Guest guest Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Hi Neal and all, There is a great deal of difference between animal- and plant-based fats. They are not equivalent at all. For example, we are not designed to process cholesterol originating outside ourselves. Animal foods are generally high in cholesterol, plant foods basically have none (or " trace " ). We " can " process animal fats, to a limited degree ... we " can " process many things to a limited degree. But such processing is costly in metabolic terms. We do best with plant-based fats ... in very small quantities. We do indeed require certain fat-soluble nutrients ... and we also possess the capacity to STORE such nutrients ... BECAUSE they are fat-soluble. I am aware of zero organizations that deal with high-performance living ... world-class athletes, world-class entertainers, etc. ... that recommend any form of high-fat diet for human consumption. The reason is simple enough: they simply cannot perform their best on a high-fat program. Best to all, Elchanan _____ rawfood [rawfood ] On Behalf Of neal Tuesday, May 29, 2007 1:19 PM rawfood Re: [Raw Food] Re: Baby Food Hi Caroline, Just one thing on raw and fat. We have all been completely mislead regarding animal fats. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with fat, in fact there is a great deal of usefull nutrition available from this source, but only raw unprocessed fat. It is entirely the processing that causes the harm. I respectfully suggest you further your reading. And you are probably providing your daughter with the best thing for her. I only wish I could find a source of raw cows milk. neal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
