TRANS-fats are the real culprits of developing diseases of the heart and blood vessels

"The main reason for the increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease is believed to increase the concentration of low density lipoproteins (LDL cholesterol).

However, as it turned out, the exclusion from the diet of saturated fats, reducing the concentration of LDL cholesterol is due to the decrease in the number of large buoyant (type A) LDL particles, whereas for the development of cardiovascular diseases responsible small dense (type b) particles that respond to carbohydrate intake.

Recent studies did not confirm the existence of any links between eating saturated fat and the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.

Moreover, recent scientific evidence indicates a protective role of saturated fats”.

Saturated fats exonerated - they are not considered as a cause of heart disease

Over the last 60 years, health officials and doctors insisted that saturated animal fats contribute to the development of heart disease and urged the population to strictly limit their consumption.

In 2010 the recommendation of the Ministry of Agriculture of the USA (US Department of Agriculture) are encouraged to reduce saturated fat in your daily diet to 10% or less of the total number of calories consumed.

Now it is impossible to estimate how many people died prematurely as a result of sustained proliferation of this myth, which was incorrect a study published more than 60 years ago and convincingly debunked by many studies in the decades after its publication (this refers to the research of Ancel Keys, "Coronary heart disease in seven countries", published in 1953, which was the basis for almost all studies, which initiated the theory of cholesterol and its supporting — M. E.)

More recently, the attention of media was attracted by an editorial in the British Medical Journal in which the author, Aseem Malhotra – cardiologist London hospital Croydon University stated:

"The claim that saturated fat should be eliminated to reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, dominated in the guidelines and dietary guidelines for almost four decades. However, scientific evidence suggests that following these instructions, we will, paradoxically, increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease...

The main reason for the increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease is believed to increase the concentration of low density lipoproteins (LDL cholesterol).

However, as it turned out, the exclusion from the diet of saturated fats, reducing the concentration of LDL cholesterol is due to the decrease in the number of large buoyant (type A) LDL particles, whereas for the development of cardiovascular diseases responsible small dense (type b) particles that respond to carbohydrate intake.

Recent studies did not confirm the existence of any links between eating saturated fat and the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, recent scientific evidence indicates a protective role of saturated fats".





Along with this firmly established that the true culprits of developing diseases of the heart and blood vessels are TRANS fats contained in margarine, vegetable cooking oil and partially gidrogenizirovanii vegetable oils (TRANS-fats – solid fats made from liquid vegetable fats by means of hydrogenation – chemical reactions involving the addition of hydrogen to organic matter).

These fats increase levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol and, at the same time, lower levels of HDL ("good" cholesterol). TRANS fats also increase the risk of diabetes of the 2nd type, and other serious problems that affect health.

Unfortunately, many doctors and health workers are still trying to assure you that you can afford moderately fond of sweets. However, this logic completely falls apart when you take into account the fact that you eat a diet consisting mainly of processed products, which are almost ALL loaded with carbs and fructose.

One reason for the overabundance of sugar in processed foods is that due to the removal of the fat deteriorates the taste of the food. Companies manufacturing food products compensate by adding processed fructose, salt, and other proprietary seasonings. The worst thing is that refined sugars are addictive and disrupt metabolic processes that leads to overeating and steady weight gain.

In short, if you eat little saturated fat and lots of refined (refined) carbohydrates, you ultimately contribute to the development of obesity, diabetes and heart disease.

One of the brilliant researchers in this field, Dr. Robert Lustig emphasizes that "the problem with sugar consumption is not restricted to weight gain...

Accumulating scientific evidence suggests that fructose may start the processes leading to liver poisoning and many other chronic diseases.
A little no problem but a lot kills – slowly.”

Others exposed the myth is the assertion that eating fat contributes to weight gain. It is a profound mistake, since obesity is NOT associated with the presence in the diet of healthy fat, but is a consequence of excessive consumption of carbs/sugar, TRANS fat and changed in the process of deep processing of vegetable oils.





Excess sugar that is present in any form in food, is harmful, but, as shown by the results of the research of Dr. Richard Johnson, the most aggressive in this regard is fructose (one of the two simple sugars comprising sugar) , which is associated with 78 different diseases and health problems.

This is because fructose is a "isocalorically, but is not ismetabolites".

This means that the source of the same amount of energy as other sugars (i.e., isocalorically), she, unlike them, is a serious violation of metabolic processes (i.e., is not ismetabolites).

New research, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), proved that ”the result of the consumption of poor fat diet is a drastic reduction of energy consumption, impaired lipid (fat) metabolism and a higher resistance to insulin”.

All it means is that you just have to be interested in the sources of calories you take in.

Fat contains much more calories than carbohydrates, so replacing carbs healthy fats will automatically reduce the feeling of hunger. Moreover, when your body learns to use fat as the main energy source, your craving for food will decrease significantly.

In 1992, the largest unit, constituting the base of the Food Pyramid (Food Pyramid), was a food made from grain.

(Food Pyramid – guidelines of the Ministry of Agriculture of the United States, recommending the consumption levels of different foods in a healthy diet).
These instructions looked like a diagram representing a pyramid, in which different product groups, presented in the form of blocks of different colors arranged in line with the recommended levels of consumption).

Recommended to eat 6-11 servings of bread, cereal, rice, pasta every day.

This excess of carbohydrates, most of which, moreover, is refined, is, as already noted above, it is the factor that promotes the accumulation of fat, increased insulin resistance and development associated with the violation of diseases – diabetes, heart disease and blood vessels, cancer.

In 2011, Food Pyramid replaced by a new program, called "My Plate" (My plate), which is the most important ingredient of the diet instead of foods from the grain, which quantity slightly reduced, called vegetables.

However, My Plate, in fact, removed from the diet all fats! In fact, except for a small portion of fat contained in dairy products, which, by the way, I advise you to choose low fat or low-fat (fat - free or low - fat), fat in the recommended diet is not.

As I have mentioned, most people will benefit if a larger share of the total number of daily calories they will get from healthy fats.

Eating saturated fats and vegetables provides a wide range of valuable benefits to maintain health at a high level. Your body requires them to function correctly to the cell membrane, liver, immune system, heart, lungs, bones (calcium absorption), hormones, genetic regulation.

In My Plate there is no mention of the importance of even such a "politically correct" dietary fats, like monounsaturated fats olive oil and nuts; also lacking the most important for the body omega-3 fat of animal origin, deficiency of which may be a cause or contributing factor in the very serious health problems, both physical and mental, as well as to underpin 96,000 premature deaths each year.





How to restore your health and avoid heart disease

Remember that resistance to insulin and leptin is the root cause of most chronic diseases. To safely and effectively restore the normal interaction of cells with insulin and leptin, you must:

avoid sugar, fructose, grain products and processed finished products;

stick to a healthy diet, using unprocessed foods, ideally organic, and replace the carbohydrates are grain products, lots of vegetables;

daily to have in your diet high quality proteins from small to moderate amounts, the source of which should be the meat of animals fed grass and hay grown without the use of antibiotics, growth hormone and supplements;

to eat any food of high quality healthy fat (saturated and monosaturated).

Most people need 50 to 70% fat (of the total number of calories) in their diet.

Remember that the most important fat that your body needs is omega-3 fat of animal origin.

Other sources of healthy fats, in addition to animal fats, this avocado, coconuts and coconut oil, walnut oil (not heat treated), raw nuts – almonds, pecans, macadamia.

Of Dr. Malhotra recommends a Mediterranean diet based on natural food (whole — food), three times more effective in reducing mortality from cardiovascular disease than statins — drugs that can be prescribed exclusively by a doctor and only after a series of blood tests that determine the level of cholesterol, protect the cardiovascular system from diseases and acquired pathologies.

This diet is the basis for any healthy diet.

It dramatically reduces the content of refined sugar and fructose in your diet.

Along with this, a healthy diet involves the use of organic oils made from raw milk obtained from cows fed grass and hay during the year, but not margarine; coconut oil for cooking (especially frying). Olive oil is recommended only for preparing cold dishes (such as salads), but not for frying, because when the temperature in its composition appear harmful substances.published
