I just recently went back to real butter and I season with bacon grease, if I die sooner, I’ll be happier before I die.
No surprise to me.
I’ve always thought that previous studies that showed a risk were rendered useless by lumping artificial trans fatty acids in the same category with natural saturated fats.
You’re better off just eliminating white flour and all sugar from your diet.
Once you do that it is amazing how much better other foods taste, and how much better you physically feel.
Carbs are converted to fat. That is why consuming a lot of sugar will make people fat.
In other words, all those “FAT FREE” label markings on sugary foods, are meaningless, and misleading.
why aren’t more cows dropping dead of heart attacks?
because they are dropping dead because we want to eat them
Butter not only tastes better than margarine, it melts at a lower temperature, is easier to digest, and one can use less to the same effect....yeah, less...HA!
Bacon fat and lard also melt at a lower temperature and taste better.
Real or not, like this study. Fits the “eat ‘right’ (some dispute here), stay fit, die anyway” paradigm.
Animal protein, butter, veg, fiber, some complex carbs....BGL looking pretty good. Your mileage may vary.
“There are many other causes including genetics, inflamation, bacteria, old age, etc. “
not getting enough omega 3’s may be part of it.
Why does it seem that my vegetarian friends seem to crave sugary things so bad? Could it be that too low of a fat or protein diet causes sugar cravings?

bacon and eggs !
Have a good french meal and - even with the small portions - you won’t be hungry until tomorrow.
Actually, the beef that we eat is mostly fed a mixture of corn and high carbohydrate grains. You can buy range-fed beef (cattle that eat grass only) and it is very lean; scarcely any fat at all. The last time I looked, range-fed ground beef was selling for about $6 a pound.
It is the high intake of cheap carbohydrates - refined sugar, potatoes, corn, most grains including rice; anything white and is sold in a cardboard box - that is responsible for causing fat in the animal or person eating it.
I do know that your body needs fat in the diet to perform certain processes at the cellular level that keep us healthy. And, I'm convinced that removing fat from your diet causes malfunctions in the brain (Alzheimer) because the synapses require fat to function properly.
The most obese people around always say that they are on low fat diets which generally means that they are consuming vast amounts of simple carbhodrates; refined sugar, potatoes, grains including rice; anything in the grocery store that is sold in a cardboard box and soft drinks.
I don’t know.
I eat a lot of meat - beef and chicken - at minimum, half a pound each day.
I also crave sugar.
Right now, in my personal confection cabinet, is a bag of Kit-Kat, five large Cadbury chocolate bars, a box of butter mints, a bag of Island (coconut-chocolate candy) and a bag of Snickers, all of which were purchased a week ago. I don’t expect any of this remaining, by the end of next week, and I’m the only one consuming it.
Am I a sugar addict?

Thank you, I needed that this morning...

LOL! Made my day. Also made me hungry for a hunk of protein. Will now forage for food.
