We have been given misinformation regarding dietary fats by the Food and Drug Administration. Saturated fat has been a huge part of the diet of the homo sapiens species for the last 25,000 years. It's only been in the last 1/10 of 1% (5000 years) where agriculture has gradually replaced fats with glucose sugars (from complex carbohydrates), that our source of fuel for humans have dramatically changed.
Many experts on nutrition and holistic medicine today are coming to realize the importance of healthy fats in our diet. The distressing thing is -- the nutritional advice we are given regarding (the elimination of) fat in our diet has not been corroborated by any evidence to support it. L.A. Corr and M.F. Oliver, in their book, "The Low Fat/Low Cholesterol Diet is Ineffective," say, "The commonly held belief that the best diet for prevention of coronary heart disease is a low saturated fat, low cholesterol diet is not supported by the available evidence from clinical trials."
A diet consisting of saturated, monounsaturated and essential polyunsaturated fats such as omega-3 has been sustained by our paleo ancestors since the dawn our species. It has only been since the advent of industrialization and better refining processes that highly polyunsaturated vegetable oils, grain-fed (rather than grass-fed) meats, farmed seafoods (rather than wild), and partially hydrogenated oils have become our primary fat sources. I don't believe that it's just a coincidence that our species has not seen the levels of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, or cancer that we see today. It is estimated that 1,529,560 people around the world died from cancer in 2010. That's 4200 people dying every single day.
Americans spend 17% of our GDP on healthcare. That's roughly double what other countries spend. So, if we're spending $1.2 Trillion a year, why are we dying in droves? I believe that it all stems from our diet. As a society, we are addicted to sugar. And all processed foods are mostly sugar because they contain HFCS (high fructose corn syrup). It's not a coincidence that cancer feeds and thrives on sugar. And sugar makes your body more acidic so that cancer can flourish more easily.
Ketones are energy units of fat that the brain requires for optimum function and health. The diet of our paleo ancestors depended on them for fuel. By shifting our dependency from sugar to ketones, we will be returning to the way our body's were meant to metabolize foods. Returning to the paleo diet is the only way to reverse the dramatic increase of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. There is no magic pill coming, no instant cure on the horizon, despite the billions of dollars a year given to disease research. That's all a waste of money, time, and energy. It all begins with the knowledge of our physiology, metabolism, hormones, and a genetically compatible diet.
