The truth behind the Low-Fat Fad.

For years people have believed that following a low-fat diet is the key to a healthy lifestyle. This mentality has been used to market low-fat diets and numerous low-fat 'food' products. Studies dating as far back as the 1940s began this view when an apparent link between high fat diets and cholesterol levels was discovered. Over time people have been led to believe that consumption of fat will cause high cholesterol levels, obestiy, heart disease and and early death. However, all this nonsense is now (FINALLY) being brought to light and people are seeing fat for the true miracle food it is and starting to appreciate the many health benefits it provides.

Dr Dwight Lundell, a former heart surgeon, wrote a report in which he admits that low-fat diets are actually responsible for destroying health. He explains why consuming fats in the correct balance is a key dietary pracrice necessary to prevent the ever increasing inflammatory bodies we are seeing responsible for so much disease today. In his report Dr Lundell states the biggest culprits of chronic inflammation:
"Quite simply, they are the overload of simple, highly processed carbohydrates (sugar, flour and all the products made from them) and the excess consumption of omega-6 vegetable oils like soybean, corn and sunflower that are found in many processed foods."

Cholesterol is not the bad guy, it is infact vital for life. It is following a low-fat omega-6 rich diet that is causing inflammtory damage which leads to arterial blockage. This then causes a build up of cholesterol as its natural pathways are obstucted which then leads to heart attacks and strokes.

So you can see where people got the idea from that high fat leads to high cholesterol which leads to heart disease. When samples were taken from patients who had suffered heart attacks of course cholesterol was found as a significant player in the blockage. BUT i hope you see now that without inflammation cholesterol would not be trapped and would not contribute towards a blockage.
So ditch the low-fat diet and start following an anti-inflammatory diet.
