It seems that every other day some new study comes out with conflicting information about fats, oils, nuts and seeds. Are you “going nuts” trying to sort the truth from the propaganda? Are all fats created equal? Is olive oil a health food? Is the Mediterranean Diet the healthiest diet? What about the French Paradox? Are nuts and seeds good for you? In this eye-opening lecture, Jeff will help you understand the skinny on fats. This is a short excerpt from Jeff Novick’s 90-minute talk on fats. Want the full picture about olive oil? About the Mediterranean Diet? The various kinds of fats? It’s all available on Jeff’s OIL TO NUTS DVD at: secure2.vegsource.com MORE INFO ABOUT MEDITERRANEAN DIETS: Conclusions: “In terms of their effects on postprandial (after a meal) endothelial function, the beneficial components of the Mediterranean and Lyon Diet Heart Study diets appear to be the antioxidant-rich foods—vegetables, fruits, and their derivatives such as (balsamic) vinegar, and omega-3-rich fish and canola oils—not olive oil. Canola oil may share some of the unique vasoprotective properties of other omega-3-rich oils, such as fish oil. Dietary fruits, vegetables, and their products appear to provide some protection against the direct impairment in endothelial function produced by high-fat foods, including olive oil.” — “The postprandial effects of components of the Mediterranean diet on endothelial function.” J Am Coll Cardiol 36(5):1455-60, Nov. 1, 2000.

The study is the largest to have investigated the link between diet and endometriosis risk and the first prospective study to identify a modifiable …

Heart-healthy fish oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, the critically important polyunsaturated fats with powerful healing powers. Cold-water fish are exceptionally rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids—and the colder the water, the more omega-3 fatty acids there are in the fish. Salmon, sardines, sea bass, tuna, trout, mackerel, and anchovy contain eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA), the most potent forms of omega-3s. (Another form of omega-3 fatty acids, alpha lineolic acid, comes from plants.) Because omega-3 oils mostly come from cold-water fish and wild game—not often found in most American diets—most people don’t get enough of these essential fatty acids (efas). In addition, many food processors eliminate natural omega-3 oils, which have a tendency to spoil, to keep their products fresher. Scientific evidence for the benefits of fatty fish and fish oil has been building since the late 1970s when it was discovered that the native Inuits, who ate a diet high in omega-3 fatty acids, had surprisingly low heart attack rates. Since then, thousands of studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids promote cardiovascular health—and a host of other physiological and mental functions. Given the mounting evidence, the American Heart Association released new dietary recommendations in the fall of 2000 advising that everyone eat at least two 3-ounce servings of fatty fish every week. Others suggest three or more servings of fish per week.
