August 9: Potluck & Discussion: The Benefits of Saturated Fats

Friday, August 9, 2019

6:00 – 8:00 PM

Location:

Eugene, OR 97401

Topic: The Benefits of Saturated Fats

In contrast to the modern low-fat fad diet proponents, we encourage the use of animal fats and tropical oils. Traditional people valued fat and went to great expense to insure that they had enough of it. Butter, lard, tallow, coconut oil, palm oil, olive oil, are all wonderful fats and oils to include in the diet. Small amounts of cold-pressed flax or other fragile polyunsaturated oils are good to include, but are needed in much smaller quantities than the stable saturated and monounsaturated fats. Fat content of traditional diets ranged from 30% to 80% of calories, but only a small percentage was from polyunsaturated oils. Most fat in traditional diets was the saturated and monounsaturated fats from animals and tropical oils. All natural fats and oils contain a mix of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated.

We will discuss where, why and how to include saturated fats in your traditional diet.  This is part of our introductory series.  Please bring a guest!
