High fat diets and methylation

[Guest guest]

I've found the following at LEF web site (a link I have is not valid

anymore, and I can't a new one):

" High fat diets, among other factors, decrease methylation. This decline

in methylation is directly related to the physical decline associated

with aging. "

Does anyone know if this is true? I am asking this because I've heard

methylation is a very important process and needs to be supported. If

this is so and since were a getting lots of fat, do we get enough

compensators with NT?

I hesitate to make comment on this as an isolated quote and not

having any idea where its from, who said it or how they arrived at

the conclusion. However just on the face of it is a good topic

anyway. The answer to your question is " yes but " . Fats do not cause

this problem. Really poor digestion and assimilation cause this.

Just like the people out there saying high protein diets are bad for

kidneys. Well the truth is proteins have no problem with kidneys and

vice versa. However start eating lots of protein after not eating

much for several years, have poor digestion and assimilation and you

bet your going to have a kidney problem. The same holds true when

fat consumption is high and it is not digested or assimilated

properly so as always seems to be true with these silly blanket

statements about essential foods that have been eaten since the

beginning of time. There is nothing wrong with the remedy, the

problem, especially at this time is the person receiving the remedy.

It really is another great caution for all people who are re-

discovering the needs for high quality fats and proteins, that they

must digest and assimilate well.

The Masai certainly will prove my next statement wrong, however it is

clear that even in NT circles I have seen at times folks who still

are not eating enough plant food. We all love the protein in the

meats and the fats ooooh so good but one factor in reference to this

topic is that the plants we eat are essential and need to be focused

on to be placed in the diet daily and almost to excess.

Roman if you can find the link or article again I'd like to see it.

The real story is your fats are fine, but are you?:-)))

This MAY be true of diets high in cooked fat, although I doubt it unless

you have problems with your digestion and assimilation, but it certainly

is not true of diets high in raw fats, like butter, cream, eggs and

coconut, which are soothing and healing to the body and easy to digest.
