James Dinicolantonio - Superfuel: Ketogenic Keys to Unlock the Secrets of Good Fats, Bad Fats, and Great Health

Praise for
SUPERFUEL

Contrary to the goal of pervasive marketing efforts, dietary fat is fundamental for health, disease resistance, longevity, and yes, even weight loss. Dr. Mercola and Dr. DiNicolantonio deftly reveal how the specific fats we choose to eat may well be the most important dietary decision we make in terms of directing our health destiny.

David Perlmutter, M.D., #1 New York Times best-selling author of Grain Brain and The Grain Brain Whole Life Plan

If you want to know the real fat facts, please read Superfuel by Drs. Mercola and DiNicolantonio! They make a compelling and readable guide to navigate through the often confusing dietary advice regarding the types of fat to include in your diet as well as the ones to avoid like the plague. And spoiler alert: long-chain omega-3 fats from fish oil and other sources, and quality olive oils, are something you need more of, not less of, in your diet daily for perfect heart and brain health. Prepare to be amazed at what you dont know about why we are so sick. Read this book!

Steven R. Gundry, M.D., New York Times best-selling author of The Plant Paradox and The Plant Paradox Cookbook; Medical Director, International Heart and Lung Institute, Palm Springs and Santa Barbara, California

Superfuel is a fascinating discussion about how much of what weve learned about dietary fat is completely wrong. This helps upend much of the low-fat dogma that has dominated nutritional thinking for the last 40 years. This book is a must-read if you are interested in improving your health through diet.

Jason Fung, M.D., author of The Obesity Code

A NOTE FROM DR. DINICOLANTONIO

My last book, The Salt Fix, tackled the 40-year lie that salt is a dietary demon. If you read The Salt Fix, you know that contrary to popular belief, salt is not out to give you hypertension and wreck your health. It is actually an essential nutrient, and your body cannot function optimally without it.

Another popular but incorrect belief is that polyunsaturated vegetable oils (such as corn, soybean, and safflower oils) are health-promoting and that you should consume them instead of saturated fats, especially the ones that come from animals, such as butter, lard, and tallow.
