Guest guest Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Hi folks: One thing I would find very helpful, but I doubt anyone has done it, is a full listing of ALL the fats ever likely to be consumed by people in industrialized countries. Along with what are currently believed to be the health effects of each (and whether there is empirical evidence for these beliefs!), the foods that contain them, and approximate amounts (high/medium/low, perhaps). I first realized this when Warren warned me here a few weeks ago that the saturated fats in coconut are believed to be beneficial. How many other weird and wonderful fats are there that I have never heard of that it would be helpful to know about? It seems we need to go beyond the 'mono', 'poly', 'sat' and 'trans' labels. But is there a good source for this? Rodney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
