Re: Pain Patient Health Choices /Bennie

[Guest guest]

Hi Bennie,

Yes, I am very familiar with the recommendations on saturated fat, that you

mention. I used to follow those guidelines. Well, as I stated before, I got more

and more sick-gained weight, got chronic pain, blood sugar problems, high blood

pressure, social anxiety, depression. My diet was fruits, vegetables, whole

grains, low saturated fats, and low fat dairy, and very little sugar, and

processed foods. That sounds good, what is recommended, however, it did not work

for me, and has not worked for many other people.

It is not easy for people to lose their fear of saturated fat,it helps to see

that not all scientists, biologists, doctors, believe a high carbohydrate, low

fat diet is healthy. I know there is controversy, in this. You would have to

spend many hours in low carbohydrate forums related to diabetes, chronic pain,

and losing weight forums to see how they, like me improved their health by

cutting way down on carbohydrates, and increased their saturated fats to high

levels.

There is plenty of science behind using this diet for health. My health has

improved greatly after 3 years on this diet.

I like others, had to have my questions /concerns addressed before I could lose

my fear of fat.

Yudkin, MD said it was sugar, not fat that was the cause of heart disease

many years ago.

Feinman, biologist, who has been interviewed on Fox news about

whether the current recommendations are healthy or not.

Dr Jay Wortman, himself a diabetic, who did a study using a traditional high

fat, very low carbohydrate diet. A documentary of the study can be viewed.

C. Wallace-on treating mitochondria related diseases. The info on using

the ketogenic diet was about 1/2 way down. Also the Abstract talks about

ketosis. C Wallace is well known for studying mitochondrial diseases,

and now works for a Children's hospital in Philadelphia.

This is particularly of interest.

If you continue to believe that saturated fat is bad for you, and others, then I

am sorry to hear that, as you will never experience any of the benefits they can

impart to you.

> Yes, you do need some fat in your diet for good health. Fat supplies essential

fatty acids and helps your body absorb the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.

But a diet high in saturated fat and, to a lesser degree, dietary cholesterol is

linked to increased risk of heart disease.
