Re: Monounsaturated vs Saturated fat...

"Saturated fat" only "inflames" if you classify lard, which is 39%
saturated, as a "saturated fat." However, chicken fat is about 30%
saturated. Coconut oil is 92% saturated, and does not cause any
problems. The reason? It is an issue of oxidative stress and lipid
peroxidation. Saturated fatty acids do not cause lipid peroxidation
problems, nor can they be made directly into the molecules that cause
the inflammation, such as LTB4. Lard is very bad for everything in it
other than the saturated fatty acids, and also due to the way it is
usually used in cooking. Generally, anything containing cholesterol or
more than very small amounts of unsaturated fatty acids should not be
cooked at high temperatures while exposed to air. If you want to
understand more about this, and also read about my "anti-inflammatory"
diet, go to:

is an essay on the dangers of fish oil there, which I advise you read
soon.
