Know Your Fats
Know
Your Fats is a beautiful book that all fat lovers should read. This
is a book that teaches you the tricks about selecting the best oils and
fats for your cooking and in your daily diet so that they tend to
promote healthy living. Know Your Fats is a book written by
Dr. Mary G. Enig, who is an international lipid biochemist, you are sure
that the information provided here is trustworthy and information that
is very much worth following.
This is a
334 page book that provides all the necessary information on the
different kinds of fats and oils that are found in the market today. You
learn about the amount of cholesterol in different oils. In addition to
this, the book provides some information on the nutrition different oils
of the market offer, and how it is possible to make you more comfortable
in this 'fat-phobic' world. Upon reading the book, Know Your Fats,
you can discard all notions that saturated fats are basically unhealthy
as you learn the truth about them and how they can be quite healthy to
you in some ways.
In fact,
Know Your Fats is the only book found today that provides accurate
information on fats and oils as it is written by an authority in the
field. Though you may find other books on the same matter on the market,
these books are usually too technical for the common man/woman to
understand. Then there are other books that have too many errors in them
to prove their worth. So if you really want to "know your fats" it is
better to read, Know Your Fats.
Dr. Mary
Enig started writing her book with the intention of proving that it was
trans fatty acids, and not the saturated fats that usually give rise to
cancer, heart disease and immune system disrupters in the human body.
You first find discussion on the nature of different mono-unsaturated
fats, saturates, poly-unsaturated fats and trans fatty acids in the
book. Along with this, you find a discussion of cholesterol and the
importance it has on the human body.
Dr. Mary
Enig works at, and succeeds in demonstrating all the false data there is
in the medicine and health world pertaining to saturates. She has
managed to point out that saturates can cause or contribute to heart
disease, colon cancer, mental illness, diabetes, cerebro-vascular
disease and obesity. You find information on the fats and oils that have
been used in Western diets and the fatty acid composition of the various
oils and fats you find like butter, lard, coconut and olive oil.
The most
interesting part of the book, Know Your Fats is the part where
Dr. Mary Enig blasts organizations like the American Heart Association
for the misinformation that they give out to the American public. You
could consider this book to be a book that successfully corrects most of
the misinformation on the market about fats and oils. The main basis for
Dr. Mary Enig to support her book is that people have been eating animal
fats centuries, and less of trans fat, and did not actually suffer from
heart disease. And it is from this, that she infers and proves that
animal fat is indeed healthy.
Know
Your Fats is a book that all people who are health conscious, are on
a diet or who are suffering from heart disease must read, but if you
don't fall in this category, you can always read it for use in the
future or for advice to friends and relatives.
