Thank you for uploading, it was a helpful video indeed. I would add though that you wouldn't just drink 100g of olive oil for lunch, where as you would eat 100g of pork or tuna on a regular basis, even a lot more than that - so the amount of fats going into your body obviously depends on how much you take from what. this has to be mentioned i think.

@Chunkylova53 I don't think you need to be afraid of the small amount of trans fats that occur naturally in meat and dairy products. It's the MAN-MADE HYDROGENATED TRANS-FATS that are super bad! The reason those "plastic" fats are especially bad is because your body cannot tell the difference between saturated fats and hydrogenated trans-fats, so your body may actually attempt to use the plastic fats for your cell structures, making them highly unstable!

Thanks, this was really helpful! :D
Fantastic Zoe. Just keep it up. I fear it will take 20 years to dispel the low fat myth (basically until all the proponents have retired and can't be held accountable for the rubbish they spout). I appreciate your 'proper science' analysis rather than 'received wisdom'.

@henrytheeigthiam Thank you! It will take years, but hopefully common sense and people getting together on the internet will speed things up. Keep spreading the word x

fourth, the only healthy unsaturated fats are MCTs, which are found in coconut oil
fifth, if you are going to consume olive oil, make sure it is extra-virgin olive oil
and finally. i don't fully understand the point of this video...are you trying to say that nature balances out the amount of fat in foods?

Hi there - many thanks for all of these really interesting points. I'm trying to say that saturated fat is not bad for us - nature puts it in all foods - no one ever tells us it is in olive oil. I do actually eat way more olive oil than pork - my hubby and I get through a litre or so a week between us and the Mediterraneans will eat as much, if not more. I'm also trying to dispell the idea that all sat fat is bad and all unsat fat is good - which you have added to - thank you!
No more room! x
