Since the 1950s the government, media, health experts and food advertisers have been telling Americans to "Avoid foods high in fat." In turn, many Americans reduced saturated and other forms of fat that are actually pretty healthy and essential to the body at the appropriate levels. This is the result: nearly three-quarters of all Americans are considered overweight.
Dr. Mary Enig, world-renowned biochemist and nutritionist, and Sally Fallon, founder and president of the Weston A. Price Foundation, address this apparent paradox in "Eat Fat, Lose Fat: Lose Weight and Feel Great with the Delicious, Science-Based Coconut Diet." and prove it is no paradox at all.
