Health benefits of replacing butter with high-quality plant oils

First, a Mediterranean diet includes olive oil, which is monounsaturated fats, not simply unsaturated fats (PUFAs are a poison in any amount)! And why ignore the fact that lard, for example, is half monounsaturated? Oh, well, because it's animal fat and vegans don't like giving credit to anything animal-based.
"They found the product, a key component of the cure-all Mediterranean diet, reduced brain inflammation and activated a process known as autophagy, where cells flush out damaging debris" http://www.express.co.uk/life-style/health/819819/Extra-virg...
Make peace with death. It's comin' to getcha!
Autophagy is a bad strategy and reduces lifespan, as human cells (unless they are cancerous) do not divide infinitely. So, the idea is to prevent cells from becoming senescent, i.e., keep mitochondria healthy, and not consume too many PUFAs, which desaturate cardiolipin.
TL;DR as well as hot-ish take: whether your diet is healthy or not doesn't actually depend that much on the quality of your baking fats. Oil, butter, margarine, whatever: it's more about quantity than quality.
And of course, truly bad products will damage your health (so, yeah, glycol-infused oil is way worse than any butter, and vice versa), but otherwise: just use what the recipe says, and enjoy in moderation...
