Oils and Fats reconsidered

I read the linked article about OIl rediscovered and was remided how Points of View can change on the types of food that we consume.  Who would even think of adding Lard to an oil today to spike up flavor given the bad image that lard has.  But as  Mark points out, we now find that natural fats can have a role in a diet in a moderated way. Plus, and here is the good news, adding these natural fats like lard or various nut oils can give food great flavor.  Never think that you know it all because all I can say is that the point of view will change and what was out might actually become back in.

No More Pot Bellies

I am linking to a study that highlights the risk of having excess belly fat around the mid section.  There is a correlation betweeen large waist lines and sudden Cardiac Arrest.  Anormal exercise routine combined with a focus against better eating can really help to put one out of the danger zone. Articles like these seem scary but they are real and it is time to wake up.
