It seems to me I read somewhere that butter is quite a healthy food, and
doesn't contain any lactose, so even though it is made from cream, it is to
be considered more an animal fat than a dairy product. That way I could use
butter sometimes instead of olive oil. Can someone enlighten me further on
this issue? I am being rather a stickler on this, because I am trying to
completely cut out every single shred of flour (grains) and dairy from my
diet. It seems to be leading to healthier digestion and I don't want to start
cheating inadvertently. I can't tell anything by "trying some butter" because
the effects seem to be cumulative and delayed. Butter wouldn't be strictly
Paleo, but I am more interested in my health than in philosophical
correctness.

Thanks,
