Author Dr. Jon Kabara begins by revealing the surprisingly varied roles played by fats and cholesterol in the body - as a source of all sex hormones, Vitamin D, and bile acids, and a necessary factor in digestion and the formation of cell membranes. The author describes the powerful antimicrobial and antiviral effects of fats and their positive influence on oral health. He examines the relationship of dietary fat to the immune system
and the role it plays in cancer, and continues with a detailed look
at how plaque buildup in the arteries (atherosclerosis) begins and how
inflammation and infection, rather than fat and cholesterol, cause its development.
Kabara's sensible, science-based advocacy for understanding the health benefits
of moderate cholesterol and "medium-chain" fats, and the true causes of diseases
linked to them, makes this book both important and timely.

Fats Are Good for You and Other Secrets emphasizes the positive health
role that certain medium-chain saturated fats can have on maintaining and
improving our health. Please read with an open mind. Put aside past
assumption of the ill effects of saturated fats and allow these new facts to
speak for themselves. You too may conclude, as many already have, that
it is "time for an oil change" both in our thinking and in our diet.
