A More Vegetarian Argument Among health experts who are not persuaded by the good saturated fat and cholesterol argument are Dr. Neal Barnard, president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, and Dr. Andrew Weil, founder and director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine. Both physicians are also widely published and internationally known speakers.
Barnard remains adamant that meat is unhealthy, regardless of whether you point a finger at saturated fat, cholesterol, the fact that many vitamins are not found in meat, the absence of fiber, or the presence of arachidonic acid (which promotes inflammation). These factors can increase a persons risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, colon cancer, and diabetes, he notes.
Interesting article, and the excerpt I posted above was automatically ignored.

Making a blanket statement that anything is “good for you,” always, is erroneous. Has animal protein and fat been unfairly maligned? Yes, along with dairy butter, salt and any number of other former staples of the typical American diet. All carbohydrates are not bad either, though. It really depends upon your particular genetic heritage, physical issues and requirements, as well as your level of activity and exercise. The pendulum is about to swing wildly back in the other direction, “experts” are weighing in, fad diets galore are already arising in opposition to the former low fat regime, it’s all just so counterproductive. I say this as a person who inadvertently went on a diet very similar to Atkins in order to clear up a case of gout. I succeeded in doing so and haven’t had it since. I also lost a lot of weight that I needed to lose. So, it does “work.” If you’re like me and most, though, you’re heading for a carb crash in about six months, so some carbohydrates are necessary, at least a small amount.

Has animal protein and fat been unfairly maligned?How long ago was that? It seems like lately, for a while, you here the exact opposite. Around here, I only hear that all carbohydrates are poison, and vegetables will kill you.
The pendulum is about to swing wildly back in the other direction
Which way would that be?

OH!.. the despised “Lucky Charms”! 😆

Maligned ? Only where Sheep and camel mix together , and then you get a she-mel !
Here in the colonies , we call them "trannies"
or in a good mood , we call them "Confused " !!
Both keep the Islamofacists at bay.., thinking of home ..

No, they really aren't. Are you saying that animal protein and fat have been unfairly maligned, that idea went out of favor a long time ago. Since 2000, it's been at the other extreme. A lot of Freepers say any carbohydrates are poison.
I'm surious about you saying, "The pendulum is about to swing wildly back in the other direction." Since the pendulum is way on the side of protein and fats are good, and carbohydrates are bad, and it's been that way for more than 15 years, you are saying it will swing to the opposite?
To: nickcarraway
Saturated fat from clean healthy animals or good quality plants is good for you. Period. Enjoy it.

None of the macronutrients are bad. Proteins, fats, and carbs are all important.
However, you must choose clean, least pesticide ridden, least feed lot style grown, plants and animals from which to create your body. You can’t keep any sort of health on processed frankenfoods.
