Scientists say 'no evidence to prove butter bad for health'

Washington, Feb 10 : Enjoy your morning bread toasts spread with butter without any guilt as scientists have now claimed that the belief that butter, full-fat milk and cheese are bad for us are wrong.

Guidelines, which were issued back in the 1980s in Britain and the US, claiming that saturated fats could lead to coronary heart disease, have swayed us from avoiding other unhealthy choices, and the experts have now found there was no solid evidence to back this up and it "should not have been introduced", the Mirror reported.

The study said that "It seems incomprehensible that dietary advice was introduced for 220 million Americans and 56 million UK citizens, given the contrary results from a small number of unhealthy men."

Forex kitty high, but may not cushion extreme volatility: RBI

Mumbai: RBI Deputy Governor H R Khan on Tuesday said though the country's forex kitty was at an all time high of USD 330 billion, there should be no complacency as no amount of reserves may be enough to fight extreme volatility.

"Foreign currency reserves have improved. Right now we're at USD 330 billion, highest ever. But there is also a view that no amount of foreign exchange reserves can cushion when there is extreme volatility or external shocks," Khan said, days after weekly data showed an over USD 6 billion jump in forex to an all-time high.

"We are much better placed. In terms of fool proofing our balance sheet we have done quite a few things," Khan said, referring to the jump in reserves.
