Low Fat essential to keep good health and heart-III MIL/, Jan 12, 2008. Dr. Mercola's Comments: Released on January 12, 2008 - One point you should be aware of is about the loophole used by many food companies to get around the labeling requirements for Trans fats. See, they can still claim their product is Trans fat-free if it has less than 500 mg Trans fat per serving. So many people have decreased their serving size to the point that the ratio of Trans fat falls below 500 mg. Therefore, if a serving size seems ridiculously low, it’s probably hiding Trans fat content. Contradictory Results SUPPORT Nutritional Typing Studies also clearly show that despite great compliance to low saturated fat diets, there is a wide difference in biological responses. What could this mean? Is it just poor science or flawed studies? This supports the studies showing that they work, but another one-third of people need high saturated fat diets to stay healthy. I happen to be one of those who need a high saturated fat diet to stay healthy and warm. I would agree with the final conclusion of this MSNBC article, that bad habits, such as lack of exercise and not eating the right foods for your biochemical needs cause more heart disease than any specific “bad food.” As Dr. Volek stated, “If you consistently consume more calories than you burn and you gain weight, your risk of heart disease will increase – whether you favor eating saturated fats, carbs, or both.” I don’t know if you fell for it, but I certainly did -- the low fat myth. I bought it hook line and sinker in the 70s and early 80s, and it was all based on flawed science. Low fat is actually quite good for the 1/3 of people who are carb nutritional types. Unfortunately it wasn’t very good for me at all and caused some health challenges.
