Ever since I started eating copious amounts of raw animal fat, unheated. My Chronic fatigue symptoms and volatile blood sugar vanished. The raw dairy (grass fed) has also helped me tremendously. I am using it to transition into health. It is speeding my healing rapidly. Much faster than if I were excluding it. -Eric -----Original Message----- From: Todd Moody [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Friday, January 04, 2002 9:07 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Cordain/Saturated Fat Question Adrienne Smith wrote: >What about coconut oil -- almost all saturated fat but full of beneficial >lauric acid/caprylic acid and MCTs?? It should not be a problem. The saturated fatty acids that may be problematic for insulin resistance appear to be palmitic acid and myristic acid. These are not that high in coconut oil, I think (but I should check, I guess). When glucose is converted to fat in a mammal's body, it is almost all palmitic acid. Todd Moody [log in to unmask]
