The Shocking Truth About Saturated Fat And The Secret To Fat Loss

by thesecret2fatloss

For the past two decades you have been brainwashed into believing
a horrible lie that is keeping you from losing weight and burning
fat.

Here is the lie...Guru's, physicians, personal trainers, and
even your best friend have told you that eating saturated fat is
"bad" for your health. THIS IS A LIE!

Albeit, this lie was only partly spread with bad intentions. You
see, the food industries wanted to develop a sales pitch for
selling margarine, so they had to come up with a marketing
strategy.

In a downright deceptive effort, the first pioneers of margarine
set out to make saturated fat the enemy of every health freak.
Thousands of articles claiming to be backed by physicians were
released and the mainstream media followed the buzz by constantly
republishing VERY BAD INFORMATION.

And so, the masses began to take hold of this idea and make it
their motto. They truly believed that avoiding saturated fat
would be their ticket to health nirvana.

However, their was one problem with this. While margarine sales
were booming for companies, the rate of cardiovascular disease in
the US began to increase steadily. Until in the 1990s, it started
becoming the #1 source of death.

Presently, the top cause of death in the United States is heart
disease and it accounts for almost 30% of all deaths depending on
who you ask and where you get your statistics from.

All of this because of a "healthy lie" that people deemed as
being the truth. Here is the real truth about saturated fat that
is equally important to your weight loss as well as your health.
In fact, you can't lose weight unless you practice what I am
about to discuss.

First of all, did you realize that although doctors,
nutritionists, dietitians, fitness professionals, and the media
all have told you that it's a FACT that saturated fats are bad
for you, this "FACT" has NEVER BEEN PROVEN!

In reality, this "fact" is nothing more than an extremely flawed
hypothesis, which goes all the way back to a research study from
the 1950's. In this study, a scientist named Ancel Keys published
a paper that laid the blame on dietary fat intake for the
increasing heart disease issue around the world.

However, one of the major flaws of the study was that it used
inconclusive data from an extremely small population of people
taken from several countries. Really, the population was so small
it would never be considered legit by today's "research
standards".

Following his research years later scientists found there was in
fact, no link between fat consumption and heart disease deaths.
Therefore, while his hypothesis seemed to have powerful
supporting data when it was first introduced, it was really
empty.

Second, his blaming of fat intake for heart disease was
completely isolated from other possible lifestyle related habits
that were capable of causing heart disease. There was no data or
consideration of other factors that may play a role in heart
disease such as smoking, stress factors, sugar and refined
carbohydrate intake, and fitness levels.

Really, his conclusion ignored a holistic view of the disease
and completely focused on the issue of saturated fat. It was
almost like the study was bias from the onset.

Unfortunately, Keys study has been cited for over 5 decades now
in various research journals, books, magazines, and other
supposedly factual literature. It's even taught in grade school
and most physicians will even follow this advice and tell their
patients!

Since that time, virtually every study that has been published
on the topic has failed to find even a limited correlation
between saturated fat intake and cardiovascular disease.

In fact, the most recent and reliable research suggests that
saturated fat is important for both cardiovascular health and
weight loss! This is the exact opposite of what the majority of
health gurus promote!

For instance, there are several well known tribes in Africa
(Masai, Fulani, and Samburu), where their diet consists mostly of
raw whole milk, large quantities of red meat, and cow/goat blood.
Their saturated fat intake is THROUGH THE ROOF and yet the
occurrence of heart disease is non-existent to members of the
tribe.

In fact, according to Dr. Weston A. Price - a dentist who
studied tribal dietary habits - all tribesman he studied had zero
incidence of cardiovascular disease if they held fast to their
ancient eating habits. It was only when these same tribesman
turned to modern food supply that they began to develop the
common diseases we are faced with today.

In Price's study, he correlated his results by studying how food
caused tooth decay in ancient and modern times. What he found was
simply amazing. Tribal members that stuck to their ancient diets
were completely free of cavities! They didn't even brush their
teeth!

If that example of healthy eating helps you realize how powerful
an effect your diet has on your health, then congratulations. You
are now getting closer and closer to realizing and achieving your
weight loss and health goals.

Consider this, although saturated fat intake does increase your
LDL bad cholesterol, it actually increases your HDL good
cholesterol morso. The result is an overall improving of your
cholesterol ratios. THIS has been proven to be more important
that just total cholesterol level.

It's important to understand that not all saturated fat is
considered to be equal. There are various chemical structures
that all fall under the category of "saturated fat" and each of
them acts a bit differently when inside of the body.

The 3 most prevalent types of saturated fat are stearic acid,
palmitic acid, and lauric acid. Each naturally occurring food
contains varying ratios of each type of fat and this important
because it means that certain foods contain better fat profiles
than others.

Stearic acid is found in animal fat and cocoa in higher ratios
than other foods. Resent research shows that stearic acid has no
negative impacts on heart disease risks. Most studies have found
that it's either neutral or beneficial.

In fact, your liver breaks down stearic acid into a
monounsaturated fat called oleic acid, which is the same type of
fat that makes up most of heart-healthy olive oil. This proves
that it is very usable by the body for energy production.

Lauric acid is another beneficial saturated fat. Not only has
lauric acid been shown to increase your HDL good cholesterol
levels significantly, but it is also the hardest fat to attain in
the Standard American Diet (SAD).

Lauric acid has even been shown to have some powerful
immune-boosting effects. It is currently being studied for it's
implementation in treating HIV/AIDS, cancer, and other immune
related research to help improve immune function in patients.

Tropical oils such as coconut and palm are the best sources of
beneficial lauric acid. If you buy coconut oil be sure to obtain
extra virgin coconut oil. It should have the aroma of coconuts
and a fairly tropical taste to it.

Palmitic acid is the other main component of saturated fat and
has also been shown in studies to increase HDL good cholesterol
to the same, if not greater extent than LDL bad cholesterol,
thereby making it either neutral or beneficial, but certainly not
bad for you.

It makes you wonder, if all the researchers have tried so
fiercely to bash saturated fat , but have continued to fail to
show a correlation between saturated fat and cardivascular
disease, what are the REAL causes for heart disease?

Well, here are the real causes of heart disease:

* Trans fats (artificially or partially hydrogenated oils)

* Heavily refined vegetable oils such as soy, cottonseed,
corn oil, etc. (inflammatory inside the body, and typically throw
the omega-6/omega-3 balance out of whack)

* Too much refined sugar in the diet (including high
fructose corn syrup)

* Too much refined starches such as white bread, low fiber
cereals, etc

* Smoking

* Stressful lifestyle

* Lack of exercise

* Other lifestyle factors

Really, the attempts of the big food companies to spread the
lies and make you think vegetable oil are the best thing on earth
have been quite successful. However, you can make the decision
for yourself to start including better fats into your diet to
replenish and nurture your body. These same "healthy" saturated
fats will help you to lose weight also because they possess a
very high ability to keep you from craving.

Do not let the pull of the multi-billion dollar food industries
distort the truth for you and your family. You can make the
difference in both your weight loss and your health by changing
your diet to include more healthy saturated fats.

Long after this article is written the media and big food
companies will still be trying fiercely to make saturated fat
look like it is the cause to heart disease. More and more
pharmaceuticals will be developed to "combat" heart disease, yet
the incidence of this disease will continue to rise. It will
continue to rise until our healthcare system can no longer
support ANY type of heart disease related expenditure.

To make sure you get the proper amount of healthy saturated fats
in your diet you should include a healthy amount of organic eggs,
red meat, cold water seafood, avocados, nuts (walnuts, almonds,
pecans), and organic oils such as olive and coconut oils.

Also, your food sources should be as healthy as possible. This
means making sure that your fish is NOT farmed, but wild Alaskan
or cold water caught. It also means that your meat sources are
"grass fed" or "open/free range". These animals should NOT be fed
grains in their diet because it will distort the type of fats
found in the meat tissue. The healthier meats have better omega-3
to omega-6 ratios than standard commercial meats and will help
satisfy your hunger more.
