Fats, oils and egg yolks..

Fats, oils and egg yolks.. 

Eat the yolks people, eat them daily, they do not cause heart disease or any meaningful elevation in cholesterol, which actually means nothing anyway. 

Also saturated fats are not evil, in fact they are definitely better than vegetable or unsaturated fats in several key areas. Saturated fats and cholesterol do not cause heart disease. a saturated fat has a stable chemical makeup, it is less susceptible to damage from heat and light then its counterpart.Since some of my Facebook friends are chemists, they could probably explain better than I can, . When you cook with it, it does not break up or get oxidized. Oxidized fatty acids are not good, your body must quench oxidation with its own pool of antioxidants. Best for cooking, Cocunut oil, butter, worst, PUFA like corn oil etc.. Olive oil is a mono unsatured fat, its ok, so is canola, but not as good to cook with as coconut, butter or even lard. Think about this, where does heart disease occur, vein or artery? if you said artery you would be correct, and to further this along, what is the distinction between the two? Arteries carry highly oxygenated blood to the body, veins carry de-oxygenated blood back... hmm... oxygen.. if you are seeing the similarity here you are right.. so if oxygen can be a culprit in a disease process what to do? eat foods high in antioxidants, and consume better fats, stop worrying about cholesterol, be more concerned about inflammation, (oxidation causes inflammation through free radical formation, this damages the artery wall and causes heart disease, and cancer).Processed Sugar is the worst thing you can eat, followed by processed starches and oxidized oils.. bad bad bad..Get your CRP and Sed rates measured, also homocysteine.. (b vitamin deficiency) Back to eggs, studies done on prisoners of war post confinement found no heart disease in the ones that consumed large quantities of eggs.. in fact the egg has great protein and fat, and is a powerhouse of nutrients like phophatidylcholine (for brain) and biotin, skin hair etc.. also it contains high amounts of fat soluable vitamins A, D, E and K... not to mention DHA for brain as well. Avoiding the yolk is silly, and for the average person eating eggs daily is absolutely fine, especially cooked on coconut oil. Avoid at all costs, partially hydrogenated oils, margarine and frankenstein oils, they are chemically altered by monstrous heat and pressure to saturate, causing isomers to be created that your body cannot break down. Summary of this:

cook with saturated fats, coconut, butter, lard
eat saturated fats without worry
avoid PUFA, the clear bottles of yellow oil
avoid processed sugars and starches
avoid synthetic fats, frankenoils
dont worry about your eggs and eat the yolks.
eat lots of antioxidant rich food

get blood work to measure inflammation
