In Defense Of Low Fat

[Dan W]

Has Denise published the promised Part 2 yet? I can't find it anywhere, yet Part 1 was posted almost 7 months ago I think.

I don't think it's ready yet. If you have a wordpress.com account, you can "follow" the site to be notified of updates.

In the meantime an interim article just went up along the same macronutrient-debate lines:
Proteinaholic: Is it Time to Sober Up From Animal Foods? (A Review and Critique)

Yeah I think it's odd when people say they avoid pufa and then eat lots of butter or even cheese or egg. My go-to is coconut oil and I'm trying to find Palm Kernel oil to buy.

There is only a 1% difference in pufa content between coconut oil and dairy/beef fats...

Not to split hairs but it is like 2%. And I have a hunch that it is more than that because of the PUFA that the cows eat.

? Dairy fat averages like 2/3 sat fat at best (often less), coconut oil is more like 9/10s saturated

I can't wait for part two of her article

Has Denise published the promised Part 2 yet?

No need to wait any longer, an assurance about part 2 is here!

Jokes aside, she's written a raw, emotionally-honest article that I found well worth the read. Even though there's not a single link to Pubmed: If You’re Having a Hard Time, Read This.

Eating low fat is really the only method to ensure unsaturated fat consumption stays at a bare minimum. Period.
