It wasn’t any animal fat that clogged her arteries. Animal fats and organ meat were once considered the prime cuts. Our obesity crisis didn’t arise from consuming fatty pork or beef; it’s easily correlated to the advent of the modern low-fat diet.
All cultures with notable longevity have diets high in fat. Fat is essential to health—carbs are detrimental to health. The combination of carbohydrates and fat ensures the excess carbohydrates turn to body fat. Carbohydrates are the culprit. Despite the caloric density of fat, Americans regularly consume the majority of their calories from carbohydrates. Add in modern “processing” that extracts essential nutrients, and it’s no wonder we have so many sick, obese people.
I can agree, but I still do not touch pork, and I love bread and stay away from sugar.
Very true.......
..... b/c some nutrients consumed are only soluble in fats. Therefore you must have fats in your diet.
I agree with this; and it’s not just the heavily carbohydrate diet that a problem, but that so many of those carbs are highly refined as well.
