(cr support group) macro nutrients, sat fats

[Guest guest]

Which studies are these? And what are the beneficial aspects?

to be honest I have not yet seen a study that is in any way

conclusive that proves saturated fat = problem with heart or heart

health, just read the book by Ravnskov and apply his techniques to

the original papers which are supposed to show sat fats are bad and

you find that these studies are just statistical manipulations,

there is just no hard evidence against sat fats. But the fact that

poly fats make up over 50% of CHD patients heat arteries does make

me suspicious of them. I havent got the pub med references but

recently was looking through a few that tested specific sat fats on

cholersterol levels and found no ill-effects.

as to benefits of sats fats, you know what I am going to say, most

people reading this do (coconut fat, congulated lino acids, its all

been wriiten in this forum before) and the references can be found

in the vaious papers at mercola.com and weston A Price foundation

and the cholestrol sceptics etc. And although you may not be keen on

these people/organizations, the fact is that doctors like mercola

cannot preach high fat/protein/cholestrol and get away with it long

if their patients are dying, and they find high sat fats does not do

much, if anthing, to cholest levels and the make up of that

cholesterol. People are also trying in studies to trip the atkins

dieters up on the fats side, but again they are having no success,

the tide is turning (though atkins is not my idea of a good aproach,

carbs are still important, especially veg).
