Saturated fats - the myth

Results of a study of 218,000 people undertaken by McMaster University in Canada confirms that advice to avoid saturated fats are just plain wrong. Eating red meat and cheese are shown to be actually beneficial to cardiovascular health. Refined carbohydrates are shown to be the foods to avoid.

Like I always say, "Next they'll be telling us that breathing air is a health hazard."

There was a recent report in the news (also based on a scientific study), that cutting down on carbohydrates shortened life span! See here:

Actually, the results of both studies are not mutually exclusive. Both conclude that a balanced diet is best, and that refined (white) carbs should be replaced by complex whole grains, beans and pulses. Combine the two studies and you actually get a sensible diet!

In some parts of the world it is!

I'm sure there is a study somewhere that says carcinogens are healthy.

In any of these "Studies" , just follow the money back to who funded the study and you'll have the answer as to whom the study is slanted to. Money will always control the direction of the findings and most likely it will sway in the direction of the "product" the funders are pushing. Whether it be a direct promotion or a condemning of another product.

I don't hope what mentioned above is fact...

How much is too much and what’s not enough? And, if you are going to eat fat, what meals are best? Because, you’ve likely observed, not all body fat are equivalent.

Let’s execute through some of values, and thoughts, and ways of thinking around fat, all while knowing one main point here. Not all body fat are not bad.But, the kind of fat and how much fat you eat MATTERS

I''ll list you some myths..


Myth 1: No form of dietary fat is Ok to eat
Myth 2: Fat-Free Foods are a smart snack choice
Myth 3: Eating too much fat will make you fat.
Myth 4: Eating fat will increase your risk of heart disease
Myth 5: So you’ve actually bought into the ‘fat-is-good’ craze but now you’re pushing the other end of the spectrum. How much fat is too much?

Don't believe anything you hear or read and only half of what you see. This has worked for me.
