My uncle who has a long career as a country physician1 sums up his view of milk products to adults as "health in every drop, and contagion in every liter".

The ideal milk product consumption for adults seem to be in the range of half a liter a day. You can safely add an order of magnitude to your butter consumption before it registers anywhere.

If we believe that unsaturated fats are bad, you should stay miles away from margarine. This is a waste fat that has been forced on an extra hydrogen link, so it is a solid at room temperature. The chemical process is hideous. The decay chain from margarine is even worse; especially when partially oxidised.

It is an extra unstable saturated fat. Tests show it is about the worst household compound you can enter into an oxygen-clean environment. It will spontaneously combust in pure oxygen at around 70 degrees C.

Then they take this stuff, add sugar and additives and emulsify it to make ice cream; thereby adding oxygen into the mix; and jump-start the decay chain.
