Q29-Is raw fat as fattening as cooked fat?
Research shows that raw food is not fattening in the conventional sense. Primitive, isolated Eskimos ate raw meat as a part of their diet. They ate raw blubber, raw butter, and other raw fats and yet there was no obesity in their society. Furthermore, these primitive Eskimos had no hypertension, heart disease, or hardening of the arteries. This could be explained by the fact that all raw fats contain the enzyme lipase which helps digest fats properly. Lipase is absent in cooked fats. |
