WellSpring Wednesday - Good Fats, Bad Fats!

February 28, 2018

There is certain dietary advice that will crop up every so often, just when you think you've figured out what to eat.  Now another curve ball.  What do you do?  Start from scratch?  One of the most popular health and diet issues are fats and oils.  What is a good oil and which one causes heart disease?

Some say to compare is difficult.  It depends on which fats and what foods are eaten.  Along with quality, size and length of the studies. 

Before you make reservations at your favorite steakhouse, think again.  A team of experts, led by Dr. Frank M. Sacks, professor of cardiovascular disease prevention at the Harvard T.H. Chad School of Public Health, prepared an advisory which was published last June for the American Heart Association which may have seen a different outcome.

Especially noteworthy, this report explains how after decades of urging the American diets away from animal fats to lower heart disease, it actually promoted expanded waistlines and increased cases of Type 2 diabetes.

Finally, do not panic!  Jane E. Brody explains in detail in NYT, "Good Fats, Bad Fats" and has deciphered exactly what you should be eating to try to stay your healthiest!
