[QUOTE="ally5555, post: 161633, member: 7357"] it is an interesting thread . Have you ever looked at the DRV for sat fat - 10% of calories should come from sat fat out of the 30-35% calorie from fat . The last review of DRV was done in 1991 - might be worth a read as it does give the current dietary guidelines - they were not thrown together! Dietary reference Values for food , energy and nutients for the UK - 1991 - Dept of Health. Some are being updated by the SACN meetings - they are reviewing several nutrients and have expert committes on most nutrients. In practice what does this mean - you can eat 2-3 portions a day of protein - yes meat , fish, eggs, cheese plus milk. Plus the fat you get in butter / marg. My guess is that is what most of us eat in practice! I think it is important that you realise that no one has said not to eat these foods daily - however the portion size is important. The problem with sat fat is where it comes from - some people are consuming vast quantities from the junk that they eat - so yes it is a problem. What we need to do is look at where the sat fat is coming from. There are also probelms with people who have a genetic hyperlididaemia - there are several of these and sat fat will be a consideration. Ally [/QUOTE]
