Nourishing Fats: Why We Need Animal Fats for Health and Happiness by Sally Fallon Morell

Nourishing Fats: Why We Need Animal Fats for Health and Happiness Reviews

  Michael Jones

  Sally explains why certain processes in the human body really only function optimally with animal fats. Fats taken from pasture fed animals help in so many ways in critical areas of the body such as the brain, digestive organs and reproductive health.
  
  Everybody's talking about detox, but healthy fats are a surefire way for your body to easily cleanse itself from toxins.
  
  As with all of her books, there are plenty of footnotes and historical anecdotes and science welling up from years of research on these issues.
  
  So eat plenty of butter, eggs, and wherever possible eat the fats and organ meats from healthy animals! And stay away from the unnatural fats processed into the standard American diet these days.
  
  Little babies desperately need these good fats!

  This is an important book for our times. I read this slow because it has so much information but also because the beginning of the book is very technical and not always well organized. Not horribly so, just a bit.
  Chapters 4 through 10 are gold because of their usefulness and practicality.
  We need good saturated fats and cholesterol for good brain function, good organ function, reproductive health, and for growing children.
  The book is replete with studies to back it up and also with corrections on misinterpreted studies.

  Natural animal fats are not the enemy. Despite what certain medical organizations would like you to believe, it is the lack of whole milk, cream, butter, lard, organ meats and other sources of traditional foods that is causing heart problems, obesity, and almost all of our health issues. This book explains the science, using the medical profession's own studies to definitively prove that the low-fat diet is nothing more than a lie. Eat more butter! It's critical for your health.
  
  This book is going to be on my Best Books of 2017...probably in first place.

  Did I need an excuse to eat butter, whole-fat dairy, cheeses and eggs? No. Am I glad I can now think of it as eating bioavailable vitamins and healthy fats and not only as a splurge? Oh, hell yes!

  Heavier reading than some of her other books, but as someone who is skeptical about the demonization of cholesterol, I found this book to have additional information about cholesterol worth considering. Specifically, pgs. 34-37 and p. 77 1st full paragraph in the 2nd column. Worth a skim even if you don't want to read the whole thing.

  I only skimmed this book but it is not as good as the author's Nourishing Traditions and Nourishing Broths, perhaps because it presented nothing new to me.
  
  However, it would be very helpful to those who do not realize that healthy fats are crucial to health.

  This book was good. The detail into why we eat animal fats was great. There were also some recipes that looked pretty tasty as well

  Whether you agree or not, Sally Fallon Morell's books are worth reading (and buying). I have them and mentally argue with her often, but with respect.
