Lessons from Jon Barron The Four Primary Fat Myths    In this week's excerpt from Lessons from the Miracle Doctors, Jon Barron begins his discussion of fats by identifying the four primary myths currently promoted by the medical community. "It wasn't that long ago that fat was the number one culprit in our diets. Every doctor and food commercial on TV promoted low-fat, lean foods. And we responded: fat consumption in Western society dropped significantly over the last twenty years. But surprisingly, obesity soared at exactly the same time, to the point that the U.S. is now among the fattest countries in history (with the rest of the world working hard to catch up). What was wrong with the fat theory? Aren't fat calories bad for you and don't they contribute to obesity? The answer is no—at least not when stated in such simplistic terms. As it turns out, there are good fats and bad fats, and I'm not talking about unsaturated and saturated fats. Again, why anyone would listen to the medical establishment when it comes to diet and nutrition is still mind-boggling to me. Listening to a doctor about nutrition just because they went to medical school is like listening to a plumber about your clogged arteries just because they specialize in cleaning out clogged pipes. The current dogma promoted by the medical community when it comes to fat is: Fat is bad. Saturated fat is bad. Trans-fat is bad. (A complete reversal on their part, incidentally, over the last ten years.) If you have to eat fat, polyunsaturated vegetable oils are the way to go. These are the bottled oils you buy in the store (corn oil, canola oil, and safflower oil). Omega-3 fatty acids are probably good for you, but the alternative health community is moving much too fast in adding these fats to all kinds of food. But it turns out that the truth is quite different. With that in mind, next week we'll explore the reality behind the facts." ------ We hope you enjoyed this week's excerpt from Lessons from the Miracle Doctors.
