Ranting
Wednesday 02 January 2008 at 5:06 pm.Most people that know me are aware of the fact that i tend to have a go at the ads about fat. Cos i have the feeling they are misleading the public... Use unsaturated fat for cooking. Yeah, that's true, but it needs to be mono-unsaturated fat cos the poly-unsaturated ones will become carcinogenic when heated. But they forget to mention that... Plus they keep saying that saturated fat is bad for you. Well, that's not necessarily the case (from my point of view). Better put some real butter on your butty instead of margerine (which contains trans fats)... So i was very happy when some people on one of the lists i'm on provided the following links:
Dr Malcolm Kendrick: Part 1; Cholesterol, Part 2; Familial Hypercholesterolaemia, Part 3; About Statins, Part 4; Heart Disease, Part 5; CVD populations.
Next book on my list is this book, and if you have some time to spare watch this webcast (it's on obesity)
Have fun watching and i'm curious about what you think about it!
