What to know about butter

Butter is a dairy food, so it is flagged high for lactose, but the real amount is small: it is almost pure milk fat with only a little milk sugar and protein left in it. That is why many people who react to milk or cream still tolerate butter, and why clarified butter (ghee) removes almost all of what remains. The steadier concerns are the traces of casein and whey it keeps and the fact that, as a saturated animal fat, it is graded pro-inflammatory.

Watch for

  • Flagged high for lactose as a dairy food, though it is mostly fat and holds only a little milk sugar, which is why it is often tolerated when milk is not
  • Still contains casein and whey traces, enough to bother a strict dairy or milk-protein avoider
  • Graded pro-inflammatory and not Mediterranean, paleo or vegan friendly, being a saturated animal fat
