See book keywords and concepts |  For over three and half decades, Western civilization assumed that animal fats were the main cause of dietary heart disease. This misinformation is highlighted by the fact that heart attacks began to rise when consumption of animal fats actually decreased. This was verified by British research, which revealed that those areas in the U.K. where people consumed more margarine and less butter had the highest numbers of heart attacks. Further studies revealed that heart attack patients had consumed the least amounts of animal fats. |

See book keywords and concepts |  For instance, during the decades of the twentieth century when rates of heart disease were rising in America, Americans were actually reducing their intake of animal fats (in the form of lard and tallow). In place of those fats, they consumed substantially more vegetable oils, especially in the form of margarine, sales of which outpaced butter for the first time in 1957. Between the end ofWorld War II and 1976 (the year of McGovern's hearings) , per capita consumption of animal fats from all sources dropped from eighty-four pounds to seventy-one, while fats from seed oils approximately doubled. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Plant oils are to be used only lightly, and red meat, butter, and animal fats are to be avoided, as are processed foods, high-fat foods, sweets, and caffeinated drinks. Alcohol and salt are to be consumed in moderation. The Ornish Lifestyle Modification Program claims to promote weight loss, improve cardiovascular health, help to regulate blood sugar and insulin, and lower cholesterol levels.
Whether it is the TLC diet, the Step 1 or Step 2 diet, the Mediterranean diet, or the Ornish diet, they all offer a great step toward reducing the risk of heart disease. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Most people's blood cells clump together because they live on a disease-inducing diet of fried foods, homogenized dairy fats, saturated animal fats, hydrogenated oils and other deadly foods. These massive clumps of blood cells slow bloodflow and can ultimately get lodged in the capillaries of the circulatory system, blocking off nutrients and oxygen to tissues and brain cells. Aloe vera, on the other hand, causes sticky blood to become "unsticky blood," making it flow like it should -- one blood cell at a time -- so that oxygen and nutrients can reach every last organ and cell in your body. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Bacon
Most bacon and sausage are processed meat products made with sodium nitrite (like the hot dogs, above) and contaminated with various chemicals lodged in the animal fats. Conventionally-raised beef, pork and chicken products are, in my opinion, extremely toxic to the human body and contribute to colon cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer and many other diseases and disorders. If you make meat for your children, shop for 100% organic, free-range, antibiotic-free meats that have no nitrites or nitrates.

Michael Pollan
See book keywords and concepts | | Between the end ofWorld War II and 1976 (the year of McGovern's hearings) , per capita consumption of animal fats from all sources dropped from eighty-four pounds to seventy-one, while fats from seed oils approximately doubled. Americans appeared to be moving in the direction of a "prudent diet" and yet, paradoxically, having more heart attacks on it, not fewer.*
As for the precipitous decline in heart disease during the years of World War II, that could just as easily be attributed to factors other than the scarcity of meat, butter, and eggs. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Depending on one of three main pathways of prostaglandin production, the effects can be helpful or harmful to the body. animal fats produce a pathway of prostaglandin products that increase inflammation, muscle constriction, and edema. However, gamma-linolenic acid and alpha-linolenic acid produce the opposite effects. These fatty acids taken in supplemental form can produce the prostaglandins that are involved in inhibiting tumor growth, dilating smooth muscle, and decreasing inflammation. |

See book keywords and concepts |  A survey of South Carolina adults found no correlation of blood cholesterol levels with "bad" dietary habits, such as use of red meat, animal fats, fried foods, butter, eggs, whole milk, bacon, sausage, and cheese. Does that sound like heresy, or what?
• A Medical Research Council survey showed that men eating butter ran half the risk of developing heart disease compared with those using margarine.
• Mother's milk provides a higher proportion of cholesterol than almost any other food. It also contains over 50 percent of its calories as fat, much of it saturated fat. |

See article keywords and concepts |  There are carcinogens that are formed when meat is cooked, and red meat is also high in saturated animal fats, which act as a concentrated storehouse of environmental toxins. Saturated animal fats will make our cells more insulin-resistant, which puts us at risk for type 2 diabetes.
It also causes our insulin levels to go up. Insulin actually acts as a growth factor for not only breast cancer, but colon, prostate cancer and so forth. There are little receptors on the cell and when it hooks onto it, it causes cell division to increase. |
Mary-Ann Shearer
See book keywords and concepts |  Most cancer associations state that too much fat in the diet can cause cancer, and although they don't state whether the research was done using heated or unheated fats, there does seem to be evidence that heated fats and animal fats are the culprit. animal fats, it appears, can contribute to cancer due to the hormones used to encourage milk production.
When it comes to fats, the consumer is frequently baffled by the terms saturated, unsaturated, polyunsaturated, and monounsaturated. |
Michael Friedman, ND
See book keywords and concepts |  Limit Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils: Hydrogenated vegetable fat appears to be just as bad as animal fats in epidemiological studies.
Consume Good Fats: Omega 3, 6, 9 versus saturated animal fats.
Avoid Oxidation of Fats: Heating of fats, such as in frying, has shown to increase the degeneration of smooth muscle cells in arterial tissue.
Select Protein: Protein should be obtained from fish, skinless chicken, and nuts and seeds. Protein powder shakes are also acceptable. |
Richard Beliveau, Ph.D. and Denis Gingras, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Since energy supply is the main objective pursued by Western diet, we should not be surprised that the latter is based for the most part on the consumption of proteins and animal fats, such as red meat and milk products, while foods with fewer calories, such as fruits and vegetables, occupy a place of less importance. In the East, people consume fruits and vegetables in abundance; their main sources of protein are legumes, particularly soy, as well as fish; they eat relatively little red meat and other foods containing saturated animal fats. |
Neal D. Barnard and Bryanna Clark Grogan
See book keywords and concepts |  Now, some people argue that plant oils are more healthful than animal fats, and it's true that they are much lower in saturated fat, the kind that raises cholesterol levels and is linked to breast cancer and insulin resistance. When it comes to weight problems, however, animal fats and vegetable oils are essentially all the same. They all pack in 9 calories per gram.
Step three is to focus on high-fiber foods. A grain of brown rice, for example, has a thin cloak of fiber surrounding the grain that gives the rice its tan color. |
Hyla Cass, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | Saturated or animal fats are widely considered to be "bad" as well, but they are acceptable in moderation when eaten along with protein in meat and dairy products.
About 30 percent of the calories in your diet should come from good fats. The most healthy fatty acids are found in fish oil, flaxseed oil (both have lots of omega-3 fatty acids), and borage oil (which has a type of omega-6 fatty acid, gamma-linolenic acid or GLA, that has many health benefits). |

See book keywords and concepts |  But here's an important distinction: These results occurred only when the triglycerides were from animal fats. Triglycerides from vegetable fats did not block leptin as the animal triglycerides had done.
What do the researchers think is the solution? Theoretically, if you lower triglycerides, you should help the body's own leptin work better, which may help you lose weight. Eating a low-fat diet, they say, is a natural way to reduce triglycerides. | | Besides reducing the saturated fat content of your diet because you aren't eating animal fats, there are other benefits to a meatless day or two each week," says Julie Upton, MS, RD, with the Environmental Nutrition newsletter. According to Upton, vegetarian diets are lower in total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol, plus they include more of the beneficial nutrients found in plant foods, like vitamins A and C, potassium, fiber, and phytonutrients like beta-carotene and lycopene.
So what exactly does it take to call oneself a vegetarian? |

See book keywords and concepts | | Saturated fatty acids are solid at room temperature and are typically animal fats (found in beef, lamb, butter, cheese, and lard). Saturated fats in general are not good for the heart; they contribute to LDL cholesterol and should be eaten in sparse amounts for a heart-healthy diet. A triglyceride is a saturated fat when the carbon molecules in the fatty acids are saturated with hydrogen molecules and can't carry any more. When some of the hydrogen molecules are removed, what remains is an unsaturated fatty acid, or unsaturated fat. |
Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts |  Also, all on the nutrition side, as you have already guessed, it is very important to avoid saturated animal fats. You don't want to be eating any hamburger or red meat at all. In short, if you avoid red meat you will also be doing yourself a huge favor in terms of avoiding environmental toxins. Red meat consumption also promotes colon cancer.
I recall a recent study that showed fire retardant chemicals in massive quantities are now being found in the animal fats in red meat. That's because these fire retardant chemicals tend to collect in the fat tissues. |
Tori Hudson, N.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | The simplest way to accomplish the necessary levels of fat reduction is to avoid animal fats in all forms; a vegan diet (vegetarian, without any animal products at all, including dairy or eggs) is naturally a very low-fat diet. Of course, vegetarians, and even strict vegans, can succumb to fat in other forms like french fries, potato chips, and other greasy fried foods. | | Emphasize fish high in omega-3 oils (salmon, tuna, sardines, halibut, mackerel, herring) and reduce saturated animal fats (beef, chicken, butter, cheese) to promote the preferred prostaglandin pathways that are discussed in Chapters 9 and 13 (in the discussions of heart disease and menstrual cramps). These preferred prostaglandins will reduce inflammation and may thereby help to reduce heavy and profuse menstrual flows.
Foods high in iron in particular should be incorporated into the general diet when heavy blood loss persists on a monthly basis. |
Mark Sircus
See book keywords and concepts |  In general, it may be stated that in excess of 90% of human exposure to PCDDs, PCDFs and dioxin-like PCBs derives from the consumption of animal fats, of which 50% are contained in milk and milk products. Infants are exposed to these substances before birth as well as through the maternal milk," reported the Health Council of the Netherlands. See: www.borstvoeding.com/abon/bf_toxins.html
4 The Atlantis Mobile Laboratory, just tested in Bermuda, reported that 50 out of 70 newborns surveyed had dangerously high levels of mercury. |
Gabriel Cousens
See book keywords and concepts |  We need again to distinguish between cooked, saturated, and animal fats, versus raw fats with their natural high lipase content, such as we see in the indigenous Eskimo diet, along with cold-pressed unrefined olive oil, avocado, as well as predigested raw nuts and seeds soaked overnight, and even sprouted grains, which are healthy sources of fat. Even raw animal fat did not seem as strongly associated with the onset of chronic disease, but eating the same diet cooked and without enzymes because they were destroyed with cooking could be associated with the enzyme deficiency that cooking creates. | | Obesity is secondary to a diet high in saturated cooked animal fats and high in sugar. Americans have become conspicuous consumers of sugar and sweet-tasting foods and beverages. Per capita consumption of caloric sweeteners, mainly sucrose (table sugar made from cane and beets) and corn sweeteners (notably high-fructose corn syrup, or HFCS) increased 43 pounds, or 39 percent, between 1950-1959 and 2000. In 2000, each American consumed an average 152 pounds of caloric sweeteners. That amounted to more than two-fifths of a pound, or 52 teaspoons per person per day. | | There is a food environment characterized by heavy marketing of excitotoxin-rich processed junk foods, refined carbohydrates such as white sugar and white flour with alloxan, heavy use of animal fats and trans fats, agrochemical-laden foods, and heavy-metal toxicity. These characteristics combine to result in a negative synergy that has precipitated diabetes at pandemic levels, when it was relatively rare before 1940. This is not an accident—the Culture of Death is an active and thoughtless Crime Against Wisdom. |
