Our society is going to get sicker than it already is. I guess that is what I meant to say. Then you have something like Promise Nonfat which contains only a "negligible amount of fat," the package says. The main ingredient is water. They use soy lechitin, rice starch, gelatin, water, and a very small amount of vegetable fat, but nothing like 10% mentioned in the article, I don't think. At 5 calories per Tsp., it couldn't have much fat. This tastes pretty good, but I don't think you would have much success cooking with it with the high water content. Perhaps people could use more of something like this instead of conventional fats to trick them into thinking they are eating oil. I don't really eat anything fried. The only other fat I get is what is in the natural product, like the fat in OATS...had to get an oats reference in some way. The article seemed pretty professional, but I am always a little suspect of someone who uses the words activism and healing arts along with farming. Seems a little like a fringe/holisitic/alarmist/wacko even though I can't disagree with the article...yet. dkw |

"trans fatty acids in partially hydrogenated vegetable oils are the main cause of type 2 diabetes, characterized by high levels of both insulin and glucose in the blood, because they inhibit the insulin receptors in the cell membranes." |

Real meat, real fat, real veggies. |

She said to get back to nature, and eat, as if I lived on a farm. Pork? Fat? Fried pork? She did not care, as long as the food was not processed. She did not care what fruit, vegetables, beans, meat or bread I ate, as long as it was natural and unadulterated. Interesting article, thanks for posting it. Becca |

Interesting article, thanks for posting it. Becca Doctors are often not expert in recommending diets. Doctors also often follow your lead. If you suggest you WANT to eat those kinds of foods, they will often tell you it is OK, since they often do not like to challenge their patients. The consensus is that you probably shouldn't be eating fatty meats. The meat industry is probably not so unadulterated either, since there are growth hormones, pesticides, insecticides, antibiotics and who knows what in meat. The higher you get up on the food chain, the more contaminents. If I really wanted to eat natural, I'd eat organic vegetarian foods. Still, you do see people who eat all kinds of high fat meats and live to a ripe old age. You also see lots of people who smoke all their lives and don't get lung cancer or heart trouble as well. I would go with the statistics though and stats don't support eating a lot of high fat, especially animal fat. dkw |

This has been known for a long time now. I don't think it is a myth. Since there is no need to eat fatty meat in the first place, why not just substitute it for something that isn't implicated in heart problems. I contend that people eat it because they like the meat....then try and justify that diet. In other words, they are only fooling themselves by listening only to what they want to hear. You could make the same argument for smoking and not wearing a seat belt, but statistically those too make it more likely there will be a bad result. Perhaps some people would not mind eating lots of fat, or even being fat themselves because it is easier and more fun to do that and they might rather be happy and perhaps die a year or two earlier. That would be a good argument, but to deny there is a scientific relationship between a high-cholesterol, high-triglyceride diet and heart disease would be the myth. dkw |
