Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Ive been reading some views on fats by such authors/phd's as ray peat & mary enig, and what ive found is that everything ive known to be true about saturated/unsaturated fat may be false. To sum up their views, the vegetable sourced polyunsaturated oils are an unatural, unstable, and disease causing, more than even hydrogenated fats. Whereas your oils like coconut oil are more fitting a tropical primate such as Man. Im not a doctor or a scientist, and im trying to understand all of this new data, but just from what ive noticed in everday life, maybe there is something to this. Leave a unsaturated oil like a soybean oil salad dressing in a bowl for too long and it hardens like an oil based paint, (which are seed based oils). Where coconut oil stays liquid and stable at any temp over 76 degrees. So which one would one presume would be damaging to arteries? I always assumed saturated, but just by its physical properties, how could this be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 We've discussed Enig, Mercola etc before. Their " views " are not backed up scientifically. on 3/2/2004 8:16 PM, johnrod365 at johnrod365@... wrote: > Ive been reading some views on fats by such authors/phd's as ray > peat & mary enig, and what ive found is that everything ive known to > be true about saturated/unsaturated fat may be false. > > To sum up their views, the vegetable sourced polyunsaturated oils > are an unatural, unstable, and disease causing, more than even > hydrogenated fats.
