In his prolific postings on Epigenetics, Erling has offered many important quotes from the writings of Epigenetic expert, Bruce Lipton, PhD (The Biology of Belief).

This is just the beginning. Nutritional supplements work so well, they will have to begin to discredit them one by one until the public decides not to use them...or that such studies "justify" banning the purchase of OTC nutritional supplements.

Josiah - not much time to continue this but found a couple comments of interest. The book, Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill, by Udo Urasmus is certainly worth reading.

Josiah This isnt complete, but here are a few references for more reading. I agree with George that burning the fat becomes the most relevant issue. It takes fat to burn or metabolize fat, so the if intake is high without a corresponding high exertion level, fat intake can be a problem for some individuals but typically, its those who also add starchy carbs and sugar along with the fatby Jackie - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
