Thank you for a wonderful presentation - are questions welcome?

Presuming yes, Q:
1). WHICH fat was used in your SFD mice chow, please? (never mentioned)
2) Why was olive oil not represented, was it not used in diets?
3) Is a higher fat diet in a normal/low normal (65yrs) human predisposing to ?? which negative health outcomes as pertains to your mouse model studies?

I am obviously a lay-person, and do not understand how to read your graphs sufficiently to address the human impacts.

Thank you for the generous sharing of attributions within your presentation - your very kind demeanor also much appreciated. Brilliance And humanism, lovely combo.

Specifically, what type of butter/quality was used? I would love to see a butter vs butter face off. 100% Grass fed, organic butter vs. the cheapest butter available in the supermarket. Bet you'd get different tumor growth results.

Additional question: If your premise is that animal fat contributes to cancer, why did you use butter that contains lactose and casein? You should definitely have used Ghee or a proper extract of butter because the additional components in butter are a fair criticism against your claim.
