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
