[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2671271, member: 480869"] It’s nice to see someone acknowledging the limitations and proviso’s that need to be attached to these books and YouTube’s Body fat? Sure it’s a problem, especially around the organs. Dietary fat is quite a different thing and many fall into the trap of thinking it’s the same. We certainly don’t know that about saturated fat. We have previously been told so I agree but then we have been told lots of things in the past about diet and health that turn out not to be the full picture or even flat out wrong. There are ever increasing studies and experts call this “knowledge” into question right now, the raw data, the assumptions it’s built on as well as the design flaws in the evidence it relies on. At the most generous my opinion is that I outright know that carbs cause me a problem right now (high blood glucose and more than likely excessive amounts of insulin but that’s harder test). That high bgl unquestionably will cause damage uncheck and unaddressed. The saturated fat arguments may or may not be correct (I suspect not) and may or may not indirectly cause me trouble later. My focus is on the most effective way to reduce the bgl and that’s reducing the carbs not the saturated fats [/QUOTE]
