But what about fat raising insulin response, which it can do. Certainly what happened in this person is beneficial to overall health, but isn't the other aspect a potential for problems in some people?

I'm not diabetic by any measure, and have for years eaten very little carb for other health reasons, but I get pronounced insulin response from fat. I've also read comments about this conundrum on other low-carb sites.

What is the source of the fat that is giving you a pronounced insulin response. If it is dairy then that may explain the rise in insulin. Dairy can stimulate insulin similar to white bread.

Just fat dear. Your body doesn't separate it into categories.

That article is about butter, and butter is not just fat.

The conclusion of the article is 'much ado about nothing'. Not surprising since the test subjects (only 14) also ate bread and pasta along with the butter.
