It Appears We Were Lied To About Saturated Fats

On the other hand there has been abundant evidence for years that trans fats are highly destructive to the body, linked to heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease.

From what I have heard, MCTs are saturated AND TRANS! And THEY are supposed to be good and lead to fat LOSS! They're also LOW CALORIE! 7calories per gram! Fats generally have 9calories to the gram!

Yes, the whole "low fat" and "fat free" craze was either based on ignorance or deception. Also, there's a difference between trans fats and saturated fats. No one argues that trans fats are bad.

The whole deal whether saturated or carbs or whatever is about MODERATION.

TOO MUCH SATURATED FAT WILL KILL YOU -

too much of anything is bad

not enough of something is sometimes bad for you too

so again - balance and moderation.

With that said, WHOLE foods and NATURAL foods are best. The place where things that are good become things that are bad is often in the PROCESSING from insecticides to hormones or too much sugar/salt added, or heat processes that kill all the nutritional value.

One guy on TV recently said - "if it has a label don't eat it". LOL.

I have never eaten a low fat product in my life. Cells have a coating of fat around them and if they don't get it, you are screwed. Lack of fat is giving the medical community a LOT of money. Of course, most people get too few Omega's, too.

It's really hard to judge by what is publicized, what will effect your health negatively and what won't. Research gets crunched and altered by companies with money at stake - and what finally is released is what doctor's get, so until enough doctors get suspicious and start looking into things, we are screwed. Look at that whole "sunscreen" BS. Now you have people religious about sunscreen, and vitamin D deficiency is crippling and killing people left and right. Another one - the fluoride scam. Magnesium/calcium fluoride is good for you in extreme small doses, and is natural in some water sources - the stuff they dump and expect us to drink is toxic wastes from industry and is dead poison in any amount. But someone left that out of the doctor and dentists training. Now that it has become known, it's still being hard as hell to get cities to stop poisoning, so people are paying for their own destruction.

It is all about the money. And that is sick crap. People wonder where all the "get rich quick at any expense" marketers come from? From a society that is led by those who will kill to be rich. Literally.

Now the new one is talk of forced medical testing "volunteering". Nice world eh?

Another thing that is forced upon us is vaccination. Not just the flu vaccination, which now they're trying to force people to flu vaccinate until May because they have too much supply and not enough demand as people that didn't get vaccinated from last year's shortage are realizing they don't need a flu vaccine in addition to the ultra mild winter we're having.

The other vaccination is the Gardicil (sp?) for HPV. They're trying to force not just teen girls, but teen boys to get the vaccination likes it's a crime if you don't. Parents have been threatened with removing their children for neglect if they don't comply.

Then there's the whole scandal, or controversy really, about kids being forced to eat what they think is correct instead of what their parents pack like that girl that was forced to eat the chicken nuggets in the Carolinas I think.

It's gone beyond just mere intentional misinformation and scare tactics to now forcibly mandating what the government thinks is best for us without our approval or not based on faulty, biased science like the FDA often uses to push through pharmaceuticals or just ignorance. It's getting to be pretty scary actually.

The Chinese call unboiled water "idiot water" (sha gua shui 傻瓜水). I didn't take that expression seriously until this news item came out:
Boil water emergency hits 40,000 in Prince Albert - Saskatchewan - CBC News

Alexa - you might have missed a crucial point I made about fluoride. What they are putting in our water is NOT natural fluoride, such as fluoride in mother's milk. It is sodium fluoride, and even the water quality reports that are mandatory that consumers get will state that the source is industrial waste. Sodium fluoride is poisonous in all amounts - magnesium/calcium fluorides are natural and your body needs traces of it - not a lot but traces. And - I have no problem with someone else belting it down if they want it - but I should not be forced to drink it - especially as pointed out above - if I'm paying for water, if I don't want it.

Thom - check that on your next water report - or your water company's website. Doesn't it make you sick that one county over from you, they don't fluoridate the water any more?

Apparently cows milk isnt good for us either. It does contain calcium but it actually never gets to be absorbed by our body and worse yet it depletes calcium from our body.

I've heard almond milk is better for us.

Certain low sugar vegetables is a better source of calcium it seems.

Tony robbins actually promotes all this and the idea is to eat alkaline based foods instead of acid based foods (sugar turns acidic once in our body).

Things like coffee, booze, alcohol, cigarettes, sugary foods, certain fruits etc are all acidic to our bodies, and we need to netrualise the ratio by eating alkaline foods.

Lemons, wheet grass and other foods are high in alkaline if you're wondering. (lemons are acidic but once in our bodies turn to alkaline)

Who knows, but I guess if we keep eating like most people do we are going to be one of the 1 in 3 that develop cancer, so perhaps a diet that is really different and sounds crazy is the way to go.

Where was this study conducted again...McDonald's University?

There's been a lot of new information coming out about fluoride recently.

It has been many years since I drank tap water at all anywhere - I was buying 'Spring' water etc although I did use tap water in cooking - figured boiling would help with something.

The water here tastes just absolutely horrible. I have no idea why but it is worse than just a chemical taste. So I started using Britta Filters and have the pitcher dispenser with filters - (I got guilted out on all the plastic bottles I am causing to be in the dumps from buying water)

Here is what the Britta certification says

REDUCES the following harmful contaminants that may be in your tap water:

copper, (short term: gastrointestinal distress, long term: liver or kidney damage)

mercury (kidney damage)

cadmium (kidney damage)

chlorine (taste and odor) and Zinc (metallic taste)

KEEPS: A "healthy level" of fluoride a water additive that promotes strong teeth (applies to fluoridated municipal water)

hmmmm - should i go back to 'mountain spring water'?

High cholesterol in your blood is bad, not high intake of cholesterol. And oddly as it might sound, there's little to no relation between the two.
The amount of cholesterol in your blood depends more on your overall body-fat percentage, which increases more from the high amounts of carbs we intake nowadays than it does from fats.
The way our bodies got designed through evolution, all the carbs our ancestors got were from fruits and nuts. Evolution didn't have a plan for modern bakeries .
