Not necessarily. Most of the health establishment that has been promoting the low fat eating fad for the past 30 years which has been right in tandem with the highly regrettable obesity epidemic among many of those following western eating practices. Some modern research is pointing out the benefits of saturated fats, but changing this awareness among a heavily (pun intended) propagandized population is like turning the Queen Mary around 180 degrees. It's a slow process.
Yak milk is, I think, high in saturated fat. Coconut oil is also high in saturated fat. Human mother's milk is also high in saturated fat. Don't see any babies with clogged arteries as a result of that, do ya?
Anyway, busy packing so I won't repsond anymore for the next 10 hours or so.
Cheers.

[Gotta little reprieve and don't have to be out quite as quickly as I thought, so I will post again after all.]
Here it is very difficult to eat out - street food or restaurants - if you want to eat low carb because it's mostly high carb here as the western way of eating has made a lot of inroads. So, mostly I eat at home. I'm hoping it's easier there in Oman to eat lots of meat and low carb veggies while eating out - I like lamb and goat just fine - but skip the high carbs (i.e., no bread, rice, or other grain products, or at least only a very small amount of those). Without offending the locals, of course. People here think you're very strange if you don't eat rice.  |
