Guest guest Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Even in basic physiology, we get to study digestion of fats. In basic class we all learn that fat is converted to other things, and doesn't get stored as fat. We learn that too much fat can't even be consumed as this gets passed through intestines as we can only absorb a fixed amount per consumption. We see it will cause loose stools if we eat too much. We see also that ever cell in our body needs fat, nerve sheaths needs fat, Krebs cycle burns fat,we see hundreds of various metabolic reactions that are carried out through, by, and becaue of fat uitilization. What happens when gentically we cannot manufacture just one single kind of fat, the results are horrendous and catastrophic, see genetic disorders of fat metabolism. Finally, look at our food pyramid,...brought to us in order to bring about good health. Ever since we started using food pyramid,...what has happened to disease? Diabetes, stroke, heart disease, cancer, digestive diorders have all increased steadily. The worse these numbers become, the more they shove that pyramid down our throats. On the other hand the Mediteranian Paradox studies prove all of the above. Carbohydrate can kill, fat doesn't! see Spanish Paradox study. We need fats in our diets.
