[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2012155, member: 365308"] Zoe Harcombe is also excellent on this topic btw and does very good comments on the Public Health contradictory advice on the topic e.g. the advice to cut down on saturated fat citing examples such as ice cream and pastries or to eat oily fish for omega 3 e,g. mackeral (not sure if that is the correct spelling) which is relatively high in saturated fat. I think the Fat Elephant in the Room other than the heart health misconception, is that many people still believe in counting calories thus many weight loss diets will advise cutting fat versus cutting carbs just because the fats are energy dense IF eaten with carbs where the body preferentially burns the carbs (rocket fuel) and parks the fat into storage. Therefore vegans with diabetic tendencies probably should stick to 10% fat if the mainstay of their diet are starchy carbs. Incidentally Dave Asprey or Bulletproof Coffee fame reckons that our brains are mainly made of fat and that to replace all the cells therein takes 7 years. IN other words be careful to only build your brain from quality 'bricks' from natural sources (I do NOT include his brand of MCT oil in that group). This little piggy likes her bacon anyway! [/QUOTE]
