There are so many natural health related news articles that arrive in my inbox weekly and so many of them contain great information worth sharing in the Health News Roundup each week. But few are as good and informative to highlight alone.
As I was cleaning out my inbox today, I read an article that I think is worth highlighting. In this article, Dr. Mercola talks about diet myths and the real root cause of obesity. Here's an excerpt from the beginning of the article:
Conventional medical authorities say that consumption of saturated animal fats is bad for you and causes heart disease.
But a hundred years ago, fewer than than one in one hundred Americans were obese, and coronary heart disease was unknown. The Procter and Gamble started marketing Crisco as a new kind of food -- the first commercially marketed trans fat. Crisco was originally used to make candles and soap, but with electrification causing a decline in candle sales, Procter and Gamble decided to promote the fat as a “healthier” all-vegetable-derived shortening
According to LewRockwell.com:
“Feeding high doses of fat and cholesterol to omnivores, like rats and dogs, does not produce atherosclerotic lesions in them ... In fact, it turns out that people who have highest percentage of saturated fat in their diets have the lowest risk of heart disease ... The last word on this subject should go to Julia Child ... Enjoy eating saturated fats, they’re good for you!”
