00:00What if one small change to your diet could help you live longer?
00:03Scientists say it can.
00:05A groundbreaking study from Harvard Medical School
00:07tracked over 22,000 people for 50 years.
00:11And what they found?
00:12Shocking.
00:14People who ate the most butter were 15% more likely to die early.
00:18But those who swapped butter for plant oils?
00:20They slashed their risk of death by almost 20%.
00:23Just one pat of butter a day increased cancer death risk by 12%.
00:27But switching to seed oils like olive, corn, or rapeseed oil cut cancer risk by 11%.
00:33And lowered heart disease risk, too.
00:35This tiny switch isn't just about living longer.
00:38It's about dying less from the biggest killers, cancer and heart disease.
00:43Experts now warn.
00:44Butter is high in saturated fat and even small trans fats,
00:48while plant oils are full of unsaturated fats that protect your heart.
00:51Yes, seed oils like sunflower and flaxseed have faced criticism.
00:55But new science shows their omega-6 fatty acids may actually help fight disease,
01:00not fuel it.
01:02The takeaway?
01:03Swap that butter.
01:04A simple change could save your life.
