The Last Tango With Butter

Last Tango with Butter aims to help people find their way back to a healthy relationship with fat.

Dispelling the myths around this precious source of nutrition over the last 50 years, The Last Tango is a pragmatic, concise overview of what the fats we eat mean for our health, and sheds light on the essential role played by all the fats nature provides – including those long seen as enemies of good health.

Eating butter, lard, tallow and coconut is essential for optimum health and the “Last Tango,” explains the details.
