I don't know about all that caffeine! That's an awful lot of cocoa!

I usually say that I try not to eat anything with a label. But, I think I

like " eat what once moved around " MUCH BETTER!

Thanks for posting this!

Healthy food: Should we be eating more fat?

For breakfast, Barry Groves had an extra large egg and a 3oz slice of

liver, fried in lard. He washed it down with a cup of cocoa made with

double cream.

At lunch, Barry, 72, who lives near Oxford with his wife , 70,

will enjoy pork chops, with the fat left on, plus a few green

vegetables in butter.

Finally, the couple will have a light supper consisting of cheese

with a home-grown apple or pear, topped with cream, followed by more

cocoa...

His advice is: " Cut down on bread and eat more fish, eggs, butter -

I'm finding fat is key to a healthy diet for me - if I eat enough

healthy fat I'm good, but if I don't I crave carbs. Starting the day

off with a good amount of fat and keeping the intake on the high side

gives me good energy. If I'm out and get hungry, I tend to go for

fatty foods if I'm not thinking about it, and I'd guess others do

too - how else can those nasty french fries sell so well??? But

fatty foods away from home - that often aren't healthy fats, make me

feel sick; only the healthy fats make me feel good.

Renate, that's a good point. When eating out, be careful about which

fatty foods you eat. Stick with animal foods, vegetables, and fruit

and avoid dressings and sauces which are typically loaded with

vegetable oil high in PUFA. Most desserts and baked goods are also

high in PUFA and trans-fats, with the exception of ice cream. In many

restaurants you have to ask for real butter or they give you margarine.

When you eat carbs, always have them with lots of good fat to minimize

the blood sugar spike. Load that baked potato with butter, cheese,

sour cream, and bacon bits. Use lots of butter on breads. Have some

queso, guacamole, or butter with tortillas or beans.

Someone who knows that I subscribe to the price doctrine emailed me

something a while ago and I also read it on another website, that

eating a lot of fat (saturated) hinders the body's use of iodine. I

am wondering if this is insignificant or if you are iodine sufficient

then you don't have to worry about it or what other possibilities

are. I am trying to figure out how to incorporate this information.

, I'd be really surprised if it was saturated fat causing

problems with iodine metabolism. I would expect to see problems with

too much trans-fat and/or polyunsaturated fat. In many older studies,

trans-fats were used, but called " saturated " fat, which is not

correct. Also, high fat diets nowadays tend to have way too much

polyunsaturated fat, as well as trans-fat, mainly because of the false

vilification of saturated fat. Most packaged/processed foods

advertise " low in saturated fat " , but many of them are high in

polyunsaturated fat. Bad news for national health!

That's good to know.

About the iodine, I need to find the article but I know it had

something to do with saturated fats not having double bonds which

affects iodine absorption in some way.
