For decades weve been told that SATURATED FAT is bad for you, as it leads to heart disease. This is completely NOT TRUE!!! This claim was started by the food companies post WWII in order to market and sell tainted vegetable oils and margarine. Unfortunately, this claim has infiltrated almost every household in America, yet were sicker as a society than weve ever been. In fact, 74% of the fatty acids in the cholesterol esters blocking ones arteries is UNSATURATED, not saturated. In actuality, polyunsaturated fatty acids, like those found in oils when chemically extracted from vegetables, are much less stable than saturates, and are more likely to convert to trans fats in the body since the antioxidants native to the plant have been stripped during that extraction process. Tip: Dont fear saturated fats. The saturated fat from organic meats that are fed what theyre inherently supposed to eat, are essential for optimal health, healing the body, aiding in the production of hormones, improving brain health, etc. Damian, e3ee Chief Food Science Guy & Diagnostic Nutritionist BS.
