Lessons from Jon Barron The Primary Fats    In this week's excerpt from Lessons from the Miracle Doctors, Jon Barron lays out the primary fats you need to deal with. "Is fat bad for you? Hardly; in fact, it's essential for good health! Fats are the ultimate energy storage system. Your body stores fat for long-term energy use. Think of bears that live off their fat for months at a time while they hibernate in winter. On the other hand, if you're eating every day, your body doesn't really need to store fat for future use, so what is necessary for survival for bears can be a quick ticket to the cemetery for humans. Nevertheless, even though excess fat of the wrong kind may be deadly, certain fats are essential for life and health and are required in sufficient quantities. To understand the real story behind fats, it's worth approaching the issue from two angles, commonsense and biochemistry. But first, since, as they say, you can't tell the players without a scorecard, here are the players: Saturated Fats Meat (Grain Fed), Dairy, Chocolate, Coconut Oil, And Palm Oil Essential Fatty Acids (Polyunsaturated Fats) Omega-6 fatty acids Linoleic acid: Safflower, sunflower, corn, hemp, soybean, walnut, pumpkin, canola, and sesame oils Arachidonic acid: Via synthesis from linoleic acid and consumption of grain-fed meat Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA): Black currant seeds and evening primrose oil Dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA): Brown algae Omega-3 fatty acids Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA): Flaxseed, canola oil, hempseeds, greens, walnuts and soy, range-fed meat, cage-free eggs Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA): Fish, marine animals, algae, and from the breakdown of ALA Monounsaturated Fats Omega-9 fatty acids Olives and avocados Hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils are artificial creations, and the primary source of trans-fatty acids. Once promoted as a healthy alternative to saturated fats by the medical establishment, they are now recognized as one of the primary killers in our diets. It's also important to understand that most substances that contain fats or oils actually have more than one kind. Canola oil, for example, contains omega-3s, -6s, and -9s. Meat contains not only saturated fat, but also omega-6s and -3s. The table shows the predominant fat that each food provides." ------ We hope you enjoyed this week's excerpt from Lessons from the Miracle Doctors.
