If you are interested in the historically health role fats played in our diets (and the health benefits are huge),
then you will want to look at the work and writings of Weston A. Price.

When it comes to getting pregnant, high quality fats (from seeds, nuts and animal sources) play a key role in hormonal production,
vitamin and mineral absorption, and a host of other benefits you simply cannot get elsewhere.

Recently, Vitamin D (fat soluble vitamin) has been making the papers, as “researchers” are finding out that most people are deficient
in this sunshine vitamin. This is something many “primitive” cultures addressed by eating animal fats during long winters, with lack of sunlight.

Read more about this critical health topic in Weston Price’s books (and I also recommend books by Sally Fallon–who works at the Foundation).

I also recommend you visit the Weston A. Price Foundation website for health information that may make
you wonder whether or not modern diet “experts” and people promoting “good health” have missed the boat on
what really keeps us healthy.
