Unfortunately, most of us cannot go back to a diet of healthy game and grass fed meat animals. Much of the meat we find at the grocery store has lost its health value because of the methods used to raise and fatten the animals. The meat is now filled with medicines and pesticides. Cows are fed grains instead of the much healthier traditional grass. Pigs are fattened with the very oils that we are told are to use to lose weight, vegetable oils. Because of this, the unhealthy oils are transferred to us in the meat and fat. Grass fed organic meat is best to eat, if you can find it, but it is uncommon and expensive.
Dairy products are also well known for their saturated fats. Because of the emphasis on low fat, the cows are bred to give less fat, and what fat there is has been removed. Since dairy cows in America are treated the same way meat animals are this source of good saturated fat has also lost much of its health value. On top of that, most milk is now ultra pasteurized and homogenized, which leaves an almost worthless product.
Conjugated Lineolic Acid, an important fatty acid found naturally in milk that comes from grass fed cows and goats, has almost disappeared from our milk today. If you can find organic grass fed raw dairy products, they are extremely healthy for you as a great source of saturated fat, but like organic meat, it is also hard to find and expensive when you do find it. And then, of course, many people are lactose intolerant, and cannot consume dairy products.
So, if we need saturated fat, and if our meat and dairy products are now a poor source of this, what can we eat?
That is where coconut oil comes in.
