My friends I am just delivering the news and you must consider the facts for yourself. I try to stay abreast of current health news, which is one of the most important things in my life.(heal thy self first) I do not understand our trust in the Government when it come to food, but distrust in everything else, The FDA is a part of the Government. Maybe it's just me? Do I need to be hit with a brick? Most of us are not old enough to have had real food or we were not given the chance to have had real food. Now we must trust that what ever they (The manufacture) tell us that is real. Trust the AMA and Drug Companies, that have your interest in mind because they care about you and not your money.
Remember that a capitalist is a person who has capital, they invested in business, a person of wealth, and a person who favors capitalism. I believe in capitalism but I am without the wealth and please think before you trust me. Let me earn your trust. I trust the Information from my sources. I do not believe that profit and health can exist in most cases. Please read the comments below. Some of my clients get their own information from Dr. Mercola but not all. Avoid the accident and hopefully you will not need the doctor. Learn about real food and health.
Dr. Mercola's Comments:
A misguided fallacy that persists to this day is the belief that saturated fat will increase your risk of heart disease and heart attacks. This is simply another myth that has been harming your health for the last 30 or 40 years. The truth is, saturated fats from animal and vegetable sources provide a concentrated source of energy in your diet, and they provide the building blocks for cell membranes and a variety of hormones and hormone-like substances.
When you eat saturated fats as part of your meal, they slow down absorption so that you can go longer without feeling hungry. In addition, they act as carriers for important fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. Dietary fats are also needed for the conversion of carotene to vitamin A, for mineral absorption, and for a host of other biological processes.
Saturated fats are also:
* The preferred fuel for your heart, and also used as a source of fuel during energy expenditure
* Useful antiviral agents (caprylic acid)
* Effective as an anticaries, antiplaque and anti-fungal agent (lauric acid)
* Useful to actually lower cholesterol levels (palmitic and stearic acids)
* Modulators of genetic regulation and prevent cancer (butyric acid)
If the fact that saturated fats are actually good for you sounds conflicting, at least in terms of what is repeated by public health agencies, I urge you to read Mary Enig and Sally Fallon's classic article The Truth About Saturated Fats <http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2002/08/17/saturated-fat 1.aspx> .
It is one of the best and most thorough introductions to this topic, and you can read through it in just a few minutes.
Have You Heard of the Lipid Hypothesis?
If not by name, you've certainly heard of the concept behind the "lipid hypothesis <http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2007/10/25/diet-and-fat- a-severe-case-of-mistaken-consensus.aspx> ," and that is that dietary fat causes heart disease. continued>>
