In our Vital Fats class last fall we gave a summery of Sally Fallon Morell’s “The Oiling of America”. If you missed the class, or would like to get more of the story, please come to this event. This DVD is a great introduction to how doctors, the media and “the diet dictocracts” got hoodwinked into doing the vegetable oil industry’s bidding, and why we, in the Weston Price Foundation, don’t fear animal fats. Bring guests. Bring your friends or family members who look at you funny when you say that butter doesn’t cause heart disease. Or better yet, bring your doctor!
Margarine is the bad guy and butter and eggs are the good guys
For fifty years, big business, government agencies and medical organizations have campaigned deceptively against animal fats, meat, eggs, butter and other nutritious, traditional foods, leading to huge profits from the sale of toxic margarine, shortenings and liquid vegetable oils, and the foods that contain them. Scientific data contradicting current anti-animal fat public health policy was suppressed and censored for many years. Dr. Enig and Sally Fallon now tell you the truth about how that happened.
The Oiling of America will open your eyes to fraud and deception behind the lipid hypothesis of heart disease. Topics include:
* How scientists cheat in scientific studies
* Why cholesterol is not the cause of heart disease
* The dangers of cholesterol-lowering diets and drugs
* Why trans fatty acids and liquid vegetable oils are so dangerous to human health
