Dude, was that a hotdog on the cheeseburger?

Yeah, It's the "fourth of July" burger LOL

Did you see the one with 47 grams of saturated fat?

Look @ a bubba burger, they're loaded with it.. Premade burgers that taste good are the devil.

Funny you mentioned that. I looked at those at the grocery store. 21 grams of sat fat in just the patty itself

The total fat content isn't that bad, it's the fact that the beef is corn fed and industrially raised and that the bread is made from extremely refined flour that makes those things so bad.

21 grams of saturated fat in a beef patty from the grocery store isn't that bad as long ad the beef is grass fed and part of a nutritious meal without the refined starch. It's the whole combination of bad stuff in those burgers that makes them so terrible.

I wouldn't dream of eating 21 grams of saturated fat in a meal. Actually I don't eat that much in a day and I eat nearly twice the calories of most people

...got no problem with corn fed beef either

Hahaha, a hot dog ON a burger? Jesus...

Saturated fat isn't that bad. there's little to no harm in eating that much in a day as long as the diet is balanced.

I get most of my daily saturated fat from dairy. I don't ever use skim milk anymore. It's not that good for you.

Oh, and corn fed beef is pretty bad. It's low in omega 3's and high in omega 6's. The body wasn't designed to digest food that came from an animal eating what it wasn't designed to eat.

Saturated fat is probably the number one dietary contributor to elevated LDL levels

Studies show that diets high in fat, saturated and unsaturated, do not pose a significant risk for heart disease or an increased cancer risk. Diets high in processed and refined sugars and starches do. There's more to cholesterol levels than fat consumption. It has to do more with your diet as a whole and genetics.

Yes, it's true that people with heart disease and elevated cholesterol levels are more likely to eat high fat diets, but not everone who consumes what you would call high levels of fat has high cholesterol or heart disesase. A healthy, balanced diet with normal levels of fat is actually better for you than the traditional low fat western diet. Go figure.

Fat is not that bad. An unbalanced and heavily processed diet is.

You think skim milk isn't the best?

"When homogenized milk was introduced in 1932, we started to see increased atherosclerotic damage on a regular basis. Under pressure of 2500 pounds per square inch, at a speed of 600 feet per second, milk is passed through pipes and fine filters. This breaks up the fat particles and puts them in suspension like a foggy mist. The homogenized process encapsulates Xo into tiny fatty substances called liposomes. This protects Xo from stomach acids and allows it to pass through the intestinal walls and into the circulatory system.

At this point, while the liposomes are circulating in the blood, they are slowly burned up as energy fuel, only to expose the hidden core, which is in fact the enzyme xanthine oxidase. This dangerous situation is taking place outside the protection of the liver. Xo and plasmalogen cannot co-exist in one location. The liver, therefore, cannot store plasmalogen. It can only process or destroy it. So now this freshly exposed Xo circulating in the bloodstream, with nothing to stop it, starts to destroy plasmalogen, which makes up 30% of the membrane system in human heart muscle cells. In autopsies of people who died from heart and circulatory disease, plasmalogen was completely missing. Xo was in its place. Arterial inner linings were completely eaten away. The resulting lesions had become hardened by the deposition of minerals. Fatty streaks and cholesterol had surrounded the newly formed plaque by this time."

Who said anything about homogenized milk?

The fact is, that in order to make fat free milk palatable they add stuff like powdered milk to it. It contains nasty stuff. Also, the vitamins in milk are mostly fat sluable.

I generally think it's a good idea to consume a food in it's whole form. if you start taking out ingredients that food scientists think are bad for you at any given time, you will lose the full benefit of the food.

Cream top milk and yogurt are the best!

I assumed you meant the 'norm' milk..

Thanks, But I would eat 10 cans of tuna for one of those fricken burgers.
