Not animal fat. Saturated fats have been so unfairly demonized; all naturally-occuring oils contain wonderful and benefitial compounds such as lauric acid (MCT in coconut oil), butyric acid (found in butter), conjugated linoleic acid (fat in grass-fed beef). These compounds are anti-fungal, anti-microbial, they kill cancer cells, tumors, they increase muscle mass, prevent achy joints, prevent calcification of the pineal gland (wulzen factor), and many more benefits too numerous to list!!! <br /><br />The second comment I wanted to make is this: heavy cream contains additives that you may be reacting to that has nothing to do with the dairy product. I have read that they don't list it, but it's there (to keep it stable). Carrageenan is in it, which isn't listed, and I don't know what else. Something to keep in mind ...Marisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-42150606407807109012009-05-28T14:04:37.966-07:002009-05-28T14:04:37.966-07:00Hey P,

He mentioned something about PUFAs in the diet of northern v. tropical dwelling humans. I think he was on to something.<br /><br />Dairy fat -- I can't do a lot of it. Obviously dairy is not Paleo. If I drink 1/4 to 1/2-c cream daily, I get FAT really FAST (despite low carb or ketotic). However, VCO (virgin coconut oil) no problem at all whatsoever. In fact VCO has raised my HDLs from 89 to 104 mg/dl. Since I still am a total hypocrite and do 1-2 Tbs cream (non-grass-raised) a couple x per wk in my coffee, I'm not the best Paleo specimen *haa* Maybe it's the PUFAs in the cream, interleukins, the hormones BGH, or antibiotics. I dunno what it is.<br /><br />Hope that helps and good luck on your journey! You have cool blog!<br /><br />-GDr. B Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451872961651116061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-26274227260887028232009-05-28T13:05:31.669-07:002009-05-28T13:05:31.669-07:00Dr., in the comments to your previous post, you ma...Dr., in the comments to your previous post, you made a statement that you might be allergic (weight gain) to saturated fat concluding that your ancestors might have evolved in a tropical area. <br />Could you further expound on the correlation?Fitnatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11941555822448529655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-81541831358383696112009-05-26T11:03:01.168-07:002009-05-26T11:03:01.168-07:00Exactly!

Last week I had my annual "...D-lightful post!<br /><br />Last week I had my annual "well woman" visit with the gyn Nurse Practitioner. She noted my recent 25 (OH)D level of 68 ng/mL, which she approved of, as well as my daily dose of 5000iU to achieve it. <br /><br />She said that about 80% of her patients are deficient (<30 ng/ml) when first tested (and that's in "sunny" San Diego County). But women here, esp along the coastal communities, are very sun-averse these days.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17033443643442246531noreply@blogger.com
