Two major studies this week found a link between the foods most Americans eat — like hamburgers, pizza, breakfast cereal, ice cream, hot dogs, doughnuts, you name it — and an increased risk of early death.

New Study: Butter Protects Against Type-2 Diabetes?
Gimme all the butter. Especially the kind from grass-fed cows! I buy about 8 lbs of grass-fed butter a month for my little family of five, and that’s only because we’ve cut back our consumption of butter and started using more pasture-raised duck fat, bacon grease from heritage breed hogs, real olive oil, and coconut…
