The paradox of the province

Description
Book Introduction
Saturated fat doesn't hurt us
For decades, we've been trying to reduce fat, especially saturated fat, on our plates.
Because I heard that the cause of health problems, especially obesity, is the consumption of saturated fat.
But is that really true? What if low-fat diets are the problem? What if the high-fat foods we've been rejecting, like cream cheese and steak, are actually the key to solving obesity, diabetes, and heart disease?
Investigative journalist Nina Tyscholes exposes a flaw in our understanding of fat.
The low-fat diets recommended over the past 60 years have been little more than uncontrolled experiments on the entire human race.
As a result, our health is at risk.
This book is both the result of scientific research and an exposé that exposes the self-righteous and power-driven underbelly of the nutrition world.
Through nine years of relentless research, the author reveals how misinformation about saturated fat has become entrenched in both scientific and popular wisdom.
Recent research also shows how the results overturn the 'common sense' that is close to our beliefs.
The author argues that behind the false belief that a low-fat, plant-based diet is good for people around the world, the ambitions and vested interests of certain individuals are intertwined, and that even now that large-scale clinical trials have cleared all suspicions about saturated fat, opposition to it is not science, but prejudice and inertia.
We don't need to exclude meat, eggs, cheese, and milk.
Now is the time to put that delicious food back on the table without feeling guilty.
Because you need to eat more fat to be healthy.

Publisher's Review
The Inuit Diet Reveals the Paradox of Fat
The Inuit of the Arctic eat almost exclusively meat and fish year-round.
For 6 to 9 months they eat only reindeer, for several months after that they eat only salmon, and for one month in spring they eat eggs.
The Inuit valued fatty meat.
The most preferred fat tissue was the one accumulated behind the reindeer's eyes and along the jawline.
Lean cuts like sirloin were given to dogs.
Fat accounted for a whopping 70 to 80 percent of their diet.
Anthropologist Stephenson, who lived with the Inuit, said:
“If meat must be supplemented with carbohydrates and other vegetables to be healthy, then unfortunately the Eskimos did not have healthy eating habits.
Moreover, they spent the entire dark polar winter without hunting or doing anything but loafing around.
You might think they wouldn't be in good health, but they actually seemed to be the healthiest people I've ever lived with." The Inuit were healthy, eating a very high-fat diet without suffering from heart disease or obesity.
The high-fat Inuit diet is completely contrary to our common sense.
Is saturated fat really bad?
Our bodies crave saturated fat
Among carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, we are most sensitive to fats.
In particular, the distrust of saturated fats is almost religious.
We are under the 'belief' that if we consume fat, we will quickly become fat and harm our health.
However, the author's conclusion after reading numerous scientific papers and interviewing several nutritionists is that you need to consume a lot of fat for health.
A high-fat diet is healthier in every way than a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet.
Clinical trials have shown that high-fat, low-carbohydrate diets are effective in fighting heart disease, obesity, and diabetes.
More than 50 percent of breast milk is saturated fat.
Fifty percent of our cell membranes are also saturated fat.
Saturated fat plays an important role in maintaining body temperature and protecting our body from external shocks.
But the low-fat diets officially recommended in the West over the past half-century have had dire consequences for our health.
The American Heart Association has recommended a low-fat diet to combat heart disease since 1961, and the USDA has recommended a low-fat diet for people of all ages since 1980.
However, the prevalence of obesity and diabetes has skyrocketed, and heart disease has not been overcome.
In fact, recent studies show that low-fat diets are ineffective in fighting obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
Our bodies crave saturated fat.
The only way to get enough good fats is to eat saturated fats, which are abundant in animal foods.
We have to eat the forbidden fatty foods that we have been avoiding for a long time.
