Why You Should Eat Fat and Avoid Fruits & Vegetables

Most books on nutrition assume everybody is the same. But it ain't so. We're all different. Yet we are told to avoid fat and eat fruits and vegetables as if there's no difference between us.

Whatever the problem, fat gets the blame. Heart attacks. Cancer. Obesity. Soaring petrol prices. It doesn't seem to matter. All would be well if only we switched to healthy vegetables, fruits and grains instead.

Fat Is Good

Let me inform you of a doctor approved diet for certain types of children. 90% of the calorie intake of the diet is made up of fat. Yet these kids are normal in weight and their cholesterol levels are only slightly higher than ideal. These children are afflicted with epilepsy. The diet helps to control their seizures.

The children might eat a meal consisting of chicken and carrots with butter and double cream. Not exactly your standard fare, but for the children and their families, it's what they require.

You're still not convinced are you? You think that's a special case. Surely we can make the general statement: fat is bad; fruits and vegetables are good?

It's not so simple. For some nutritionists the number one dietary deficiency is .....fat.

Saturated fat is often portrayed as the great enemy. The reality is that while it may not be the best type of fat to eat, humans are adapted to eat it. The real enemy are the fats that come from food processing. These foods give us far too much of the omega 6 and trans fats and far too little omega 3 fats from fish oils.

Avoid Those Vegetables

A Glasgow university professor warns us that the fastest growing cancer in the UK could be caused by eating vegetables. Professor McColl and his colleagues at Glasgow University believe that nitrate fertilisers may be responsible for seeing the incidence of throat cancer treble over the last 2 decades.

Buying organic is not the answer. They are also loaded with nitrate.

I could also talk about al the toxins, carcinogens and mutagens that occur naturally in fruits and vegetables. But I'll leave that for now.

I could also mention those people that are especially sensitive to carbs. They need to limit how much fruit and vegetables they eat because they effect their blood sugar levels. But we'll leave that alone as well.

I might even refer to those unfortunate people that have a sensitivity to foods like oranges, grapefruit, onions and tomatoes.

I could also mention those that are allergic to aspirin. The chemical which is contained within this drug is also high in vegetables and fruits.

Of course I'm not seriously telling you to avoid fruits and vegetables and eat fatty foods. I'm making the simple point that you are an individual, with nutritional requirements that are personal to you. There is no other person on earth that's like you, so don't let anybody tell you what to eat and drink. Get to know your own body and understand what makes it tick.

Don't listen to nutrition 'experts.' Listen to your body.
