Saturated Fat
Butter, being 80-percent fat, is known to be high in saturated fat, which is linked to an increased risk of heart disease. One tablespoon of butter contains 7.2 grams of saturated fat, which is 36 percent of the recommended daily intake.
If opting to use butter, be sure to use it in small portions to add depth and flavor without overwhelming the food.
Food Allergies
Dairy can be linked to either a food allergy or a food intolerance in some people. While these may produce similar symptoms, they are not the same, per Harvard Health Publishing.
Both conditions may lead to feeling gassy, bloated, nauseous or experiencing diarrhea.
So then what's the difference? An allergy to dairy is the body's immune response to the protein found in cow's milk, which is the result of inadequate lactase, the enzyme that breaks down lactose (the natural sugar in cow's milk).
Other symptoms may include hives, cramps, wheezing, vomiting or a rash. An allergy to dairy may be life threatening depending on the severity of the allergic reaction. *
