The BIGGEST LIE about Food
I’m sure you’ve heard that lard, butter, and red meat are bad for you, but what’s the truth? Find out about the biggest lie about food.
the biggest lie about food now from an very early age we’ve all been taught that saturated fat and cholesterol is really bad for our hearts so in fact it’s going to kill us right so when you eat lard red meat butter it’s going to clog your arteries but actually what is cholesterol what’s saturate fat it’s very confusing are they the same are they different I’m going to make this so simple for you first let’s just cover cholesterol what is it it’s a type of fat that your liver makes and the reason why your liver makes this type of fat is to make cell membranes the stuff around your cells it’s to help make hormones it’s to help make even vitamin D you can’t make vitamin D without cholesterol so now let’s tackle saturated fat very simply it’s a type of fat that will stay solid at room temperature versus another type of fat which is liquid at room temperature and that’s called unsaturated fat for example if we take coconut oil right and we compare that to lard both of them are solid at room temperature both of them have saturated fat and interestingly enough coconut oil has 87% saturated fat compared to lard which only has 47 not even 50% of it is saturated fat out of all the different types of saturated fat the one that has the biggest so-called bad influence on your cholesterol is something called meristic acid marisic acid has been studied and found that it can increase your bad cholesterol marisic acid by itself is very high in coconut oil but only 2% of the saturated fat in red meat is this meristic acid so tell me why saturated fat is bad if it’s in coconut oil if we have two concepts one is that consuming cholesterol increases your cholesterol the truth about that is it has a very very small impact if anything most of the cholesterol is made by your body and people have the confusion that cholesterol is coming in the body and creating a problem if we’re saying that cholesterol is the worst thing you eat then why does your body make 80% is it trying to kill you no it’s trying to help you it’s trying to get you to survive if your body makes 80% of your cholesterol if you add a little bit more guess what your body makes less there’s a little bit of a thermostat there adjusting if you eat more it makes less if you eat less it makes a little bit more but if you eat sugar that will definitely increase your cholesterol if you’re eating all the sugar the average person consumes way too much so the motor can’t handle it so it has to put it in storage so it starts to convert it as fat and cholesterol so again you’ve been told a lie that these foods are bad it’s okay to consume steak lard butter there’s not much of a difference between those and coconut oil so now that we’ve covered the greatest lie let’s talk about the biggest truth cholesterol only becomes bad when you combine it with sugar smoking trans fats seed oils one of the problems with these is how they’re made they go through an industrial assembly line of chemical solvents like hexane that’s in gasoline and this is highly inflammatory oil so when you combine all these things with cholesterol as this rusting effect starts creating holes just like a car is your body has to heal it so it’s going to heal it with various things cholesterol calcium protein and that’s basically your body’s way of putting together a Band-Aid the problem with that is it clogs the artery so it’s funny that people think that cholesterol is bad because it makes a part of your Band-Aid but they don’t consider protein bad they don’t consider calcium bad and that’s really what we should be teaching people
