For the past 60 years, conventional medical authorities
have warned that saturated animal fats cause heart disease and should be
severely restricted in a heart-healthy diet
An important editorial written by an interventional
cardiology specialist in the British Medical Journal says it’s time to bust the
myth that saturated fat consumption causes heart disease
Reducing saturated fat intake reduces large, buoyant (type
A) LDL particles. But it’s the small, dense (type B) particles that are
implicated in heart disease, and these respond to reductions in carbohydrate
consumption
A high-sugar diet raises your risk for heart disease by
promoting metabolic syndrome—a cluster of health conditions, including: high
blood pressure, insulin- and leptin resistance, high triglycerides, and visceral
fat accumulation
To reverse or avoid insulin and leptin resistance, you
need to: Avoid sugar, fructose, grains, and processed foods; eat whole foods;
and replace the grain carbs with high quality healthful fats
