For years, the popular theory has been: don't eat fat and you won't be fat. This overlooks that the body needs fats to keep its hormones in sync, alleviating inflammation and utilizing nutrients efficiently. Many fats are bad for one's health, of course, specifically hydrogenated (trans) fats. Indeed, most processed foods contain high amounts of various sugars and trans fats. Practicing doctor Masley (Univ. of South Florida) and health writer Bowden recommend consuming only foods that have not been tampered with: fresh or frozen vegetables without added sauces; fresh fruits; organic and free-range meat; eggs and dairy with monounsaturated fats such as olive oil and avocado oil; and naturally occurring saturated fats such as chicken and coconut fat. Fifty recipes are included. VERDICT A sensible reconsideration of healthy eating.
