Why Do We Think We are Smarter Than Nature?

The Truth About Fats--Understanding Human Physiology

It's really best to not be around me when certain commercials or morning show segments come on TV. Its exhausting and frustrating to see what we are told by so many yet we continue to not only get more ill as a society, but are not even looking at human physiology.

Let's keep it very simple and as I say, use the lost art of common sense:

Since the early 1980's, we have continued to decrease our fat intake yet are more overweight than we have ever been.

We are told to take off the skin off the chicken because it's "bad" yet 70% of chicken fat is UNsaturated fat. ("Know Your Fats" by Dr. Sally Fallon)

We are told to stay away from saturated fat yet most fat structures (brain, nerve tissue, cell membranes and hormones) are composed of saturated fats. Guess what happens to those structures as you take away the building blocks?

Why do smokers increase the risk of arteriosclerosis? Is there fat in the cigarettes?

Saturated fat causes heart disease? NOPE. Check out this link below to read the research behind this.

Is anyone else confused? I too was told all of the opposite stuff growing up, yet once I began my own research and listened to the appropriate doctors and researchers, I began to question this.

We have to go back to the basics. Life and health is about balance. By eating real organic foods you will get the correct amount of BOTH saturated and unsaturated fats your body needs.
