Margarine and Trans-Fats were introduced into the population in large volumes just prior to and during WWII. A big advantage of Trans-Fats is its very long shelf life at room temperature.

31 Cholesterol, Hero or Villain. The Jury is Out
Cholesterol plays a vital role in the body. The liver manufactures cholesterol, and it also comes from animal sources. Cholesterol plays a large role in hormone production that regulates the functioning of the body. Similar to fat chemically, cholesterol is however not an energy source. Heart disease appears to be a hormonal disease, due to […]
32 Animal Fat Becomes The New Cholesterol
Initially, animal fat was blamed, without consideration of evolution.

35 Do We Know if Grain-Fed Humans are Healthy
The difference in weight between the grass-fed and grain-fed steer is 700 pounds of mostly fat, with perhaps a little bit of extra muscle and bone to hold the extra weight. It should come as no surprise that humans fed according to the Food Pyramid experience almost the same result as cattle. The result is […]
36 The Macros Easy Diet: 1/3 carbs, 1/3 protein, 1/3 fats

A more reasonable approach would be to strike a balance and go from there. 1/3 carbs, 1/3 protein, 1/3 fats. More cheese, less bread. Butter, not […]
