Guest guest Posted December 7, 2002 Report Share Posted December 7, 2002 Roger, I have cut down from 3-4 avocados a day to one every two days. Garlic has gone too. My regret there, is that I will reduce my intake of lipase which I read somewhere is helpful for cleaning arteries. I just wonder what other natural sources of Lipase there are? Following the trend away from fats, I have boosted the fruit content of my diet too. It seems to work for me. Am thinking of developing a taste for coconuts. They have oil, can be smashed on a stone. It is sloppy of me not to read more but does the coconut get a good review by the experts?

" He recommends no more than 10 to 20% of calories to come from raw fats. Keep in mind this is a very low amount in terms of quantity. Fat has much more calories by weight than fruits. So it's not twenty percent of the weight or volume of the food but twenty percent or ten percent of your total caloric intake. If you eat about 2,000 calories per day then 10% is only 200 fat calories for the whole day. Just one avocado is 270 fat calories. He also said that even cold processing of oils removes the lipase enzyme which would exist in the whole food. High fat intake makes Diabetes worse and it's bad if you have High Blood Pressure. All according to Dr. Cousens book. He does however seem to think that raw fats are much better than cooked fats. Which I totally agree with from my own experiences. He's not so sure if eating a lot of raw fat is really that bad. He's waiting for more studies to come in on that. Since most of the studies deal with people eating cooked fats. Roger P.S.
