Saturated Fats Facts

I noticed this Los Angeles Times article – about saturated fats facts. Here is a key part of it, showing how there has been a long term deception of consumers regarding saturated fat nutrition facts.

I’m also sharing an article here about High Fructose Corn Syrup and liver damage.

These are important topics if you’re looking for something like the No Nonsense Ted diet system. CLICK HERE to learn about it now.

Cutting out sugars and carbs, and getting meal plans and recipes full of nourishing foods and healthy fats is the way to escape obesity and restore damaged metabolism.

Emphases are mine, in both articles.

Saturated Fat Nutrition Facts

Saturated Fat Won’t Kill You

“Somewhere between 10,000 and 53,000 people were tested on diets where saturated fats were replaced by unsaturated vegetable oils. The results did not turn out as expected — saturated fats weren’t killing people.

In a stunning example of science ignored, researchers, either unable or

unwilling to believe the study outcomes, did not talk about this data for decades. The results of one of the forgotten trials, a large NIH-funded study, were not published for 16 years. Another analysis that failed to link saturated fats with heart disease, part of the famous “Framingham Study,” languished, also unpublished, in an NIH basement.”

Recently I heard from Al Sears, M.D. a leading edge medical doctor in research and development of natural products. He makes a good case for reversing obesity here:

“July 21, 2017

Dianne,

Most people think liver disease only happens to alcoholics.

But the truth is that being overweight or obese actually puts you at a much higher risk for liver damage than alcohol.

In fact, alcohol contributes to only 6% of liver damage. But obesity contributes to 52% of liver disease.

And if you’re obese, you’re 400% more likely to develop liver damage than a normal-weight individual.

That’s why about 30% of people in America have some form of chronic fatty liver disease. It’s called non–alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD causes painful swelling and scarring of the liver.

And I blame modern food companies. Our food supply is now drenched in Big Agra’s high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS).

Just like alcohol, HFCS is toxic to the liver. Unlike other sugars it goes straight to your liver. It doesn’t go into your muscles and tissues for energy. It promotes the formation of new fat molecules. It triggers your liver cells to store this fat where it doesn’t belong.

Our food is also loaded with bad fats, chemicals, preservatives and additives that are very hard for your liver to metabolize.

All these toxins inflame your liver and give you NAFLD. But it gets worse…

NAFLD can progress an even more deadly form known as non-alcoholic

steatohepatitis (NASH). About 10% to 30% of NAFLD patients develop NASH. And they are more likely to die from their liver disease. NASH can progress to hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver cancer or liver failure.

And here’s the tragedy… Mainstream medicine has no effective drug or other treatment for this condition.

I’ve been recommending a simple nutrient to my patients for years. One that protects the heart, brain, liver and more.”

You can read about his natural supplement here. And now more about how:

High Fructose Corn Syrup Effects Obesity

“The rise of HFCS

High fructose corn syrup production begins with making syrup from cornstarch. This initial stage corn syrup^† is mostly glucose, and you can find it in the supermarket (pro tip: mix with red food coloring to make cheap and very convincing fake blood). This syrup is then isomerized (i.e., atoms shuffled around) to convert some of the glucose into fructose…”

(This article continues to describe the actual chemistry of it.)

“…This fine tuning of HFCS manufacturing occurred during a period in

sign stating list of products with no high fructose corn syrup — source.

U.S. history when sugar was becoming more expensive (in part due to trade restrictions) and corn cheaper. Farm subsidies encouraging farmers to produce as much corn as possible resulted in excess supply and thus falling prices. Manufacturers stood to save money by switching to corn-based ingredients. In 1980, Coca-Cola began using HFCS in its beverages, and by the mid 80s most other soft drink companies had followed suit.”

This excellent report continues to discuss the sucrose/glucose/fructose subjects, the US soda consumption issue, and the obesity factor as related to HFCS, or high fructose corn syrup.

Here is a video by Dr. Joseph Mercola explaining the historical misunderstanding about saturated fats, and how the right fats are good for you.

The No Nonsense Ted material reveals a plethora of medical studies from which Ted has collected his up-to-date nutritional information and collated it with traditional tried and true low carb/high protein/healthy fat lifestyle diet.

Yet I thought it would be easier for you to peruse this material. I hope you enjoyed those articles and feel encouraged to –
