"We tend to take things to extremes."
Like recommending a stick of butter a day?

[@zhannapoltavets7162]

It is actually not that much

[@Punkinaise]

I think she was exaggerating

Have you seen how they make butter vs vegetable oil?
People have been eating butter for a long time.
It's full of nutrients.

And that was to help women coming off birth control pills to stabilise their hormones and cycles. She never said to do that forever.
