Healthy Fats. Maybe Not What You Think...
The closer to nature a fat is, the better it is for you.
If oils have to be boiled and chemically extracted, and then hydrogenated in order to be solid at room temperature... not so much!!
We have been encouraged by government recommendations, medical professionals and everyone in between to be afraid of fats, especially animal sourced fats.
If you are young enough, then you likely don't ever remember anything other than the message that fat will make you fat and cause heart disease.
And, under the right circumstances (systemic inflammation, insulin and leptin resistance and excess insulin and blood sugar levels) , it just might.
Ancestral diets focus on removing pro-inflammatory foods and increasing anti-inflammatory foods. Sugars and foods that your body turns into sugar are also removed. This has the benefit of increasing insulin and leptin sensitivity and bringing blood sugar levels into better control.
Ancestral diets will also help to bring our Ω3 and Ω6 fatty acids back into balance, IF the correct oils and fats are eaten in the correct amounts. Incorrect Ω3:Ω6 ratio is a major contributor to inflammation and poor health. [4]
Modern Western diets typically have ratios of n−6 to n−3 in excess of 10 to 1, some as high as 30 to 1; the average ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 in the Western diet is 15/1–16.7/1.[2] Humans are thought to have evolved with a diet of a 1-to-1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 and the optimal ratio is thought to be 4 to 1 or lower.[2][3] (Wikipedia)
