I appreciate your concern, and your moral obligation to try and tell people. I do not mean to be rude to you, but your understanding is outdated and wrong. Saturated fats are actually good for you as these fats are required for a healthy metabolism and endocrine system. They also comprise a good portion of your cell membrane. Saturated fats and cholesterol do not clog your arteries. We initially thought that because it was present in atherosclerosis, but it turns out we were blaming the responders to the crime scene, and not the actual cause: inflammation brought on by high carbohydrate diets. Note: if you read further into this, big food companies were also involved in influencing the negative stance on fats by our politicians back in the 50s, helping create our current obesity epidemic. I'm on mobile, but will link to current research when I remember. Also, source: I do research at a medical research university in the div of cardiology/endocrinology. |
