211. Re: saturated fats
Fresh, the thing that baffles me about these latest government shenanigans is that it is known and established that vegetarian rates of CHD/CVD are less than those for omni and that vegan rates of CHD/CVD are less than those for vegetarian. Nobody denies this and it is usually considered to be an association with strong and convincing evidence.
I suspect it has something to do with the egg boa

Yes, I do belive our GI-tracts are mostly frugivorous--with room for modest quantities of animals foods of which I choose not to partake of for ethical reasons.
My problem with modern fruit is that the nutrient profiles tend to be very different compared to the wild fruits that howler monkeys eat (mostly figs). Our modern cultivars are much sweeter and lower in protein and minerals than theirs

Highly muscled athletes represent only a very small fraction of the population. I don't think they are a reason to trash this metric.
Neither are some of the folks at the lower end of normal, such as myself, who take pains to achieve it and a very outstanding diet. We are so few as to be statistically insignificant.

TSM,
My mother is dead. My father is dead. My sister is dead.
The only one left is my brother and he is utterly irredeemable. We have nothing in common. It's hard to believe that we came from the same womb.
I don't worry about it. My family is the people who share my core values and the people who support me in times of duress.

Living, a prudent vegan diet includes a reliable source of B12. No established clinician would ever recommend otherwise. So that's out.
As far as low fat vs high fat, this is definitely a vexing issue. I do believe that people who are habituated to very high fat diets are miserable when fat is severely restricted. But we have to consider the actual dietary requirements, which are very small--o

I bought a house on a very shady lot so that the utility bills would be low. It is too shady to grow food. I have tried, the plants get only so tall and then they wilt. But I am also on city water which is very costly, so irrigation would make it cost-ineffective.
So now I am being criticized for not growing my food and contributing to the exploitation of migrant workers. But I probably have

If he is telling people to eat more cholesterol and saturated fat to be healthy, he does not know much, unless he is trying to sell something that he knows they want to her.
If you are so keen on cholesterol, why are you participating on a vegan forum?

Wrong, again.
Calorie-restricted mice on a high AGE diet didn't
live as long as ad libitum fed mice on a low AGE
diet. The AGEs did indeed come from food.

14 g of isolated ALA per day is a lot. That is more than 5 tablespoons of ground flax seed.

Living, agreed, rabbits are not people.
But Panchito's posting is still of interest. It must be said that eventually the same things that happen to rabbits on high fat diets happen to people, too. The only real difference is how long it takes.
It takes a lot longer to see these effects in people but they do eventually happen if the people don't die of something else first.

Lol arugula, you give very little reason for anyone to give you responses as you are in complete denial and clearly come from a brainwashed perspective that will never change.
You mean I have standards that you lack.
The cold reality, however, is that the basis of all their condemnations of fat all come to a screeching halt when the very crucial distinctions are made (such as raw, plant-

Not really an eye opener.
These women had BMIs just a tad below obese: around 29 in the intervention group. And yet after 3-6 years on this so called low fat intervention with 1500 kcal per day, they didn't lose any weight.
This defies the known physical laws.
They only explanation is that they did not eat as they claimed.
I do not believe any of them did 20% fat for all that time.

I think people (and animals in general) are programmed to select the most calorie-dense foods requiring the least energy to procure. Usually this means fatty foods.
When some guru tells people what they want to hear--that these fatty foods are actually good for them, they are happy.
When they are told that they can eat nothing but plants, they feel deprived.

Interesting paper here:
Cognitive impairment following high fat diet consumption is associated with brain inflammation. Pistell PJ, Morrison CD, Gupta S, Knight AG, Keller JN, Ingram DK, Bruce-Keller AJ. J Neuroimmunol. 2010 Feb 26;219(1-2):25-32
The disruption in cognition at this forum is likely to be due to brain inflammation from high fat diets. Pistell et al. suggest that it may be so.
