Sorry, but I have to disagree with you, Demi. Sugar and worthless carb foods make one fat. Saturated fats are good for us especially when we are ill, because our bodies often cannot make them from any fatty acids we ingest. Our bodies were not designed to eat PUFA's like corn oil, etc. If one really checks the saturated fat and cholesterol studies that were done in the last 50 years, you would see the true conclusions of these studies. The more calories, the more saturated fat, and the more cholesterol one eats, the less heart disease and the healthier they are. We have been duped by the early American researchers that performed their studies trying to prove that their theories were correct. True scientific research means coming up with a hypothesis and then tries every means they can to prove it wrong. If it cannot be proved wrong, then the chances that the theory might be correct has great merit. Just see how much weight you can lose on a low-carb diet. This means eating lots of good meat from animals that have been fed correctly (not soy crud or chicken poop or any chemicals), berries, and many vegetables and nuts. Any farmer can tell you that when they feed their animals saturated fats like palm oil and coconut oil - they lose weight, but when they feed them soy bean oil, they gain weight.
