind, which is associated with various cardiovascular diseases. The advice is not to cut butter out entirely but to consume it in moderation and to pay attention to an adequate, balanced diet. People with cardiovascular disease should plan their diet with their physician.
