Why Diets Disagree on Butter
Carnivore classifies butter as Allowed because it evaluates foods by whether the food comes from an animal. AIP, on the other hand, classifies it as Not Allowed because it evaluates by whether the food contains compounds AIP suspects of provoking immune activity. Different diets use different evaluation criteria, which is why the same food can receive opposite classifications. 4 diets classify butter as Limited — meaning it fits under specific conditions like portion size, preparation method, or brand selection.
