We've all heard these familiar expressions;
- "Low fat is healthier"
- "Fatty foods clog your arteries"
- "Use margarine instead of butter"
- "Cut out oil to lose weight"
Sensible dietary maxims, right? "Wrong!" says North America's
leading expert on fats and oils.
According to Udo Erasmus, author of "Fats that Heal Fats that Kill", these
so-called "sensible dietary maxims" come not from the science of
nutrition, but from the high-paid advertising execs on Madison Avenue Madison
Avenue's "war on fat" is being waged to improve corporate
profits, not health.
"The giant food makers know that low-fat foods have much longer shelf-lives than
fatty foods", says Erasmus. "So they've hired high-powered advertisers to create "fat-phobia" in
the minds of consumers -- and they've succeeded."
According to Udo, studies have proven that low-fat diets do not improve health.
One recent study proved that people who switched from butter to margarine had
twice as many heart attacks. "Fresh fats and oils are essential parts of a
healthy diet," he says. "They should never be damaged or removed."
Udo Erasmus says that the "War on Fat" has stripped America's food supply of
vital nutrients called "essential fatty acids -- triggering a
variety of degenerative diseases including heart attacks, strokes, cancer,
and diabetes. Children's health is another casualty in the "war
on fat". Children raised on diets without essential fatty acids are more likely
to be sick -- and they frequently manifest behavioral problems and learning
disabilities."
"After years of 'low-fat propaganda', fatty acid deficiency has become the number-one
nutritional deficiency in America," says Udo. Is a fatty
acid deficiency correctable? "Yes," says Udo Erasmus. "But you have to stop
listening to all the "low-fat hype" and start eating properly prepared food
containing essential fats and oils.
To ensure adequate essential fatty acid intake, he recommends
drinking one or two tablespoons of a fresh seed oil
made to his pecifications by Flora, Inc. (called "Udo's
Choice Oil") which can be found in health food stores
nationwide or by calling 800-446-2110.
"Don't be a victim of 'fat phobia', "encourages Udo. Stay healthy by eating lots
of fresh, properly prepared foods rich in essential fats& oils. A list of foods supplying essential fatty acids can be found in Udo Erasmus's
book, "Fats That Heal Fats That Kill".
