If you have no idea what I am saying   I follow you, Pal.

FWIW ....................

A Canadian study in the "Lancet" (saw it in the Telegraph so it must be true!) has done a meta analysis of many research results into longevity and the finding is clear: fats are good for longevity.

The problem of worrying about fats (saturated or unsaturated) is that in an ignorant populous (and we are all pretty unsure, lets face it) is that reducing fat intake pushes people to compensate for the shortfall in energy with carbohydrates. And sugar features a lot then. And that favours excess!

The message is: balance and sufficiency. 35% fatty foods being the recommendation. To get the nutrition right.
