  1. Hi
    - this has probably been covered a thousand times but after looking around
    on the net I can't seem to find 'an idiots guide' to fat. - from what I've
    read and hopefully understood saturated fats are the worst (to be avoided as
    much as possible?) - but some other types are ?essential.
    - long story short i didn't used to care about my diet (god forbid i was
    still a smoker 7ish months ago) but i'm a dad now so it's not just me i'm
    responsible for.................
    -trying to improve my diet but finding it all very confusing - any
    recomended books web sites?

    - thanks for your time and any information, regards

    Of course the first two responses point you in opposite directions -- one to
    the Harvard University Dept. of Nutrition, the other to the writings of a 19th
    Century dentist. One of the above really is an idiot's guide. Hopefully,
    which one that is is obvious.

    The way the mainstream condemns all saturated fats as bad and the same
    is just one example of their stupidity. There are good saturated fats
    and there are bad ones. Saturated animal fats and tropical oils are
    extremely healthy. The bad saturated fats are the hydrogenated
    vegetable shortenings. Also highly polyunsaturated fats from liquid
    vegetable oils are extremely dangerous to human health. The weston
    price link given in the last post is the number one source for
    TRUTHFUL information on fat. Anything else, especially from
    mainstream medical establishment(like Harvard and others) must be
    taken with a grain of salt if not a bucket. They spout many
    distortions and outright lies about fat. These lies are and have been
    driven by various food industry interests for many many decades.

    Here is some more good information about fat at http://coconutoil.com/

    You really are an ignorant moron. Harvard isn't worth dog [censored] to
    anyone but their corporate pay masters and dumbass dupes like you.
    Get your freakin head out of the sand.

    Thank you. When an ignorant moron calls you an ignorant moron, it's actually a
    compliment. If you started to admire me, I'd start getting worried.

    Actually you displayed your ignorance with the statement you made
    about the link provided by Gregory. Weston Price is long dead and has
    no "writings" in any of the articles from that link. Most of the
    information there is written by a highly regarded biochemist and lipid
    researcher Mary Enig who was among the first scientists to bring the
    dangers of trans fats into the mainstream. I think she has some
    authority on fats. Certainly much more than your dumb ass. So why
    dont you admit your remarks were either wrong and misleading or just
    plain ignorant. To calim it is an "idiots guide" is absurd and makes
    you look like a fool. She also is not a corrupt unethical industry
    owned criminal like many of the so called scientists and researchers
    at Harvard. It does not take a genius to decide who is credible and
    who is not. But it does take an "ignorant moron" to make the wrong
    choice.

    Dr. Mary G. Enig, a nutritionist/biochemist of international renown
    for her research on the nutritional aspects of fats and oils, is a
    consultant, clinician, and the Director of the Nutritional Sciences
    Division of Enig Associates, Inc., Silver Spring, Maryland. Dr. Enig,
    a consultant on nutrition to individuals, industry, and state and
    federal governments, is a licensed practitioner in Maryland and the
    District of Columbia. She has served as a Contributing Editor of the
    scientific journal Clinical Nutrition and a Consulting Editor of the
    Journal of the American College of Nutrition. Dr. Enig has authored
    numerous journal publications, mainly on fats and oils research and
    nutrient/drug interactions, and is a well-known invited lecturer at
    scientific meetings and a popular interviewee on TV and radio shows
    about nutrition. She was an early and articulate critic of the use of
    trans fatty acids and advocated their inclusion in nutritional
    labeling; the scientific mainstream is now challenging the food
    product industry's use of trans-containing partially hydrogenated
    vegetable oils. She received her Ph.D. in Nutritional Sciences from
    the University of Maryland, College Park, and is a Fellow of The
    American College of Nutrition, a member of The American Society for
    Nutritional Sciences, and President of the Maryland Nutritionists
    Association.

    Mary Enig is neither "highly regarded" nor an active researcher. She hasn't
    done a damn thing except write letters to editors and publish her nonsense on
    the web since getting her doctorate.

    You're still an ignorant fool.

    Because I do not buy into the corporate controlled propaganda you call
    nutritional guidelines? Give me a break. Why should I believe
    Procter & Gamble and their cronies who call themselves health
    authorities that polyunsaturated vegetable oils are good for me?? Why
    don't you just trust the tobacco companies to inform you about
    smoking. What a moron. You are the fool who allows himself to be
    duped by such blatant lies and misinformation. You are the fool who
    is blinded to the obvious greed and corruption of corporations and
    industries who seek only profit at any cost with the medical research
    they support to achieve this goal(not out of the kindness of their
    hearts as you seem to think). You chose to ignore the obscene immoral
    and unethical conflicts of interests and revolving door between
    industries and medical/nutritional research and government health
    policy making agencies. You chose to give these corrupt entities the
    benefit of the doubt and put your health and that of your family and
    the public in their hands? In hands that care only about the bottom
    line and could not care how many people must suffer or die to achieve
    the most profit possible. This is reality. You need to wake up. It
    is not hard to see who the ignorant naive fool is. The only hard
    thing to understand is why you so willfully chose ignorance over
    enlightenment and acceptance of reality. You are only compromising
    your own health in the long run. If you want to gulp down that yummy
    soy bean and corn oil to get your daily dose of heart healthy
    polyunsaturated oils while avoiding those dangerous animal fats go
    right ahead. The only people you are helping are Proctor and Gamble
    and the rest of the edible oil industry. Pretty sad how people allow
    themselves to be duped to act against their own self interests and for
    the interests of entities that care nothing about them except their
    money. but then again half the US population does that by voting for
    republicans and against their own working class interests and for the
    interests of the rich top 1% rulling class. You really have said
    little to rationalize your point of view or explain why my views are
    wrong and why the facts I have presented are somehow irrelevant.

    You need to learn the difference between scientific research and nutritional
    guidelines.
