🍽️ The Real Truth About Dietary Fat: Essential Facts for Better Health 🥑💪

Fat is the second-most important macronutrient after protein. Your brain is pretty much made of the stuff, and it’s an essential part of the membrane of every cell in your body. Fat also provides energy, is critical for absorbing fat-soluble vitamins, and plays a key role in synthesizing sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen.

Fat got a bad rap back in the day, starting when the sugar industry funded research in the 1960s and paid scientists to downplay the link between sugar and coronary heart disease and blame fat instead, according to this study published by JAMA in November 2016. This influenced public health policies and dietary guidelines for decades. Now we know fat is an essential part of a healthy diet, especially animal fats.

  • BUTTER
  • CHEESE
  • LARD
  • TALLOW
  • EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
