Do butter, beef and brain health go together? Fat chance of that

January 19, 2019 tony dearing 2 Comments

There are two kinds of fat. There are “good” fats and there are “bad” fats. Unfortunately, the traditional Western diet gets it wrong on both counts.

It’s deficient in omega 3, the good fat that’s found in foods like fish, nuts, flaxseed and soybeans.

But here’s what’s worse. The ways that the Western world eats is way too high in saturated fats, the so-called “bad” fat. And recent research shows we’re paying a far higher cognitive price for that than we realized.

In today’s video, I talk about the dangers of saturated fat and how it helps give the U.S., Canada and England some of the highest rates of Alzheimer’s in the world. I also show you four specific foods to cut back on in order to protect your cognition and reduce your risk of dementia.

      Thanks for the comment, Mary Lee. I appreciate what you say here, because that idea of kindness is important to me. Fate has not been kind to people who have MCI, and society is not kind to them either. That’s why it’s so important that we all create kindness and share it with each other. Blessings to you as well.
