Saturated Fat Consumption Not Related to Heart Disease

Well blow me over! Of course, this is nothing new for most of us, but I can't help wondering why mainstream medicine keeps touting the same old disproven factoids about the dangers of saturated fats even when their own colleagues and medical journals are publishing information that say otherwise? I mean, it doesn't surprise me that Dr. Margarine isn't curled up on his sofa with a copy of "Good Calories, Bad Calories", but again and again, we see studies being published in peer reviewed journals that go largely ignored. Yet another reason to educate yourself.

Speaking of educating yourself, here's a few articles I've particularly enjoyed reading over the last couple weeks:

• Ryan Drum, "Thyroid Function and Dysfunction"
• If you haven't read Weston A. Price's book, "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration", you can click on the link to read the entire thing for free.
• Theory to Practice, "Genetics, Epigenetics, and the Intersection of Athleticism and Musculature". Exactly what I've been pondering these last few days, all laid out in a way that gets my head nodding. Good read for any paleo athletes out there who are looking for higher performance.
