DLM-SF: Butter (2021)

Intervention
In adults with or without cardiovascular disease, what is the association between butter intake and all-cause mortality?
- Conclusion
  In adults with or without cardiovascular disease, a higher intake of butter compared to a lower intake of butter may not be associated with all-cause mortality.
- Grade: Low (C)
  - Grade I means there is Good/Strong evidence supporting the statement;
  - Grade II is Fair;
  - Grade III is Limited/Weak;
  - Grade IV is Expert Opinion Only;
  - Grade V is Not Assignable.
  - High (A) means we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect;
  - Moderate (B) means we are moderately confident in the effect estimate;
  - Low (C) means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited;
  - Very Low (D) means we have very little confidence in the effect estimate.
