 And today it is well known that those fats include omega-3 fatty acids, fish oils, and monounsaturated fats. Basically, the kind of fats you find in oily fish, nuts, seeds, and fruits like avocados (which is, yes, technically a fruit, not a vegetable).
The first practical thing, then, that you can do is switch from all the unhealthy fats in your diet to healthy fats. That means giving up all fried foods, because all fried fats are unhealthy fats containing alarming quantities of trans fatty acids. So give up your fried foods and switch to raw foods or baked foods. |

 In wording that Nestle calls "incomprehensible," the consumer-friendly guidelines brochure recommends that you "look for foods low in saturated fats and trans fats"—the two most common artery-clogging fats in the supermarket. Why would the government tell you to "look for" foods that you really should avoid altogether? Because it cannot say: don't eat too many of the major sources of saturated fats: meat, cheese, milk, and eggs. Nor could Uncle Sam tell us to avoid the main sources of trans fats: fried and baked goods such as chips, cakes, and cookies. |

 You can recognize trans fats by checking the labels of foods for "hydrogenated" or "partially hydrogenated" fats. You'll find these in many commercially prepared foods such as chips, crackers, cakes, doughnuts, pastries, peanut butter, frozen meals, and margarines and shortenings. You'll also find trans fats in cake, pancake, biscuit and muffin mixes, as well as dips, toppings, nondairy coffee creamers, gravy mixes, and even salad dressings. |

 The demonisation of fats in general - due to the twin terrors of heart disease and obesity - have blinded many people to the fact that some fats are essential to health, especially for children, whose brains are still developing. Breast milk is 50 per cent fat, and paediatricians advise parents not to restrict fat intake in children under two, when brain development is at its most rapid.
As children grow older, the advice is that- like adults - they should avoid saturated fats (solid, hard animal fats like butter and lard) in favour of healthier vegetable oils, keeping fried food to a minimum. |

 Then we have Essential fats for Pets. Again, I think that the research has shown that dietary lack of essential fats constitutes a major deficiency. People and pets are very deficient in essential fats.
Food manufacturers take them all out, because they oxidize. So people and pets become very deficient. Every cell membrane and every membrane of every organelle in your body is made of fatty acids, these essential fatty acids. How could you possibly function without them? Ninety-five percent deficiency is found. |

 Robert Butler say that when establishing a diet, it's important to balance calories between complex carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, minimizing trans fats, saturated fats, and salt.
"The key is taking in what you need and avoiding the extremes," explains Dr. Kane. "You could go to a nonanimal diet, but an awful lot of vegetarians take in more cholesterol through cheeses and milk and various products than they ever would take in eating meat at a modest level." Oddly, pork was common to three of the four Blue Zones diets. But it was not eaten regularly. |

| That means giving up all fried foods, because all fried fats are unhealthy fats containing alarming quantities of trans fatty acids. So give up your fried foods and switch to raw foods or baked foods. You should also give up cheap fats such as the low-cost vegetable oils found in the grocery store, and move to the more expensive fats, such as cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil. This is one of the cases where extra money goes a long way in protecting your health. Getting healthy fats from fish oils is also quite expensive. |

 Taking omega-3 fats, mono-saturated fats and vegetable fats in their healthy state will actually lower LDL cholesterol. They lower total cholesterol and raise your good HDL. For proteins, it's the same thing. There is good protein out there, and there is bad protein. So my book pretty much focuses on eating a healthy diet that does not spike your blood sugar, and it talks about exercise. It is just modest exercise that gets your body moving. |

 It's not enough to focus on the calories, carbohydrates, fats, protein and sugar content. Manufacturers are using a variety of ingredients to concoct their own version of what they think will be marketable. The result is not always healthy for the consumer. Both Slimfast® and Nutrilite® have products that contain trans fats, which is about as far away from being healthy as you can get. |

| The group fed omega-3 fats experienced both reduced fat and reduced leptin levels. The take-away message, according to the researchers, was that "Equally high fat diets emphasizing PUFAs (polyunsaturated omega-3 fats) may even protect against obesity."
Another study with overweight adults in Australia found that those participants who had supplemented with fish oil and who had also followed an exercise program experienced more fat loss than those who had been given fish oil supplements alone but had not exercised or had been given a placebo with or without exercise. |

 Not only is the milk contaminated with pus, blood and detectable levels of pesticides and other chemicals, it's also homogenized, meaning the fats are artificially modified in a way that makes them stay in suspension. This homogenization also makes milk fats dangerous to cardiovascular health. While I support the consumption of raw, unprocessed milk, I think that consuming processed, homogenized milk is dangerous to the health of infants, children and adults alike!

| These are processed fats, which are popular with the food industry because they're cheap to produce and prolong shelf life. However, trans-fats pose the same health threats as saturated fats such as butter and lard. They now turn up in many foods, including factory-produced bread and microwaveable 'ready meals', and particularly in snack foods such as potato crisps, cakes and biscuits. |

 Because monounsaturated fats have fewer "hydrogen bonds" than pohunsaturated fats, they're more chemically stable. Therefore, they don't become free radicals nearly as easily as polyunsaturated fats.
Monounsaturated fats have several other very positive qualities. They help 'bad" LDL cholesterol to keep from oxidizing.
They also increase the efficiency of "good" cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein). In addition, monounsaturated fats bolster the ability of vitamin E to protect against free radicals. |

 Avoid junk food during the healing process, especially processed fats such as hydrogenated oils and homogenized milk fats. They interfere with healthy cell wall construction.
Colloidal silver can be used topically to prevent infections. It works better than antibiotics and offers no opportunity for bacteria to build up resistance. Some people take colloidal silver internally as a replacement for antibiotics (that topic is a whole article).
Acupuncture can help speed wound recovery. Needling the tissues near the wound can boost local circulation and help eliminate scar tissue. |

| Hydrogenation (bubbling hydrogen gas in the presence of nickel through a tank of liquid polyunsaturated oil) is used to solidify cheap liquid vegetable fats such as corn oil and safflower oil into products such as margarine. The process turns these polyunsaturated fats into saturated fats. So when you think you are getting a polyunsaturated fat in your margarine, you are actually getting the very saturated fats the margarine sellers claim they are helping you avoid.
The debate about saturated versus unsaturated fats is a heated one. |

 This drug works by absorbing fat; that way, when people eat fats like those found in milk or cheese or even salad dressings, this drug binds with those fats and carries them on out of the system where they can't be digested. But at the same time, this drug also blocks all those essential fats that we need to be healthy.
Those acids include omega-3 fatty acids, which is why you're hearing about all the benefits of eating oily fish like salmon. |

 Massive doses of fats and sugars that are part of our everyday food lead to diabetes because large doses of sugar in the blood lead to a spike in insulin release. High-fat diets add to the problem, as fat-filled cells release fats into the bloodstream, triggering insulin release that can lead to insulin resistance and eventual diabetes.
The U.S. is not alone in this unabated increase in type 2 diabetes; dramatic increases have also occurred in developing nations. |

 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. |

 By far the worst are the trans fats, which occur as byproducts of the manufacturing process that converts liquid oils into solid fats such as stick margarine and shortening. Unfortunately, trans fats are everywhere, including commercial desserts and most of the menu items served by fast food chains. If the ingredient list of a particular food refers to "partially hydrogenated" anything, that means trans fats.
Use spices with abandon. Spices are the best way to add flavor and variety to your diet without extra calories. |
