Swank. However I am familiar with the huge amount of contradictive information out there. I can show you study after study by reasonably reputable people who clearly demonstrate that the next time you eat a pat of butter you will instantly die on the spot and if your not careful your arteries will explode so violently that if your spouse is too close he will be injured or worse. I can show you the same number of studies that clearly demonstrate exactly the opposite and your quandy is the same one every honest person who does their homework faces at one time or another. Realize I speak to you as a former vegetarian low fat dude. Do you have any idea how hard it is to convert the patients you've educated so well into veggie low fat to NT/WAP. Let's just say its been fun. Just because I'm a professional doesn't exclude me from all this conflicting information. And any professional who says they are above it is either lying or just plain foolish. My decision once and for all in sorting all this out came following reading " Nutrition and Physical Degeneration " because as an insider of health care I know exactly how easy it is to make reasearch prove any point you'd like to prove, which on the face of it makes its credibility questionable 100% of the time. WAP simply observed what traditional peoples ate. So quite honestly regardless of what modern day contrived studies say whether they agree with fat eating or not they are irrelevant except in the case of possibly deepening our understanding. However the FACT that traditional peoples have conducted the most valid experiment of all for thousands of years should be proof enough to clearly say that anyone who is saying fats are bad may just make their next statement regarding the flatness of the earth. Although all the people studied by WAP would work to highlight, for those who would question the healthfulness of healthy properly made animal fats I only have two words... MASAI,ESKIMO. Researchers can take you out of your element and bamboozle you with tricky words and concepts. However you can avoid these tactics by not allowing them to surgically remove your common sense. When someone says healthy fats are bad ... ask yourself " in the greatest living human nutrition study of all time, how many masai diet of clogged arteries? " Answer? None. >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
