Fat: The New Health Paradigm- Great new report!

INVEST IN BUTTER NOW? Great report on world wide future consumption of butter and meats/dairy…more support for Saturated fats! ( Also just saw proof elsewhere that when told to eat less fats in 1980 the nation DID…butter and eggs eating dropped many %..but we all got fatter anyway, more proof the USDA "Healthy Plate/Pyramid of 65% carbs/grains is nonsense for many. This report points to HIGH veggie oils (with inflammation causing Omega 6s) and higher carbs are the problem.

Changing Medical Evidence

Medical research is, however, gradually moving away from the recommendations just mentioned, according to the report "Fat: The New Health Paradigm," issued by the Credit Suisse Research Institute. This report is based on more than 400 medical research papers and books written by academics and industry experts, as well as two in-house surveys of doctors, nutritionists and consumers. Eating cholesterol, for instance, has basically no impact on the level of cholesterol in the blood or on potential heart diseases, and the link between saturated fat intake and cardiovascular risk has not been proved. "But we found that 40 percent of nutritionists and 70 percent of general practitioners surveyed believe that eating cholesterol-rich foods has damaging cardiovascular effects. This is not true, according to the extensive research that has become available in recent years," said Giles Keating……<snip>

A high intake of vegetable oils (containing omega-6 polyunsaturated fats) has not been proved to be as beneficial as earlier thought, and trans-fats have been shown to have negative effects on our health.

In short, saturated fats and monounsaturated fats are not behind the high rates of obesity and metabolic syndrome in the US. The two leading culprits are the higher intakes of vegetable oils and the increase in carbohydrate consumption.
