    About this ebook

    Low Fat is a great diet, right? Wrong! And What You Don’t Know Could Kill You!

    The truth is coming out. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported:

    “The conclusion of an analysis of the history and politics behind the diet-heart hypothesis was that after 50 years of research, there was no evidence that a diet low in saturated fat prolongs life."

    And there is more, much more. . . A low fat diet can be deadly!

    READER REVIEWS

    • ”This is a Fat Bible!”
    • ”Great job exposing all the misinformation put out there . . .“
    • ”Allows me to make educated choices about which oils are right for me.”
    • ”Definitive analysis of each fat we have access to . . .“
    • ”Quick read with just the right amount of info . . .

    Here is the Skinny About This Book:

    This book is a guide to the most beneficial fats and oils you can buy – from Almond Oil and Animal Fat, to Walnut Oil. You will read about their nutritional values, their health benefits, and how to best include them in your diet – with some recipes and references to many more. Despite all the adverse publicity they’ve received, saturated fats are not the problem. The truth is coming out and this book debunks the low fat/no fat – a low fat diet can be deadly!

    And You Really Need to Read About This:

    Did you know that despite all the adverse publicity they’ve received, saturated fats are not the problem? Clues to this are everywhere. Fifty percent of our cell walls are comprised of saturated fat. And the lung surfactant that covers the air spaces in the lungs is comprised of 100% saturated Fat!

    We debunk the low fat/no fat, especially saturated fat, thinking that has prevailed for over 50 years. We have been conned BIG TIME, and it has been 'all about money' and how big business could make more at the expense of our health.

    What then are the facts about fats? That is the subject of this important book in our Superfoods Series.

    Nutrient dense fats and oils can help your body produce and maintain healthy muscles, bones, organs, digestive tracts and brain functions. They are high in essential fatty acids and can improve your cardiovascular health, help prevent cancer and more. These may be called 'super fats and oils.'

    You will learn the facts of fats, why fats and oils are important, about Saturated Fats, Monounsaturated Fats, Polyunsaturated Fats, Omega-3’s, Omega-6’s, Omega-9’s and Trans Fats. And you will learn the concerns with Canola Oil and why we don’t recommend it.

    AND INSIDE: With this book, Get Smoothie Recipes for the Top 2 Killer Diseases!

      The Fats of Life - Karen C Groves

      PREFACE

      Why did I write this book as part of the Superfoods Series?

      I wrote it so that you would know the facts about fats, and the big deception about saturated fats. Truly, what you don’t know could kill you!

      There has been a lot of misinformation out there; as usual driven by vested money interests. For example, after 40 years, the director of the famous Framingham Heart Study had to admit:

      "In Framingham, Mass, the more saturated fat one ate, the more cholesterol one ate, the more calories one ate, the lower the person’s serum cholesterol . . . we found that the people who ate the most cholesterol, ate the most saturated fat, ate the most calories, weighed the least and were the most physically active."

      And there is more.

      Would you care to guess who benefited from this misinformation about cholesterol for these many years? And why did animal and tropical fats get such a bad rap in the buying public’s eyes?

      You are entitled to know the facts about fats, their nutritional value, their health benefits, and how to include them in your diet – from almond oil and animal fat, to walnut oil. You need to know why fats are important and what are some of the various types of fats.

      And since some folks have allergies to certain fats/oils, I’ve included a self-muscle testing method for potential allergy problems.

      FOREWORD TO THE SUPERFOODS SERIES

      What makes a superfood? Superfoods are found among fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, proteins and healthy fats. Usually, if a food is nutrient dense, then it can be considered a superfood.

      Nutrient dense for fruits and vegetables means that they are low in calories, high in nutrients and dietary fiber. For meats, fish and seafood it usually means high in nutrients and for some meats, low in fat. On the other hand, energy dense foods are higher in calories and have fewer nutrients. Compare a donut with an apple, and you will see what we mean. Although a donut tastes good, it has 200-300 calories, a fair amount of fat and few nutrients. An apple is low in calories, low in fat and has a lot of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. Although both may give you a feeling of fullness, the apple will actually feed and nourish your body long-term while the donut is short-term satisfaction mainly for your taste buds.

      What does this mean for you? For example, there are a number of fruits, vegetables and meats that have higher levels of Vitamin A and/or Lutein than other foods.  If you are having vision problems, you might want to add several of these high Vitamin A and Lutein rich items to your diet to help your body improve your vision.

      Vitamin A rich superfoods include liver of any animal, Bluefin tuna, clams, oysters, cayenne/paprika, sweet potatoes, carrots, dark leafy greens, butternut squash, red and green leaf lettuce, dried apricots, cantaloupe, fresh basil, fresh parsley and dried herbs.

      Lutein rich superfoods include Sardines, kale, spinach, dandelion greens, cayenne/paprika, turnip greens, Swiss chard, collard greens and mustard greens.

      Having your diet composed of mainly nutrient dense food will not only boost your health, it will help you gain and maintain a healthy weight as well.

      So what are the best superfoods? As you will soon learn, they are the organic superfoods. These are nutrient dense foods that include fruits, vegetables, legumes, proteins, grains, nuts and seeds, fats and oils. Meats, fish and seafood may be considered organic because of being fed organic food and receiving no hormones or antibiotics. They could also be classified as 'natural' meaning they are free range (grass fed) or caught in the wild.

      If you have some nutrition information from 20-30 years ago, such as an old cookbook, you might notice that some of the nutrients in mass-produced food grown today are at much lower levels. Vitamin A in some foods is nearly 50% less than that grown 40 years ago. The question is What is the decrease in nutrients doing to our bodies? Buying organic food may help in that regard.

      Eating a varied diet of fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, proteins and healthy fats is very important. Adding different superfoods to your regular diet will increase the
