Ode Magazine : Fat is where its at
Rated • 5 reviews • health, alternative health, weight loss, food, fats • odemagazine.com
"...experts now recognize fat can be good for you. Aside from the beneficial effects some fats can have on cholesterol--unsaturated fats, like olive oil, tend to raise levels of good cholesterol and lower levels of the bad stuff--fats help deliver vitamins, build cells and regulate hormones. Unsaturated fat also has antioxidant properties, which may help fight cancer; so does meat from grass-fed animals. The oft-repeated hypothesis that links a high-fat diet to breast cancer has never been proved. And when it comes to appetite, hunger and obesity, fats--along with protein, green vegetables and whole grains--take more time to digest, making people feel full longer."
