New York Times best-selling author Dr. Joseph Mercola teams up with
cardiovascular expert Dr. James J. DiNicolantonio to cut through the
confusion about how dietary fats affect our bodies--and set the record
straight on how to eat for optimal health.
New York Times best-selling author Dr. Joseph Mercola teams up
with Dr. James J. DiNicolantonio, an internationally known and
respected scientist who has spent nearly a decade researching the
effects of different fats on the body. This book will set the record
straight on which fats support health, which ones don't, and what foods
they're found in. (It's the opposite of what most people think!) Topics
include:
The optimal ratio of omega-3 to omega-6
Foods that resolve inflammation and increase longevity
Supplemental fats such as fish oil, krill oil, and flax oil--what to
take and how to choose
Which oils you should cook with, and why
Why the very foods and oils you've been told are healthy may be keeping
you from losing weight
Drawing on Dr. DiNicolantonio's research at Saint Luke's Mid America
Heart Institute, as well as hundreds of groundbreaking studies, Good
Fats, Bad Fats will give you the skinny on dietary fats such as coconut
oil, butter, cream, olive oil, fish oil, and vegetable oils, to show you
which fats are beneficial for weight loss and which ones actually cause
you to gain weight. You'll also learn which foods you should eat for
lifelong health and slimness, and how you should cook and consume these
foods for optimal health and longevity.
