Saturated fat and cholesterol are not deadly. In fact, they’re good for you! It’s the carbohydrates – especially wheat and sugar — that are “your brain’s silent killers,” according to the new book, Grain Brain, by the board-certified neurologist, David Perlmutter, MD.
Scientific research is reaching a tipping point and the nutrition paradigm is shifting. Most likely it will take years for the food and pharmaceutical industries to catch up. They have too much of a vested interest in the old low-fat/high-carb paradigm. And the big-name health and nutrition organizations (including the U.S. government which has a food policy that hews to the low-fat/high-carb theme) are slow to change. But that doesn’t mean you have to be stuck in a rut!
If you are ready to start cooking the healthy high-fat/low-carb way, here’s a recipe for a delicious and easy-to-whip-up Thai curry: http://monamifood.wordpress.com/2013/10/13/thai-beef-and-vegetable-curry-with-cilantro-basil-sauce/ — just don’t serve it with rice!
