EATING CHEESE, BUTTER AND CREAM CAN HELP PROTECT YOU FROM HEART DISEASE, STUDY FINDS
Fatty foods such as
cheese, butter, and cream are often considered culprits of heart disease – but
according to a new study, a diet high in saturated fat could in fact bring
significant health benefits.
Eating more naturally
high-fat foods while limiting the amount of carbohydrates
consumed did not cause a significant increase in harmful cholesterol,
researchers at the University of Bergen in Norway found.
Simon Dankel, who led
the study, told said the research showed the human body “can do perfectly well
with fats as its main energy source.”
“People will say:
‘you can’t lose weight, you can’t go on any diets with saturated fats, no
matter what’,” said Dr Dankel.
“But in this context,
we see a very positive metabolic response. You can base your energy in your
diet on either on carbohydrates or fat. It doesn’t make a big difference.”
NHS guidelines advise
people to eat less saturated fat, because a diet high in
saturated fat can raise the level of cholesterol in the blood. Men are
recommend men eat no more than 30g of saturated fat a day, and women no more
than 20g.
