Something truly epic happened today that is going to change what you eat for years to come. Truly epic.
The Journal of the American College of Cardiology published a groundbreaking paper today admitting the following:
This new paper, which uses data from studying 135,000 people overtime, finds:
-Saturated fat from meat and dairy do not cause an increase in
cardiovascular disease and reduce stroke risk.
-Polyunsaturated fats increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
-Different fats do different things
-Cutting saturated fat does not reduce death rates
-25% of people eating the highest saturated fat intake (about
~14% of calories) had lower risk of stroke
-Only 5% of fat should be polyunsaturated for lowest death
This is effectively a deathblow to vegan and plant-based practices, which make people sick over time because they contain almost all polyunsaturated fats. (It takes 2 years to replace half your cell membrane fats when you change your diet.)
For the record: grass-fed butter and MCT oil, are saturated fats. They are the good guys.
In the meantime, it’s safe to ask someone to pass the butter. Just make sure it’s grass-fed!
