Duncan please clarify

Duncan:

Am I misreading what you're saying? Are you saying that we should eat LESS

saturated fat to live longer? Read what you said below.

Thanks Bonnie,

Palm oil has a fair bit of saturated fat in it; saturates don't

oxidize well. The other research I posted pointed out that the lower

the saturates in the diet the longer the lifespan due to the lower

oxidation rate of the mammal eating them.

Bonnie, I corrected the typo in my post below a few days ago; guess

you missed that post in our discussions,as well as the many others in

the last year you referred to previously, and I'm sorry for the

confusion the missing information has caused you.

The research I posted and later commented on with the typo found that

long-lived mammals live longer when dietary UNsaturated and

polyunsaturated oils are lower and saturated fats are higher.

Perhaps you missed my original post that linked to the data; it and

other research on fats has been on my coconut oil page since 2002. Try

the oils analysis worksheet on that page for more information on the

peroxidation of some food oils:
