I keep digesting and mulling Dr. F's info, synthesizing it with Dr. M's. Trying to get to the crux of it. In doing this, it occurred to me that Dr. F's might be lower fat that Dr. M's (?). Aside from the nuts/seeds, where's the fat? This weekend is the first I've heard about arrhythmias and low fat. Hmmm . . . how low is too low? Salad-based diet seems quite low fat. Also, in his talk, Dr. F said that most of the fat in beans is not absorbed (complicated explanation). Now I wonder when low fat = arrhythmias . . .
The members were able to hear two of the lectures online from the 2010 Health Getaway... he shared about the fat of the bean, which was great and about the importance of onions and mushrooms being preventive of cancer.
The set of lectures are now being marketed:

If I remember correctly half of the fat of the bean is broken down in the colon. It lines the walls of the colon to form soft stools. So half of the calories is released in the digestive system. Hope this help if not sorry.. I am not the sharpest tool in the shed. I just know I get enough fat from the low calorie dense foods.. and beans work, though I stay away from tofu.
