The latest findings, published in the British Medical Journal, appear to confirm the growing realisation that the prevailing health advice for the past half century to cut down on foods that are rich in saturated fats such as butter and cheese may have been misguided.

The study, carried out in Canada by Russell de Souza of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, and colleagues found no association between saturated fats and ill health, but did find a link with the consumption of foods containing trans-fats, such as margarine.

The scientists found that the consumption of industrial trans-fats was associated with a 34 per cent increase in all causes of mortality, a 28 per cent increase in death from coronary heart disease and a 21 per cent increase in the risk of being diagnosed with heart disease.

    I just made some bacon to eat with my first tomato to ripen. And then I am going to cook some scrambled eggs in BUTTER and add some cheese. And then my gosh I am going to use organic mayonnaise skip the bread as I am gluten intolerant and will eat the bacon, lettuce and tomato and mayonnaise in a lettuce leaf. Dr. Mercola wrote long ago that fat in bacon is similar to that in olive oil.
    I eat red meat almost every day. Since I’ve been taking curcumin/turmeric every day in dry (Nutrigold) as well as oil based capsules(New Chapter) my lipid profile has turned around 180. No one should ever take a cholesterol reducing statin in my book, or foods that you don’t make from your own ingredients in your home..
