   I think you are absolutely right!! The biggest fat problem our country has is the low fat diets. I do disagree with you on how to get the good fats. Animal products like beef, eggs and butter are loaded with saturated fats and cholesterol. You mentioned avocados and they are excellent because of the long chain polyunsaturated fats. Flax seed oil and even hemp oil is great for the polyunsaturated fats. Olive oil is also good but it has a lot of monounsaturated fats. Still good for you though.

   I also agree with you on fake sweeteners. Wasn’t aspartame on some government list of known poisons at one time? Funny how it is now in our food.

   I enjoyed your video. Thank you Shane.

   Excellent information, Shane. Tom, who says saturated fats and cholesterol are bad for you? Have you succumbed to the FDA’s and Big Pharma’s guidebook on health?

   I was watching Obama talking about health care on Nightline last night. He was referring to healthcare being the biggest cost to the government after the military. He also said if we don’t do something to change the current system, it will run our country broke.

   Why is no one talking about getting healthy as a solution? There should be financial incentives in health care plans for people to get in the proper weight range for their height and remain there.

   There should be discounts for non-smokers, for being prescription drug free, being a member of a fitness club (scan card to verify regular attendence), and many more health checks and balances.

   It’s NOT O.K. to be fat because fat is ugly and fat is deadly.

   A health care system that financially rewards being healthy and penalizes being unhealthy seems to be the only thing will work for America long-term.

   Doctors must be rewarded or penalized the same way. If they help a patient stop smoking or reach optimum weight range for example, they get a bonus from the government. At present, they are financially rewarded when they get a patient hooked on prescription drugs. This is a vulgar professional model.

   Oprah seems to be leading an obese America to the buffet trough. Her role model message; “It’s O.K. to fall of the wagon and be fat”. Just stay tuned for my latest fad diet.

   Shane,
   In the 1990′s I was on a low fat diet and lost 70 pounds. In looking back, I did watch fat grams but I also did not eat much at all. I was basically starving myself and my skin and hair paid for that. I was so enthralled with being so much thinner, I did not think about the damage that I was doing my body. When I started eating more, the weight came back because I was eating the wrong kinds of foods and avoiding the good food for fear it would make me fat. Little did I know that EVERYTHING I was eating was wrong. It took me years to discover the great benefits of eating “real” food and using olive oil and butter and now I am hooked. I am so glad that I discovered you and the information that you provide is so beneficial. Thank you so much! By the way, I am doing the AM-PM Weight loss and having good results.

   Real example…I added grass fed beef and butter, as well as ample amounts of olive oil and avocados to my diet about a year ago. Excepting dairy, I also elinated nonfat and lowfat “diet foods”. Without changing anything else, I have lost 40 lbs this past year.

   Dear Mr. Chemist,

   I’ve been searching for truth in most every field since the late ’79 and I’d have to have your ear for a long, long time to tell you about what all has come across my path. Too far with Oprah? Hardly. Glad to see high profile deception being nipped in the bud.

   I’m no chemist and wish I knew more about it. But, then there are many things I’d like to know but don’t. The problem with an inquisitive mind and one can handle only so much. Chemistry is your field and it seems to me you know what you are talking about and that you come across as being honest. The price of honesty in today’s world is high and many bend to one degree or another for varies reasons. I hope you don’t and won’t, but what can I say when I’ve not walked in HIGH pressure shoes and maybe not willing to walk in them, though I do know about some pressure and I’m only the little guy on the street so to speak. I do appreciate all that do pay the price of not being it tune with the powers that be and have spotted many over the years.

   Sorry, but I just don’t have the time to get involved in blogging.

   Thanks for your informative work and all the best to you.

   Sincerely, Henry

   Great post Shane.
   You’re slipping – you weren’t quite so mean in this video – some empathy showing through!
   I love your vids regardless – you walk the talk and tell it like it is.

   Tom – we need saturated fats and cholesterol – its healthy stuff.

   Hi Shane

   This is really interesting and I would be really keen on purchasing your products, alas, I am told you don’t ship overseas. I am in Australia and wonder is there any way around this.

   Look forward to your reply

    Along these same lines I watched “The Biggest Loser” until a couple years ago and one thing really stuck out in my mind. As they were “re-training” the eating habits of the contestants, the trainers recommended low or non-fat snacks ie: jello, pudding, cool-whip, etc. To think about the poison they were recommending to the world through this TV show, not to mention omitting discussion on healthy fats, is really sad and thousands of people are once again misled and miserable in their diets and health habits.
