Your baby’s brain is over 60% fat—and breast milk? It’s made up of 50–60% fat too. So why are we still being told saturated fats are “bad”? ?? Breast milk gives us the blueprint for feeding growing babies:
✨ High in saturated & monounsaturated fats
✨ Naturally rich in cholesterol (critical for hormone & brain development)
✨ Very low in unstable PUFAs (polyunsaturated fats), balanced by nature with vitamin E So where did the fear come from? Decades-old studies linked cholesterol to heart disease—without considering inflammation, blood sugar dysregulation, nutrient deficiencies, or the role of ultra-processed foods. ➡️ Even large clinical trials (like the Minnesota Coronary Experiment) found that replacing saturated fats with seed oils lowered cholesterol—but increased mortality risk. ? Here’s the truth parents need to know: ? Saturated fats (like ghee, butter, beef tallow) are stable, nourishing & great for cooking
? PUFAs from seed oils (canola, soy, sunflower) are inflammatory, unstable & highly processed
? PUFA overload contributes to gut issues, eczema, blood sugar crashes, and hormone imbalances ⚠️ Hidden seed oils are everywhere:
– “Healthy” baby snacks & puffs
– Nut milks & plant-based yogurts
– Seed flours, dips & toddler crackers ✅ The solution? Real fat, smart balance: ? Cook with saturated fats
? Include monounsaturated fats like olive oil & avocado
? Get natural PUFA from wild-caught fish, egg yolks & nuts
? Avoid vegetable oils and ultra-processed fats daily ✨ Let’s raise kids on real food that fuels their brain, gut & immunity—not lab-made oils. ? Want the full science + practical tips?
