Eat Saturated Fat?

[Guest guest]

Duncan, I'm a bit perplexed by this. I understand the reasoning, but it goes

against all warnings by cardiologists. Forgive me for asking but is this your

theory or are you a cardiologist? Also, what are the worst free

radical-producing

foods? Thanks, Lynne

was also wondering about the fats. at one time coconut oil was as

bad as it gets. Once we lived where no fresh dairy products was

available so to get milk the animal fat was removed and replaced by

coconut oil.

" Facts " in medicine are continually changing which makes it more

difficult for me to look past situations that I have seen. My mom

and dad lived on pork and with dad the fatter the better. He died

shortly before his 100 birthday and if he ever had problems because

of the fat I never knew it. Lipid tests were probably never done.

My mom loved " organ " meat as well as the fat pork. She died at 94

and I think that was due to poor medical care in an unrelated

problem. My son-in-law that I have mentioned before had none of the

things we watch out for, lipids, blood pressure, overweight,

inactivity, unhealthy life style and all such. His first heart

problem surfaced when he had a heart attack. Since then there have

been numerous surgeries.

So what do we know? sometimes I think " not much " .

Hi Lynne,

All one has to do is read the research like I have to get to the

truth of the saturated vs. unsaturated foods argument. This is not

theory at all and you don't have to the be a cardiologist to read the

information they and you have access to; it is on Medline, and I've

compiled some of it to my web page.

In a nutshell, the actual research says that people and other long-

lived mammals have more atherosclerosis and a shorter life span on

unsaturated fats than they do on saturated fats. Pure and simple. The

reason is they produce free radicals, thyroid-suppression, and

oxidative stress.

Normal cellular functions produce free radicals; the worst free-

radical producing foods are in the my view the polyunsaturated oils.

Second worst would be carbohydrates due to the insulin rise, a potent

free radical producer.

I'm sorry that you don't understand my posts and you can't read the

science. For those who can understand it, to respond to your comment

that the research might be bogus, here's just one of the studies from

Medline. It was not done by a supplement manufacturer.

Low fatty acid unsaturation: a mechanism for lowered lipoperoxidative

modification of tissue proteins in mammalian species with long life

spans.
