"Our bodies actually prefer fat for energy metabolism, but because of the diet-heart hypothesis most people are scared to eat fat and therefore resort to eating too much glucose [sugar]. Accelerated aging, heart disease, cancer, bone-loss and many other diseases are actually assocaited with an increase in glucose consumption. Especially when glucose comes from refined, simple and processed foods."

—Me having a conversation with a friend about the importance of fat in one’s diet.  Fat gets a bad rap—but if you know what fats to look for (MCTs, omega-3s, and yes animal fats), and how to consume them (with vegetables and some fruits) then much of the ‘bad’ press fats get goes out the window.
