[QUOTE="Celeriac, post: 925928, member: 188243"] The developed world was brainwashed into thinking that fat was a demon, because of flawed research by Ancel Keys, inventor of wartime K rations for troops. American politicians jumped on his research because it opened up new markets for all the corn they were subsidising. Brits followed along like Mary's lamb, despite the fact that our own Professor Yudkin had stated that it was sugar which was the poison, not fat. I thoroughly recommend Gary Taubes' book 'Why We Get Fat and What to Do About It', as well as 'Fat Chance' by Dr Robert Lustig MD. If you're feeling skint they may be available in your local library. There are also several videos on YouTube. My father was diagnosed with high cholesterol and high blood pressure when I was a kid. We were the poster family for low fat everything. He ate right, lost weight, took his meds, exercised and just got worse - despite no history of heart disease or high cholesterol in his family at all. Before 1994, the supposedly healthy sunflower margarine was full of trans fats. We know now how bad they are. Gary Taubes wrote an article for the New York Times entitled 'What If It's All a Big Fat Lie ?' and in my opinion it was. It does feel like a leap of faith, but it's a leap of faith in yourself. It's your body and for the HCP's you're just another patient. It's never wrong to be invested in the body you live in. That governments got it so wrong and put profit before health will haunt them. Now when they try to tell us that genetically modified food is safe and try to encourage us to eat it, the majority of people aren't interested. So never feel guilty for having cream, butter, ghee, bacon, steaks etc at the supermarket checkout. That's a whole lot healthier than the sliced white, Pot Noodles and crisps that other people are loading onto the conveyor. [/QUOTE]
