[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2162145, member: 506169"] Hi svgittins, I understand your fear of saturated fat because it has been demonised as associated with heart disease since the 1960's. I too was concerned , I had a 3 x bypass a few years ago while on a High Carb very low Fat diet lasting over 10 yrs. My father died of a heart attack at age 45 (though he was both a heavy smoker, obese and highly stressed due to working a night shift for many years). Interestingly, when reviewing all the 'so called evidence', it becomes obvious that there is absolutely no scientific evidence that either of these are true and the original studies into Heart Attacks ignored one of the biggest risk factors which is smoking. [B]The false assumptions are :[/B] A). Low Fat ways of eating are associated with lower heart disease. - The study came to this conclusion by reviewing diet and heart disease in 7 countries which produced a beautiful graph showing a huge correlation. However what that scientist (Ancel Keys) didn't publish was the data he had for another 15 countries. Was this because they didn't fit his theory? Decide for yourself by looking at the graphs side by side in here: [URL]https://drdechickerand.com/2017/cholesterol-is-good/[/URL] B). Eating fat makes you fat. - As we know in this forum, it is eating lots of carbs and sugars that makes you fat by raising your Insulin so that 1) Your body can't 'burn' its stored fat 2). The Insulin shoves the excess Blood Glucose into your muscle cells, but when they say 'no more' it shoves it into sub-cutaneous fat cells and into visceral fat cell around your organs and your belly. C). A high Fat diet raises LDL ( 'bad cholesterol') . - No, it raises HDL ('good cholesterol') and improves your HDL to Triglycerides ratio. [B]Do your own checking, but this was more than enough for me to embrace LCHF having been eating exactly the opposite way for nearly 20yrs![/B] [/QUOTE]
