As for what you have "been told" I suggest you do some reading and make up your own mind about some of these things - how many posts have you read here on DF about how we get outdated and/or just plain wrong information from our health care teams..? Doesn't that even raise the slightest doubt for you?
I challenge you to quote and source some solid scientific research which proves that saturated fat is "bad for your body". |
And in the meantime how about you quote me some scientific articles that say that it isn't. And for the record, I find that depending on the carbs (taking into account fiber, whole grain, etc) for most meals I can eat 45 g and be fine. What is the unofficial slogan here? YMMV? This is what has been startin to work for me and what I have read in numerous articles and been told by two different doctors.
This is also the current recommendation of the American Diabetes Association, and I trust them.
