I know this may sound crazy , what with all the fear of fat around, but the truth of the matter is you get fat by eating starch/carbs/ sugar (three words for the same thing) and not enough protein and fat. I hope everyone knows by now that margarine/ Crisco /trans fat (three more words for the same thing ) is bad for you. This is what they make bio-diesel fuel out of. It has a long shelf life (like 500 years) and won't rot or spoil. That's a bad sign for food quality. I can appreciate that during WWII the food industry was trying to find substitutes for products that were in short supply, but today , there is plenty of data to prove that trans fat is horrible for you.
The next bad fat is all the seed oils like corn oil, soybean oil, peanut oil, etc. Your best fat is animal fat. butter , olive oil and a little known fat these days COCONUT OIL. From my own experience and that of my patients this stuff is great. It is a medium chain saturated fat and I know the party line is that saturated fat is bad, but from all I can find out that emperor is naked. Without boring ya'll to tears, suffice it to say this stuff is great for healing. Please contact my office for more extensive info or of course google it.
I mentioned last time about PROGEST-E (a progesterone/ vitamin E mixture you take by mouth). Someone wrote in to ask about thyroid disease and coconut oil (hence this article). Coconut oil and progesterone work great together to support the thyroid. Make sure you have enough Iodine in your diet also.
Next blog will be about the thyroid and what can be done to support it.
