Thanks Dr. Doug for the good points, they make perfect sense. I'm
one week on 80/10/10 and feeling great. But I have a respectful
criticism.
You said in your response that "you can prove anything in a lab". So
shouldn't we also apply that rule to "studies" on saturated fat?
-
When we look at real cultures from around the world, cannot we
conclude that 'useless at best' is not an accurate description for
saturated fat, assuming that the persons in question keep daily fat
intake somewhere around 10% per day (or at least below 20%)?
-
Some quite recent lab "studies" conclude that several saturated fatty
acids evidently have real benefits as part of the everyday diet, and the
actual world appears to corroborate these findings.
-
The saturated fat arena may reveal room for improvement in the
80/10/10 diet. I mean we are all always learning and refining based
on new knowledge.
