Everyone has their own conclusion to make about their health and the foods they eat but for me a low-fat diet really is a no-brainer.
Every kind of fatty acid when consumed in excess of the current energy demand will be stored although maybe an exception for C8 and C10 MCTs..I dont have any reason to carry around extra fat tissue
We can synthesize our own fats from carbohydrate and Butyrate from bacteria , also carbohydrate generates more Co2.
But the main reason for me is more fat = more serotonin ,
"Expression of tryptophan hydroxylase 1 (TPH1), the rate-limiting enzyme in serotonin (5-HT) biosynthesis, and the 5-HT7 receptor (HTR7), which regulates mammary gland involution, were significantly increased in mammary glands of HFD animals. Additionally, we saw elevation of the inflammatory markers interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF- α). These results indicate that consumption of HFD impairs mammary parenchymal tissue and impedes its ability to synthesize and secrete milk, possibly through an increase in 5-HT production within the mammary gland leading to an inflammatory process."
i did a 6 month experiment in 2014 where i ate loads of chocolate (no soy lecithin) full fat milk and coconut oil ontop of a quite strict diet.. and lets just say im not going back to that ever.
So a person consuming adequate amounts of carbohydrate to meet energy demands IMO has no health benefits to gain by consuming any more than 10% of total calories from fat
