Having said that, I drink whole milk only, pure butter (salted) and use bacon fat in a lot of my cooking, same as both of my granpas and my father, who all lived well into their late 80's, one GP until 96.

My father was 95 on Aug 8th. Has never followed a low fat diet, whole milk, butter, bacon, eggs. Has a beer with lunch everyday and "happy hour" every afternoon at 4:30PM sharp. And sometimes has wine with dinner. We joke that he has acheived the perfect balance of fat/alcohol intake to last another 30 years or so.

Now, he does eat prunes and bran flakes every morning for breakfast and always has fruit and a sandwich on whole wheat bread for lunch. Everyday for the past 70+ years!! But, he eats very little processed foods and sugar. Personally, I think sugar is the biggest problem in the current American diet, not fat.

And his mind is sharper than mine. Everything in moderation.

I've pretty much some to the same conclusion about sugar vs. fat.

God bless him.

My wife thinks I'm "Pop" (Burgess Merideth) in "Grumpy Old Men"......I think she's right.
