Canola oil consumption is associated with same the human health outcomes as olive oil.

Despite what you hear on social media, "seed oils" and margarine (which doesn't have trans fats anymore) are still preferable to butter.

People who really want butter and other foods to be good for them tend to have a blind spot where if they convince themselves that X is bad, then butter is good because it's not X. And because of this, they weaken their epistemic standard when it comes to proving that X is bad, often satisfied with story-telling about how it must be bad, because it's connected to their belief that not-X is good. Just something I've noticed in the seed oils social media fad.
