If it was an oil for cooking, then it would be too high in inflammation for my taste.<BR/>Most of the nutritional evaluations are outdated and are only based on saturated fats are bad and unsaturated are good. I would rate omega-6 very bad, saturated neutral, omega-3 short chain good, long chain very good. Corn, soy, safflower, are very bad. They are only used in the US and we have a big problem with inflammation here. Hmmm.<BR/>I think I had heart of palm once.

Have you come across those at all? Wikipedia has it down as "a vegetable harvested from the inner core and growing bud of certain palm trees".<BR/><BR/>I had a scan of its constituents over on nutritiondata.com and have provided the link below:<BR/><BR/>http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/3027/2<BR/><BR/>I noticed the Omega 6 to Omega 3 content was around 10:1 and that it was mildly inflammatory yet they have it as 5 stars for optimum health and 5 stars for weight loss? <BR/><BR/>Have you come across this foodstuff? Maybe tried it out?<BR/> <BR/>ThanksRossohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13516743883476727561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196334975274806517.post-1150772733718837512008-10-30T15:43:00.000-06:002008-10-30T15:43:00.000-06:00Dark chocolate without the fats manipulated has on...Dark chocolate without the fats manipulated has only about 3% omega-6 linoleic acid. So that isn't as bad. I think of chocolate as necessary to the quality of my life. I guess it is just lucky that it also provides a lot of health benefits as long as no milk products are mixed with it. Milk chocolate lacks health benefits and just becomes "empty" calories.<BR/>Thanks for looking in.Dr. Art Ayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01727664149735013259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196334975274806517.post-40292292501677534722008-10-30T14:33:00.000-06:002008-10-30T14:33:00.000-06:00Mmm, nice way to enjoy chocolate.

Personally I have made a decision to not eat any chocolate at all (I am not a big fan of the true dark one)<BR/><BR/>It wasn't even hard - when you know what these things are made of and really consider it, you just cannot look at them the same (at least I can't_<BR/><BR/>P.S.
