[QUOTE="KevinPotts, post: 1204267, member: 290458"] In Chapter 32 "Fat Consumption and Daily Requirements", the author refers to 1979 US figures which indicate the average citizen consumed 135 pounds (61kg) of fats that year, about 168grams per day. The fat consumed was made up of: 34% saturated 40% monounsaturated 15% polyunsaturated (w6) fatty acids The info did not distinguish EFAs from non-essential, altered, denatured, and toxic polyunsaturates. W3 intake was completely ignored. The amount of EFAs left in their natural state after hydrogenation, exposure to destruction by light, air and food prep (both commercially and in the home) will be lower, and some of this may be unavailable to our body because saturated and monounsaturated long-chain fatty acids, trans, and sugars present in the diet interfere with EFA functions. Interestingly, fat consumption has been increasing by about 1 pound per person per year up to the printing of this edition in 1993. I wonder if this has continued? Nutrition Review indicated that fat consumption in other countries was considerably lower than the classic Western daily consumption: Thailand 27gpd Philippnes 30gpd Japan 40gpd Taiwan 45gpd Denmark 160gpd NZ 155gpd UK 142gpd US 168gpd Canada 142gpd People in the nations consuming a low-fat diet have a lower incidence of fatty degeneration, and people in the high-fat nations have a high incidence of fatty degeneration......Emmmmm....do we believe the extrapolation of that last statement?
