Swedish study shows fat good for children
I have translated parts of the press story from a Swedish newspaper last week: Healthy four year old kids who eat more fat have lower weights than others, according to a study made in Gothenburg. The study, carried out at Sahlgrenska akademin, shows that twenty percent of four-year-olds have a BMI that is too high and that two percent of the children can be regardes as fat. However, those with high BMI are not those eating lots of fat, but rather those who eat less fat. Not really surprising... |

Swedish study shows fat good for children
This also appeared in english in various places. It was not amount of
fat per sey, it was type of fat. The children doing best consumed more omega3 rich polyunsaturated fats from fish and plant sources the study specifies. While this is a low carb group the devil is still in the details, there are good fats and there are bad fats in addition to level of carb intake that are important. |

From what I have seen one of the results was exactly that higher fat intake, regardless of type, was associated with less obesity: "Higher intake of fats is associated with lower body weight, says new research from Sweden that offers an alternative side to the role of fat intake in the rise of obesity. The research also correlated higher BMI with higher sugar intake. Researcher Malin Haglund Garemo, a dietician from Gothenburg University in Sweden, said that more studies are planned to investigate if obesity was being caused by an early increase in insulin, and not fat. " The children doing best consumed more omega3 rich polyunsaturated fats from fish and plant sources the study specifies. While this is a low carb group the devil is still in the details, there are good fats and there are bad fats in addition to level of carb intake that are important. |

The easiest way to understand the whole "forest" (ie. big picture) of fats is to consider what fats we evolved eating. mainly animal fats. We are genetically wired thru millions of years of evolution to eat primarily animal fats, fish fats, some fats from nuts and only very small amounts of fats from grains. And it is common sensical to see that extremely processed and refined oils like soybean, canola, corn and similar oils are not the best for us. Nor is hydrogenation. TC |

No one on TV ever talks about fat without tagging on "artery clogging".
Like it goes straight into the arteries and hardens into a plug. Bob in CT wrote: | | I think this stuff about "good fats" and "bad fats" is completely | hogwash. |

Leaving aside the fat sources developed in the last 100 years, could you show us on what evidence you base your specific conclusions above? Evidence from human metabolism of fats would seem one place to consider as well as that from paleoanthropology. Please don't just throw links at us without commentary as to contents of each and what you think they support with regard to fat in the human diet. Provide the logic that ties the information to your conclusions in other words. Thanks. |

It would be pointless to show any proof to you because you will automatically label it as cherry picking without yourself showing any proof of cherry picking Maybe you can show us the appropriate studies that show otherwise, oh gifted Freshie the all knowing of Carnegie Mellon University and Brainwashing Institute.
