Many of us love junk foods. What we don't love are the medical conditions and weight gain that they are associated with. Counteract the Fat is a hot new paperback release from Amazon about how fiber and antioxidants can counteract the physiological effects of junk foods... based on groundbreaking discoveries made by scientists at various institutions and published in medical journals. This does not mean that we can eat unlimited amounts of fat every day. What it does mean is that we can have greater freedom in making food choices. The MANY Counteract the Fat concepts discussed include:

- High-fat foods produce cholesterol-related acids that can clog arteries and raise cholesterol levels. Fiber counteracts that effect by nabbing cholesterol-related acids and removing them from our bodies, promoting healthy cholesterol levels and reducing our risk of heart disease.

- The excess calories in high-fat foods can increase our risk of obesity. Fiber counteracts that effect by nabbing calories before they can be stored as fat, making it harder for us to gain weight and reducing our risk of obesity.

- High-fat foods increase our exposure to free radicals, which damage human cells. Antioxidants counteract that effect by neutralizing free radicals, preventing and reversing cellular damage and reducing our risk of cancer, heart disease and other conditions.

- The excess calories in high-fat foods can increase our risk of obesity. Antioxidants counteract that effect by giving our bodies the energy needed to burn fat more efficiently, making it harder for us to gain weight and reducing our risk of obesity.

- High-fat foods can trigger heart attacks by causing blood clotting elements in the bloodstream known as platelets to become more adhesive and clump together, triggering the formation of abnormal blood clots in the heart artery. Fiber counteracts that effect by speeding blood clot-dissolving mechanisms, decreasing the likelihood that abnormal blood clots will lead to heart attacks.
