Now every day we need some good fats, for a lot of reasons one of the worst things to come a long is the notion of a low fat diet, Good fats don’t make you fat.

1. Fats slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, thus making then good for diabetics and basically everyone else eating the food pyramid.

2. Fats are the backbone of your hormones. No fats, No hormones

3. Fats are needed for mineral absorption on the guts.

4. Fats help you absorb vitamins A,D,E, and K

5. Saturated Fats are stable to cook with unlike vegetable oils

6. Artery clogs are actually only 26% saturated fats the rest being unsaturated.

7. If you are still concerned about cholesterol you really, really need to read “The Cholesterol Myth”

I get this question almost every week so I thought I’d make it easier for you to use and see. I pulled this info from one of the most comprehensive books on fat ever written, “Know Your Fats” by Dr. Mary Enig

Good Fats:

These are the easiest to obtain and use
1. Butter
2. Lard
3. Extra Virgin Olive oil (Not “Pure”)
4. Coconut oil
5. Cod Liver oil (not for cooking)
6. Flax oil (just don’t cook with it)
7. RAW milk or cream (Not pasteurized, very tough to get. I use it whenever available)
If you have these go ahead and use them
8. Beef, chicken, goose or duck fat
9. Palm oil, sesame oils
10. Flax oil (just don’t cook with it)

Bad Fats:

Unless you are fond of cancer, heart disease, or immune system problems don’t use these oils.

1. Any “hydrogenated oil” (margarines, shortenings, etc.)
2. Any “vegetable” oil
3. Soy oil
4. Corn oil
5. Safflower oil
6. Cottonseed oil
7. Especially Canola oil
8. Sunflower oil

So what’s the difference?The first list is a list of natural occurring fats that have been around forever and used by every healthy population that ever existed before ours.

You might be thinking that there are some pretty natural things on the “Bad” list. It’s true, if you drive around Minnesota or Iowa you will find lots of corn and soybeans. Yes, they are natural but they have other properties that make them undesirable. The big one being, high levels of omega-6 fatty acids which promote inflammation and pain.

The 3 main problems with the “Bad” list:

They are either:
1. Heavily processed (that nasty hydrogenation)
2. Man-made (canola)
3. Or high in omega-6 fatty acids. (all of them)

Omega 6 fatty acids promote pain and inflammation. All of the patients I see don’t really need any more of that.

The three easiest ways to control pain on a daily basis are:

• taking omega 3 fatty acids


• chiropractic adjustments


• water

Lets explore the good fats

What else can I say, good fats are just that “good” for your body. They are natural fats that you body needs and uses to make everything from cell membranes to hormones. Did you realize your hormones are made from good ol’ cholesterol? One more added note about “good fats”. They should be from good sources. The animal fats should come from hormone and antibiotic free animals. Grass-fed would also be best. Also organic would make a significant difference for any of the fats.

The 3 easiest good fats to get and use

• Extra-virgin olive oil


• Coconut oil


• Butter (don’t let it smoke)

Lets explore the Standard Process side of fat

If you want a healthy body you need some fat. But some people need help digesting it to use it. If you burp after a meal with some fat in it, it is a nice subtle indicator you aren’t digesting fat well. Try some AF-Betafood from Standard Process and if you are really in bad shape, some Cholacol will often do the trick.

Paypal option now available. Sometimes I’m a little slow with the internet thing. Since most people on the internet have a Paypal account, I decided to make life a lot easier, if you would like to pay for supplements via Paypal, no problem. Just send any Paypal payments to extraaltman@gmail.com If you’d like that option just let me know with a Standard Process order.

This secret has been around for centuries.  Many other countries in the world have enjoyed these benefits without the USA ever taking notice until now. 

How would you like to:

-          Lose weight, and increase your metabolism.

-          Decrease your heart disease risk

o        Yes, you heard that right! (read on)

-          Improve digestive problems

-          Decrease illness from bacteria, viruses, and fungus.

-          Improve thyroid function.

 

My thought for the moment.  I find it so ironic that people are tricked into believing that soy is the savior oil for all problems, yet it slows down the thyroid.  And this health secret is shunned and made virtually unavailable, yet it improves thyroid function.

 

So what am I talking about?

 

If you go back to May 20, 2003 edition of

 

“Women’s World” they called it a

 “miracle food” because of some

of the reasons listed above. 

 

I first learned about the outstanding qualities of coconut oil from Mary Enig’s book, “Know Your Fats”.  She is one of the world authorities on fats and cholesterol.  I think one of the reasons she is so well respected is because she is NOT bought and paid for by FOOD INDUSTRY MONEY.

The world’s healthiest oil is coconut oil. 

 

Yes, for many of you, you have been avoiding this like the plague because of the “no-fat” craze of the past few decades.  This lunacy was fueled primarily by the corn oil industry.  Corporate profit can all too often overshadow science.

 

Coconut oil has a small structure than other saturated fats, so it goes right to your liver to be converted to energy.  This gives it less stress on your pancreas, liver, and your whole digestive system.

 

It is one of the best sources for lauric acid.   Mary Enig Ph.D says “lauric acid turns into monolaurin in the gut and this is what keeps infants fed human milk from getting sick even when they are exposed to lipid coated viruses and various pathogenic organisms.”   This is a proven bacteria, virus, and fungus fighter.  So in this day and age of new viruses, the better your immune system the healthier you will be.  “The AIDS virus is killed by monolaurin” says Dr. Enig.

 

MOST Common Myth about coconut oil

-Coconut oil will increase heart disease.

 

If coconut oil caused heart disease then there would be no Polynesian or Asian people left, they would have all died off from heart attacks.  Yet, there are more people living in Asia than anywhere else.

 If you want to read a lot about how saturated fats can save your life and improve your cholesterol and heart disease.  This site is for you.  

 

One last thing comment.  If coconut oil was bad for you, do you think they would put it in baby formulas?  Babies use lauric acid from mother’s milk to improve their immune systems.  This is one reason breast fed babies are healthier than bottle fed babies.  So to try and duplicate this, formula makers add coconut oil to their formulas.

               Some ways the Altman’s use coconut oil

 

1.       In place of other oils.  For instance, if you made muffins you could use coconut oil 1 for 1 for another oil or use half coconut oil and half butter

 

2.       It’s the most stable cooking/ frying oil.  For instance, vegetable oil turns into a toxic cocktail of “funny fats” and trans-fats when it is heated up.  It is much better to use coconut oil.

 

3.       We add it to juices or smoothies. (yummy, my kids love it too!) I eat it by the spoonful (although my wife can’t do this.)

 

There are a lot of antioxidants in coconut oil.  It helps to prevent sagging and wrinkled skin.  The oil is absorbed into the skin and connective tissues to keep them strong and supple.

 

Hey, one more thing, this only applies to virgin coconut oil.  Like anything else, quality is everything.
