In 2000, I developed a condition, involving severe weight loss, which
my doctors could not "cure." I did my own research, including
brushing up on my biochemistry, and I realized that those claiming
that oxidative stress is the key to "disease" had overwhelming
evidence on their side. I stopped my vegan diet of 14 years (soy,
nuts, seeds, legumes, whole grains) and started eating much more fat
(in the form of coconut oil, butter, dark chocolate, raw goat milk),
but avoiding unsaturated fatty acids as much as possible. I also
started eating fruit as my my carb source. That was in February,
2001. I got back to close to my orginal weight (still a few pounds
less), but my blood tests were better, particularly TGs and blood
glucose. I always eat highly saturated fat and fruit together, and
I've never felt so satisfied after eating. I can go many hours
between meals, and I never feel hungry at night. I recently had MRA
and there was no indication of atherosclerotic changes whatsoever,
which is due to oxidative stress, not saturated fatty acids. I word
of caution: avoid animal fats from meat. Lard, for example, is about
60% unsaturated, and with little antioxidant protection. Very
dangerous stuff.
