7 Reasons to Eat More Saturated Fat (Tim Ferriss)

Nota: Tenha em atenção ao debate que se seguiu nos comentários a este artigo.

Alguns comentários:

"There is some evidence that saturated fat raises LDL somewhat. But there is no conclusive evidence that elevated LDL (or any other lipid parameter, for that matter) causes heart disease. That’s why even the so-called experts still refer to it as the lipid hypothesis: because it has never been proven.

Evidence that is still not conclusive but still stronger than the notion that elevated LDL causes heart disease rests more with the size of the LDL particles. Small, dense LDL particles, the type B phenotype, are much more highly correlated with the development of coronary artery disease than are the larger, fluffier type A particles. Fewer carbohydrates in the diet along with more saturated fat drive LDL particles from the dangerous type Bs to the non-dangerous type As."

IT’S ABOUT F***ING TIME someone made this known to the world (please pardon the caps, just a bit excited).

For so long I’ve been hearing about more and more people preaching the low meat, low fat lifestyle which is 95% bogus due to the nutritional needs of the human physiology (the extra 5% is for people who actually have medical dietary restrictions). It is so refreshing and reinvigorating to hear/read about the definite benefits of meat and fats. Of course, one must always practice moderation, common sense people!

Fats are not only good for you (in rational quantities) but they add tons of flavor to the meat when cooking.

Tim,
You must be absolutely thrilled with the debate that this post has caused – it seems food is the new ‘politics or religion’ when it comes to topics that spark an argument -everyone has an absolutely well researched, deeply held belief and they are all totally contrary to one another! I can only think that this is a great thing – the sooner more of us care about what we are putting into our mouths the less likely the industrialised food supply will continue to dominate our mouths and stomachs and therefore our health. I totally love this type of post from you. Thanks.

If cholesterol was so bad for you why would your body produce it? And why would breast milk be loaded with it?? hmmm. All this talk about LDL and HDL cholesterol is bogus too. Yes saturated fat raises LDL…and HDL! And the formation of LDL is “large and fluffy” not small and dense which are the dangerous kind promoted by a high carb diet. LDL (low density lipo-protein, not actually cholesterol) play a vitally important job by sending cholesterol (a major structural building block for cell membranes and sex hormones) to tissues. They don’t just look for the nearest place to stick and kill you!

Have any of you heard of the essential carbohydrates? Me neither! Last time I checked there were only essential amino acids and essential fatty acids!

Too think you can substitute real food (meat) with “food products” (soy dogs, and other vegetarian garbage) that come in a box is borderline insane.

Please tell me you guys don’t eat the “heathly choice” margarine too?

The only person that is going to benefit from good health is YOU! These great studys that you fall back on are usually paid for by big drug companys and other organizations. They get the scientists to find what they want and it makes them money. Its all about the money. Food Guides? Money.

margarine+high carb diet+birth control= Cancer

Finally, if you wonder what all the saturated fat (lots of meat, and coconut fat too, and butter, and lard…) has done to my bloodwork:

LDL: 66
HDL: 134 (yes, you read that right)
TRG: 47
