The only high fat foods you could be speaking of in that regard is the unpasture fed animals. But one can avoid this by getting meat from pasture fed animals.

Also this is not nearly all the fats that were mentioned and your comments simply do not include butter, extra virgin olive oil, organic virgin coconut oil, fish oil etc. The good fats have nourished people for centuries. The new age no fat, low fat diets that we now have pushed upon us these days and never has their been so much obesity and health problems, but is it any wonder when they are not getting what they need .

I recall I went on a low fat diet and I ended up fatter, plus I was hungry all the time and I had no idea why. I kept going because I was of the mindset of today that this is what I should be doing. Finally, realising I was worse for wear I gave up and went back to my normal fat intake and those things resolved. Admittedly my fat intake was the good fats, though I really didn't know it at the time. I just knew that trying to go low fat or no fat was not working for me and increasing problems, rather than helping.

Interestingly enough, I got into eating a certain brand of potatoe chips quite often. They were done in the typical hardened vegetable oil. Being young and not really taking notice much of my diet at that point, I liked them, so I ate them. Not long after this, I began to get some concerning symptoms. I had pain or like a pressure shooting up my left arm, plus had feelings of faintness, almost like light headedness. Anytime I stopped the chips, it seemed to subside. I tried agian and sure enough the problem returned. So I stopped having them. Yet I can eat all the other kinds of fats etc and I get no such symptoms. So yes it is definitely the kinds of fat we consume and the worst are trans fats/hardened vegetable oils. They were the ones that produced those symptoms on me.

I know someone who went on the low fat, no fat diet and yeah they lost weight, they also looked sicker along with it. I've heard about people doing this and their skin can suffer for it also. The brain is made up of fat, the skin, and yet so often these days we are starving our body of the right kind and instead eating the wrong kind or not having enough fat at all.

The mainstream way of eating today has caused far more problems. Just like the mainstream dentists who tell us mercury is safe.

Jill I have no idea if you have taken anytime to read the links I sent, but I will provide another one here.

You can then take a look at any of the subjects listed, and which ones are ones that might answer some of your doubts on fats or the amount etc. This information by the way is not from unqualified sources. Dr Weston Price is well known for his studies on nutrition and applying his advice and seeing the results is evidence in itself.
