Is unsalted better than salted in terms of grass-fed butter? I've always wondered that, as I've heard many dialed-in doctors claim the demonization of salt has been far overplayed

I would agree. I am assuming I get plenty of salt anyway, so I shouldn't need it added to my butter. part of that assumption is because I eat shellfish often, and other ocean fish, which either contains salt or is preserved in brine. I also still eat salami, pepperoni, even jerky as snacks, which have added salt.
salt intake makes you retain water, as I understand it, and since I am drinking plenty of water, I'd rather not retain it.
All that said, I dont think I would spend a lot of extra effort ensuring my butter is unsalted.
consuming a lot less salt will also mean the salinity of your sweat goes way down, since your body doesn't have the excess salt ti expel.. I've also noticed a big decrease in body odor, and I think that is partially because of a lot less salts in my sweat.
