Myth # 1: Saturated Fat Is Always Bad For You
The truth is not all saturated fats are created equal. Some forms of saturated fat, such as the kind in coconut, are actually very healthy in moderation. Also, many saturated fats are an excellent source of antioxidants and fat soluble vitamins such as A, D, and K2 which are essential for good health.
Myth #2: We Need To Eat More Omega-6s
It is omega-3s not omega-6 we need more of. Although there are some health benefits to omega-6s most of us get more than enough already but not enough omega-3s. Among other things, omega-3s are linked to better cell communication, fewer behavior problems, disease prevention, child development, and lower blood pressure.
Myth #3 Eating Fat Makes You Gain Weight
The truth is that we need to eat a certain amount of fats for our body to function properly, and the consumption of healthy fats in moderation may actually help with weight loss.
