Prospective study of 500K+ 51-70 year olds.


Intakes of butter and margarine were associated with higher total mortality while intakes of canola oil and olive oil were related to lower total mortality. After multivariate adjustment for major risk factors, the HRs of cardiometabolic mortality for each 1-tablespoon/day increment were 1.08 (95% CI 1.05–1.10) for butter, 1.06 (1.05–1.08) for margarine, 0.99 (0.95–1.03) for corn oil, 0.98 (0.94–1.02) for canola oil, and 0.96 (0.92–0.99) for olive oil. Besides, butter consumption was positively associated with cancer mortality. Substituting corn oil, canola oil, or olive oil for equal amounts of butter and margarine was related to lower all-cause mortality and mortality from certain causes, including CVD, diabetes, cancer, respiratory disease, and Alzheimer’s disease.
 
Olive oil has been my preference for years I'm pleased to say.
Not that I use oil for much since being diagnosed initially.

Me also.
 
Serves her right for giving up smoking, she might have made 125.😉
 
I use olive oil when I’m cooking Italian, and for salad dressing, peanut oil or occasionally lard cooking Chinese (higher burn temperature for fast and hot stir frying) and rapeseed oil otherwise (neutral taste). I also use Sesame oil as a flavouring agent in Chinese cooking - you can’t use it for frying.

All with varying amounts of Creon to make sure none pass through me unaltered🙂
