It is well documented that fat accumulates toxins. I have journal
references back to the 60's on this issue. Dolphins in the St. Lawrence
Seaway have fat so toxic is needs to be treated like hazardous waste. I
cannot see how raw products would have anything to do with the fat load.
Organic products, yes. The raw products may not have altered proteins and
heat-oxidized fats, but the herbicide and pesticide toxins are still there
at the temperature of pasteurization.
The toxin load could, however, affect how saturated fat reacts in the body.
The cholesterol raising response may be a toxin response and not a sat fat
response. It just hasn't been considered. I do know the study that
concluded that coconut oil increased blood cholesterol was done with
hydrogenated coconut oil. With what we now know about hydrogenated fat,
this invalidates the conclusions about coconut oil as the culprit. It needs
to be done over with non-hydrogenated coconut oil to remove the hydrogenated
fat variable.
The toxin load in these animal fats may also be why they are so "fattening."
The toxins that cannot be immediately metabolized have to go somewhere so
they don't poison the body. We keep making adipose to keep it nicely
sequestered and out of trouble. (This is the Darwinian Medicine explanation
of obesity as a survival response and not poor self-control.)

Donna:
When I asked Ms. Fallon about the toxin load in milk fat - milk, butter,
and ice cream hold the highest concentrations of pesticides, as toxins
are locked up in their fat - she dismissed my comment with a blithe
reference to using raw milk products.
Unfortunately, raw milk products have been made illegal by the
government (isn't that convenient!) in all but two states: California
and Oregon, I believe.
What we really need to do is get the government out of our business.
But that's the topic for another post!
Robert.
