There is so much misperception or misconception regarding fats and oils

• All fats are good for you - they just come from different families and have different purposes

The three families of fat are:

1. Saturated Fat

2. Mono Unsaturated Fat

3. Poly Unsaturated Fat

The difference is the number of bends in the chain.  Saturated Fats have no bends in the chain where as mono unsaturated fats have one bend and the poly unsaturated fats have multiple bends

The more the bends the greater the electrical energy and the greater the vibrational energy.  Saturated fats are used for body structure and stability while the polyunsaturated fats are used for functioning organs such as the eyes and the heart which require more electrical energy and vibrational energy to function.

In nature fats come from nuts, seeds, olives, avocados, dark greens, coconuts, seaweed, legumes, butter, flaxseed.

Saturated Fats

Saturated fats does not require liver bile for digestion because it is easy to digest and absorbs quickly.  All cooking should be done with a saturated fat because the size of the chain makes it difficult to damage the fat.  The coconut is 92% saturated fat is considered the best and healthiest oil to cook with.  Olive oil should NOT be used for cooking because the chain is short and be damaged so easily that it can turn it rancid during the cooking process.

Saturated fat helps fight disease by:

• Killing parasites
• Killing viruses
• Killing Bacteria

Poly Unsaturated Fats

• Poly Unsaturated fats sapped up the functioning of the brain, the heart and the eyes.
• The brain gets its share first while the rest of the body may be starving for the fats
• There are only two things that can leach fat from the brain and that is alcohol and a fetus especially during the 3rd trimester of pregnancy.

Prostaglandins

• Prostaglandins are made from Omega 3's and Omega 6's
• Omega 3 is a polyunsaturated fat in which the first bend is in the 3 position while the Omega 6's first bend is in the 6 position.
• While hormones and the body's nervous system travelhat they are unhealthy or causes obesity.  We need to dispel the myths and get a real understanding.

Facts:

• Fat is mandatory for good health
• Your heart won't run without fat and 60% of your heart's energy comes from fat
• The brain is made up of 60% fat and you can't think properly without fat
• Nerves - to protect your nerve is a sheath called the mylein sheath. Fat is the primary component of the mylein sheath
• Hormones - fat is one of the key building blocks for hormones
• Fat is a key building block for your cell membranes
• Fat is key for healthy skin, hair and nails
• Fat is key for proper lung functioning
• Fat keeps your moods stable
• Fat is critical to a healthy digestive process
• Fat is stored in the adipose tissue and is what keeps you warm
• Fat is the source for steady and stable energy
• Your body has a shut off mechanism to prevent you from eating too much fat.
•  through the body macro managing the body, prostaglandins micro manage the body and are produced on site such as in an injury emergency, they will produce an inflammatory response to buffer and protect the injured tissue.
• The problem is the Omega 6's produce the inflammatory response and the Omega 3's are the counter balancing measure producing the natural anti-inflammatory response.
• Most people's diet is severely lacking in the Omega 3's.
• Any health condition a person may have that has a name ending in "itis" such as arthritis or bursitis or colitis, the person is severely lacking in the Omega 3's.

Omega 3's come from

• Fish - especially Salmon and Mackeral
• Flax
• Walnuts
• Algae
• Cereal Grasses (Such as PRL's Green's Mix)
• Eggs from Organicaly fed chickens that get flax

Grains have almost no Omega 3's and a significant amount of Omega 6's.

No Bad  Fats

• Technically there are no bad fats - however there are fats that have been damaged and consequently they are harmful too you.

Fats go bad when

• chemicals are used or deodorizers are used
• When exposed to light that can rancidigy them - this is a problem and is why the right kind of package containers and use the Violite Container that can block out the rancidifying light
• The hydrogenation process - the hydrogenation process pumps hydrogen ions into the product at high temperatures - why because it stops the rancidifying process to give the product a long shelf life with consistency. The problem is now the fat becomes waxy, hard and unusable.
• Partially hydrogenated is equally as bad and it is called partially hydrogenated simply because they stop the process in the middle merely when the product may have its best eye appeal - yet it is equally as harmful.

Fats Don't Make You Fat

• It is erroneous thinking that fat makes you physically fat
• Fats don't make you fat - eating highly processed foods will make you fat
• Eating no fat or low fat products will make you fat
• Consuming processed sugar makes you fat - in nature, your carbohydrates have protein and fats in them so that when the natural sugar enters the body it does slowly due to the protein and fats.  Processed sugars have processed the fats and protein out now the sugar enters the body far quicker than it was designed to and an array of reactions occur to handle this onslaught including storing the sugar into fat cells.

Oils

• Oils when processed properly will remain cloudy and textured.

• When oils are manufactured for shelf life and consistency, the oils are damaged causing them to become transfats; causes them to become toxic; produces free radicals and they become colorless, odorless and/or tasteless.

Transfats

• If the body does not have enough healthy good fats and oils, the body will use transfats. Unfortunately, the body cannot maintain health in this fashion and transfats have been implicated in most of all chronic health conditions.

Adverse Effect of Consuming Transfats

• Lowers the good cholesterol
• Raises the bad cholesterol
• Decreases the quality of breast milk
• Lowers the male testosterone
• Increases the number of abnormal sperm in men
• Decreases the red blood cell response to insulin thus having an undesirable effect on diabetes

So if a person has been consuming a lot of transfats without the good fats, how can this be reversed.

• Begin to consume properly prepared healthy fats and oils - over enough time, the body with its own intelligence will begin the replacement process.  The problem is that it can take years, but by taking a Quantum supplement like Quantum EFA Oil Blend along with Quantum Brain Complex, and adding a 20 minute per day exposure to sunlight, this can be accomplished over a 9 month period.
