The Types of “Good” Fats & Traditional Foods We Recommend for Your Diet
Many of the fats that we recommend are contrary to popular opinion as well as advice for many physicians. We still read in the media a lot about how saturated fats are so bad for us, causing heart disease, cancer and many other ills. However, we have also been reading lately how important it is to get enough of the fat soluble vitamins. In third world countries, vitamin A is routinely given to ensure that people don’t have problems with their vision. Vitamin D has also been getting a lot of press lately, how important it is in preventing cancer, amongst other things. Some articles will go on to say that Vitamin’s A & D are important, and found in cream and butter and liver, but then say that we have to stay away from these foods because of their high levels of saturated fats.
Well, the problem is, if you stay away from saturated fats, you will not get enough of the fat soluble vitamins in your diet to be healthy. So, if you are still afraid of eating too much saturated fats, we recommend that you go to the Weston Price website to read more information.
