Great question, Jen! Believe it or not, vegan diets are not devoid of saturated fat. Oils like extra virgin olive oil, palm oil, and coconut oil all contain saturated fat. The thing vegans do not get in their diet is cholesterol since that is only found in meat and dairy products. However, from what I’ve read, we do not need this cholesterol to be healthy. That being said, getting a lot of hydrogenated oils can actually cause the liver to make too much of its own cholesterol. But overall, vegans tend to have much better cholesterol levels than non-vegans.

Question: what do you do about your body’s need for saturated fats (more likely found in meat/dairy products)? While you need very little, if you don’t eat any, your body takes it from other sources within your body – namely, your brain…in which saturated fat makes up about 30+ percent of your brain!

The cost of fish oil products has risen significantly. I am giving my son 2 capsules a day to help him with memory. Does anybody know where I an find an cheap solution? By the way, it is great. His grade went up 2 points after consuming fish oil capsules.

I found a web site is Thailand that sells those fish oil capsules that take care of the fatty acids. I am not sure that they are safe to eat but I am tempted by the cost. Any suggestion how to have better control over the food safety of my diet supplements?
