A 2015 study concluded that "[[cholesterol|hypercholesterolemic]] people should keep their consumption of butter to a minimum, whereas moderate butter intake may be considered part of the diet in the normocholesterolemic population."<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Engel |first1=S |last2=Tholstrup |first2=T |title=Butter increased total and LDL cholesterol compared with olive oil but resulted in higher HDL cholesterol compared with a habitual diet. |journal=The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition |date=August 2015 |volume=102 |issue=2 |pages=309–15 |doi=10.3945/ajcn.115.112227 |pmid=26135349|doi-access=free }}</ref>

A meta-analysis and systematic review published in 2016 found relatively small or insignificant overall associations of a dose of 14g/day of butter with mortality and cardiovascular disease, and consumption was insignificantly inversely associated with incidence of diabetes. The study states that "findings do not support a need for major emphasis in dietary guidelines on either increasing or decreasing butter consumption."<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Pimpin|first1=Laura|last2=Wu|first2=Jason H.
