Low-fat diets could raise the risk of early death by almost one quarter, a major study has found.
The Lancet study of 135,000 adults found those who cut back on fats had far shorter lives than those enjoying plenty of butter, cheese and meats.
Researchers said the study was at odds with repeated health advice to cut down on fats.
Participants eating the highest levels of carbohydrates – particularly refined sugars found in fizzy drinks and processed meals – faced a 28 per cent higher risk of early death.
Fat is super super important to brain health. The brain is two third by weight made up of cholesterol and that is why these cholesterol lowering drugs are actually causing more harm than good to your body. If your body doesn't get enough cholesterol then over time your brain starts to actually shrink and the neural fibers get jumbled up and all sorts of problems occur like Alzheimer and Parkinson.
Meat, dairy and eggs also have other essential nutrients like ammo acids that are the building blocks for all sorts thing in the body and you miss out on all that good stuff if you're eating mostly carbohydrates, fruits and vegetables. Humans need meat and animal fat to stay healthy. Stay away from all the products that say low fat and vegetable fats like margarine that stuff has chemicals that are unnatural and hard for the body to process.
The more natural your diet the healthier you're going to feel.
