"The Importance Of Dietary Fats" By Raine Saunders. Fats - "Nourishing Traditions" by Sally Fallon

"We are living in a world where fats in our diet have been increasingly feared and avoided for nearly five decades. Things are finally beginning to change.
... fat is critical to brain development[1] and maintenance, and provides the building blocks for cell membranes needed for important work to be performed by neurotransmitters which are responsible for regulation of our moods. The myelin sheath around our nerves is comprised of fats; if we don’t eat fats, the tissue making up these sheaths becomes damaged and can die."
It is really sad to see people suffering with chronic, dark, gloomy moods and/or freyed nerves that are a consequence of malnutrition in the form of healthy saturated fats![3]

The Truth About Fats: Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon
"Fats from animal and vegetable sources provide a concentrated source of energy in the diet; they also provide the building blocks for cell membranes and a variety of hormones and hormone-like substances. Fats as part of a meal slow down nutrient absorption so that we can go longer without feeling hungry. In addition, they act as carriers for important fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. Dietary fats are needed for the conversion of carotene to vitamin A, for mineral absorption and for a host of other processes.
Politically Correct Nutrition is based on the assumption that we should reduce our intake of fats, particularly saturated fats from animal sources. Fats from animal sources also contain cholesterol, presented as the twin villain of the civilized diet.
The theory (called "the lipid hypothesis") that there is a direct relationship between the amount of saturated fat and cholesterol in the diet and the incidence of coronary heart disease was proposed by a researcher named Ancel Keys in the late 1950s. Numerous subsequent researchers have pointed out the flaws in his data and conclusions. Nevertheless, Keys received far more publicity than those presenting alternative views. The vegetable oil and food processing industries, the main beneficiaries of any research that could be used to demonize competing traditional foods, worked behind the scenes to promote further research that would support the lipid hypothesis." -

Notes:
[1] "Preformed vitamin A, called retinoic acid, is critical to brain development. Receptors in the amygdala, hippocampus and other paralimbic brain regions suggest that vitamin A signaling plays a vital role in cognitive function. (Following webpage link gives an additional Footnote here.] When vitamin A is lacking during gestation, as it is for most mothers in our fat-phobic society, children may be set up for abnormal behavior patterns later in life."
