Are you worried about healthy saturated fat?

Do you picture eating saturated fat and your arteries plugging up like the plumbing pipes from your kitchen sink?

Butter remains a solid when refrigerated, but softens to a spreadable consistency at room temperature, and melts to a thin liquid consistency at 90–95 °F.

Coconut oil becomes a liquid at a temperature right above 76 degrees.

Your body temperature if average is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit but may vary 1 degree up or down.

So your picture of saturated fat becoming solid and plugging your arteries like in your kitchen sink pipes is not based on solid science.

This myth that saturated fat is bad for you continues to be challenged as a steady stream of new books and studies on this topic hit the media.

One of the latest works to challenge this old myth is a book called The Big Fat Surprise by journalist Nina Teicholz.

Teicholz told the Wall Street Journal. “There has never been solid evidence for the idea that these fats cause disease.”

She continues. “We only believe this to be the case because nutrition policy has been derailed over the past half-century by a mixture of personal ambition, bad science, politics, and bias.”

That is not all, the cholesterol myth has suffered too with recent studies.

2012, researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology examined the health and lifestyle habits of more than 52,000 adults ages 20 to 74.

These researchers found that, if you’re a woman, your risk for heart disease, cardiac arrest, and stroke are higher with LOWER cholesterol levels.

What do these journalists and scientists know that your physician might not?

Going back forty years or more, fat has been misidentified as the culprit behind heart disease, when all along it’s been sugar.

Here is an alarming fact, about 800,000 Americans die from cardiovascular disease annually.

And what recent studies are showing is that by reducing your cholesterol, you may actually be increasing your risk for cardiovascular disease.

But just adding more fat into your diet is not going to help you lose weight or get healthy.

You need to remove what may be the source of your problems also.

If you were to put gas in your car along with water, your car would not perform well.

In fact, as you increase the water in the gas the less the car performs at its peak until it doesn’t run at all.

This may be the same with you. You can add fat to your diet, but if you continue to eat carbs, your body may not perform at its peak.

Listen we have eaten animal products for most of our existence on Earth.

To suggest that saturated fats are all of sudden harmful to you makes no sense.

As recently as 2010, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) called for reducing your saturated fat intake to a mere 10 percent of your total calories or less.

This is shocking, and quite the opposite of what you may require for optimal health!

Recent science coming out suggests healthy fats (saturated and unsaturated fats from organic whole food, animal, and plant sources should make up anywhere from 50 to 85 percent of your overall energy intake in your diet.
