More and more Doctors are getting it. Here's another video of a doctor that has learned the truth. This video is of David Diamond, Ph.D., of the University of South Florida College of Arts and Sciences. This is his personal story about his battle with obesity. Diamond shows how he lost weight and reduced his triglycerides by eating red meat, eggs and butter.
How Bad Science and Big Business Created the Obesity Epidemic".

This article from HUNTER-GATHERER web site:

"Saturated fat is making a comeback
It's official: saturated fat is making a comeback. Out of the Netherlands comes another study that is casting doubt on the belief that intake of saturated fat causes heart disease. Here is the conclusion of their abstract (acronyms replaced):
"We conclude that avoidance of [saturated fatty acids] accumulation by reducing the intake of [carbohydrates] with high glycaemic index is more effective in the prevention of [cardiovascular disease] than reducing [saturated fatty acids] intake per se.
That's a huge statement. And for the nerds among us, here is the full conclusion:
The total body of evidence suggests that attention should be shifted from the harmful effects of dietary [saturated fatty acids] per se, to the prevention of the accumulation of [saturdated fatty acids] in body lipids. This shift would emphasise the importance of reducing dietary [carbohydrates], especially [carbohydrates] with a high glycaemic index, rather than reducing dietary [saturated fatty acids]. The chronic interaction of [saturated fatty acids] with our immune system elicits so-called chronic systemic low-grade inflammation, which underlies the metabolic changes referred to as the (atherogenic) dyslipidaemia of the metabolic syndrome or the lipidaemia of sepsis. The ultimate goal of the ensuing insulin resistance is the re-allocation of energy-rich substrates, such as glucose, to the immune system while the change in our lipoprotein profile aims at the limitation of the inflammatory responses and the repair of the resulting tissue damage. Dietary [saturated fatty acids] belong to the many false triggers of inflammation that result from the conflict between our slowly adapting genome and our rapidly changing lifestyle, but among these many factors they are not the most important. A reduction in the consumption of CHO with a high glycaemic index, trans-fatty acids and linoleic acid, and an increased consumption of fish, vegetables and fruit, and a reduction of inactivity, sleep deprivation and chronic stress seem more realistic approaches to fight the current pandemic of cardiovascular disease resulting from chronic systemic low grade inflammation.
Translation: Don't eat high glycemic index carbohydrates, stay away from trans fats, don't cook with vegetable oils (like canola oil), cook with lard or coconut oil, exercise, get some sleep, relax."

WATCH THIS video From Dr. Kim Mulvihill of CBS Health Watch
"HealthWatch: Doctors Warming To CavemanDiet Trend"
"A growing number of scientists, medical doctors and nutritionists have argued that a Stone Age lifestyle could benefit human health and even cure chronic diseases.
The concept behind the Paleo or Primal diet movement is that our DNA, our genetics, have changed little since Paleolithic era or Stone Age. That means our bodies would work better and with greater efficiency if we ate, exercised and socialized like our prehistoric ancestors."

More people are discovering the health benefits of Coconut oil.
Coconut oil is a super food. A gathering number of research papers indicate that coconut oil is the healthiest oil in the world. Check out this site,

Dr. Diamond points out, as did Gary Taubes, in his book "Why We Get Fat, And What To Do ABout It", this information was known years ago.
Coverups, lies and deceit have brought about the health crisis we have today. The lies have caused the death of millions of people, and has cost us trillions of dollars.
I hope you are getting it.
