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

James Dinicolantonio

New York Times best-selling author Dr. Joseph Mercola teams up with cardiovascular expert Dr. James J. DiNicolantonio to cut through the confusion about how dietary fats affect our bodies--and set the record straight on how to eat for optimal health.

New York Times best-selling author Dr. Joseph Mercola teams up with Dr. James J. DiNicolantonio, an internationally known and respected scientist who has spent nearly a decade researching the effects of different fats on the body. This book will set the record straight on which fats support health, which ones don't, and what foods they're found in. (It's the opposite of what most people think!) Topics include:

  • The optimal ratio of omega-3 to omega-6
  • Foods that resolve inflammation and increase longevity
  • Supplemental fats such as fish oil, krill oil, and flax oil--what to take and how to choose
  • Which oils you should cook with, and why
  • Why the very foods and oils you've been told are healthy may be keeping you from losing weight
  • Drawing on Dr. DiNicolantonio's research at Saint Luke's Mid America Heart Institute, as well as hundreds of groundbreaking studies, Good Fats, Bad Fats will give you the skinny on dietary fats such as coconut oil, butter, cream, olive oil, fish oil, and vegetable oils, to show you which fats are beneficial for weight loss and which ones actually cause you to gain weight. You'll also learn which foods you should eat for lifelong health and slimness, and how you should cook and consume these foods for optimal health and longevity.

    Praise for this book

    "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 don't 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
