I started to use high smoke point oil some years ago, mostly for stir fry but other things too. I since read how cholesterol might help with testosterone I started to use butter more often when I could. In the past two months I've been trying to gain weight and started to drink full fat grassfed organic milk, use salted grassfed butter when applicable, and have full fat greek yogurt every day. I won't always drink the whole milk, maybe a month more or so.
I'm not in some anti oil camp, but so many of these new oils kind of hit the American market in waves of fads over the years and have not been consumed by humans for all that long. Although many of them have some nice stats like low cal, high smoke point, neutral flavor ect, none of them have been time tested like lard, butter, olive oil ect, and some of the processing is insane. I started to become suspicious.
I've been reading about ghee but never tried it. I like that it has a high smoke point and even comes in non-arisol spray form. I ordered some grassfed hormone free American made Ghee from American cows.

I use Kerrygold butter. The color is a nice deep yellow. I have no complaints but I want to try other butters. I saw video Amish butter in PA and it was a very deep yellow and said to taste a bit gamey. I bet it was healthy though. Also, since using butter a lot more, even though it's higher cal, it makes the foods rich in a pleasant way that does not cause you to overconsume.
