  • Carbs seem to be a major cause of fat.

  • Natural fats seem to be non-fattening.

  • Before 1980 the American diet had quite a bit of natural fat in it and very few people were fat then.

  • Unnatural fats, i.e. hydrogenated oils and shortening, are very unhealthy, as they have no usable nutrients and compete with natural fats. Natural fats contain a lot of fat-soluble vitamins etc. The brain, nerves, hormones etc need a lot of natural fat.

  • Coconut oil, about 3 tablespoons a day, is said to help reduce fat/overweight especially.
