I am glad you bumped this, it just makes so much sense. I continue to struggle with weight but I try to follow lowcarb and if you do you can make the mistake of taking in too few calories andthe only way to up them is with FAT!
We have cut TRANS FAT from our diet in the last few years, amazingly I no longer get sore throats and we rarely get sick. I do not know what the connection is but it is surprising to us!
