Hello Everyone,

I am revisiting the subject of oils and fats, because it is perhaps the most misunderstood subject in the field of health and medicine. More than misunderstood, it is probably the biggest cause of ill health in our food system. Those who have been with me for over 15 years know that forever I have been teaching against the use of soy and other polyunsaturated oils, and I have been promoting the use of coconut and olive oil.

Over the years health practitioners and the health media are slowly coming around to accepting that much of what they have been promoting concerning fats and oils has been plain wrong and causing ill health. Polyunsaturated oils are actually not good for you, most soy is not good for you, and coconut oil is actually a very healthy saturated fat and has many super health benefits.

Last year I eliminated cod fish oil from my catalog. Like years ago when I went against the common beliefs on soy, vegetable oils and coconut oil, I received a lot of questions and heard a lot of doubts. Today I want to further provide information to support why I recommend not using oils other coconut for cooking, why you should not be using vegetable or seed oils, and why I favor olive oil on your food and for salad dressings.

I am glad to see the well-known and respected Dr. Mercola is now also supporting this view...

"When it comes to knowing which vegetable oil is best and safest to cook with, many restaurants and so-called health experts don't seem to understand basic biochemistry. That's because even the "safe" vegetable oils used by restaurants and recommended by experts convert to seriously damaged breakdown products that have been linked to heart disease and neurological disorders.

"These include the fatty acid-derived toxin 4-hydroxy-trans-2-nonenal (HNE). According to researchers, HNE collects in high amounts in polyunsaturated oils that have linoleic acid, which include:

* Corn
* Canola
* Soybean
* Sunflower

"The toxin certainly holds a fatal future for humans. Many studies have linked HNE consumption to increased risks for cardiovascular disease, stroke, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, liver problems and cancer.

"Researchers explain that HNE's toxicity stems from the fact that it reacts extremely energetically with biomolecules once it is absorbed into the body by way of food. Also, it reacts with the various kinds of amino groups--proteins, DNA, RNA--affecting basic cellular processes."

Again, Dr. Mercola...

"So what's the best oil to cook with? Hint: It is not olive oil.

Although olive oil is one of the best oils to use, is especially high in monounsaturated fats and is a great source of squalene and a host of other cardio-protective nutrients.

"That said, olive oil should be reserved for your salad, and if you choose to cook your food I would strongly suggest you seriously consider the healthier option, coconut oil.

Coconut oil is far less damaged by heat than olive oil and seems to be the ideal choice for cooking."

And now the original great teacher on this subject, Dr. Raymond Peat...
Here is a very informative article on the toxic effects of polyunsaturated oils. This is written by my teacher Dr. Raymond Peat. Fifteen years ago this genius taught me the foundations of what I know and teach concerning fats and oils, thyroid and hormones. Dr Peat was way ahead of everyone. He was the first to teach about the wonders of natural progesterone, coconut oil and so much more. Read this article and hopefully I have convinced everyone today to stop consuming oils and fats that are destroying your health and the health on the planet.

Your Skin Products Also Contain Toxic Oils!
Polyunsaturated vegetable, nut and seed oils are aging your skin (including the progesterone creams women use). They are in almost every skin cream, soap, cosmetic, beauty lotion, etc. Instead use cleansers and lotions made with coconut and olive oil. Pure coconut oil, the same one I recommend for cooking and eating, is what I use and recommend on your face and body.

In 2007 I plan to make available special skin moisturizing creams based on coconut oil (and other non-toxic beauty products). For now, use the same oil that you should be cooking with and eating daily - on your skin. Remember, what you put on your skin is the same as putting it in your mouth. It absorbs right into your blood.

Suggestion: Get ready to start 2007 off by reclaiming your health. Go through your bathrooms and kitchens and throw out everything that has toxic oils and chemicals in them.

For those of you who have tried coconut oil and did not like the smell or taste, you need to try the only one I recommend (Quality First). This oil is superior to all the rest I have researched and tried. This is true, pure, virgin, certified organic, kosher coconut oil:

Wishing Everyone a Beautiful Holiday!
I want to wish every one of you a wonderful and blessed holiday season, filled with great peace and abundant health. This time of year is an opportunity to forgive the old hurts and resentments (the number one cause of health problems), and to renew our love with family and friends. It is a great time to rededicate our lives to creating that which will serve great happiness and health in our personal lives, within our families, and in the world.

Look for my next health letter, arriving in your inbox next Tuesday.

As always, serving your interest in obtaining and maintaining great health,
