Low-Fat Way to Health for Americans

Why is the epidemic of heart disease particularly strong in the U.S.A.? If you are the average American, your diet is probably unbalanced and is very likely to lead you towards obesity, regardless of whether you know it or not. Drs. Louis Katz and J. Stamler, prominent researchers in this field, called it “a pernicious combination of over-nutrition and under-nutrition -excessive in calories, carbohydrates, lipids and salt; and frequently substandard in certain critically important amino acids, minerals and vitamins.” This makes sense, since the study of nutrition, which is relatively new to the medical field, has focused almost entirely on not having enough nutrition until recent years. People have been encouraged to “eat the right foods” and to provide plenty of meat, eggs, milk, and cheese for their children. In most areas of the world, the problem of getting enough food to eat for nourishment and survival is still existent, but this is not the problem in America. Our problem is actually more like the opposite: eating too much, especially the foods that are bad for us. Our diet is high fats, calories, refined sugars and starches, while low in essential nutrients, minerals and other vital supplements. The relationship between the amount of fat in your diet and the amount of cholesterol produced in your body is still not very clear. Research disagree on some points, but all one aspect of the problem, though, we all concur: the cholesterol found in the blood is produced mainly in the liver from fats in the diet. It is also believed that cholesterol is produced in the arterial walls themselves, but the main source and the one that we can to a definitely monitor is fat in our food.
