How to gain weight?

old hat -

sorry to disagree, but i can't help it -

everyone knows smoking is bad, right - my mom is 85, healthier than i am by a long ways, and has smoked for pretty much 60 of those long years -
for some reason her body was built to handle smoking - just like some or a lot of bodies were built to handle saturated fats and cholesterol -

btw, she's been eating meat probably as long as she's smoked - i would guess her arteries are in ok shape -

Natural (smooth) peanut butter leads me to gain weight, also hummus. I would not recommend fatty meats to anyone. Saturated fats & cholesterol contribute to plaque build-up in the arteries. Clogged arteries lead to heart attacks & strokes. Why people continue to dispute this after decades of supporting research is beyond me. / Old Hat (31 yrs with left-sided UC; presently in remission taking brandname Colazal)

Agreed!!

LOL!!!!

Weston A. Price is a quack and a fraud. His foundation supports the dairy industry big time so it's no surprise he claims saturated fat isn't bad for you.

Here are a few of the many ridiculous beliefs Weston A. Price advocates:

- Butter and butter oil are “super foods” that contain the “X factor” discovered by Weston Price.
- Glandular organ extracts from animals promote the health and healing of the corresponding human organs.
- Poached brains of animals should be added to other ground meats for better nutrition.
- Raw cow’s milk and meat broth should be fed to newborns who don’t breast-feed, rather than infant formula.
- There are benefits to feeding sea salt to infants and babies.
- Fruits and vegetables should be limited in children’s diets.

So you people who believe that smoking cigarettes & eating fatty meats are good for managing UC: just go on doing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But why you insist on disputing the scientific method beats me; do you support Creationism? / Old Hat (31 yrs with left-sided UC; presently in remission taking brandname Colazal)

Did you take a look at the link I posted? Again. Science doesn't stop. The process doesn't stop. And that is why the old view of fat = sick/dead is being disputed (with current evidence to support the view). The case was never "closed" on the subject. No subject in science is. Being open to the possibility that you are wrong is very important in doing science. And as far as dietary science we were very very wrong (as the current evidence shows).

Smoking cig's is not good for general health. Certain chemicals within cig's however do show benefits for UC...per the evidence. Not because someone "believes" it.

Bringing up creationism is silly here unless you want to change topic and argue. Because of course nobody can leave that topic alone.....What you don't seem to get though is your view on dietary fat is no different then the view of creationist's/intelligent designers. You've got the answer and you don't wanna hear about the evidence we have now that refutes what you believe.

soystud - It's called a conflict of interest.
