The lungs cannot function without saturated fats, which is why children given butter and full-fat milk have much less asthma than children given reduced-fat milk and margarine. Saturated fats are also involved in kidney function and hormone production.

Saturated fats are required for the nervous system to function properly, and over half the fat in the brain is saturated. Saturated fats also help suppress inflammation. Finally, saturated animal fats carry the vital fat-soluble vitamins A, D and K2, which we we need in large amounts to be healthy.

Human beings have been consuming saturated fats from animals products, milk products and the tropical oils for thousands of years; it is the advent of modern processed vegetable oil that is associated with the epidemic of modern degenerative disease, not the consumption of saturated fats.

I am working on all of these suggestions and will unveil a substitution either this week or next. Stay tuned!!

Thanks for the recipe, Ashley!

Thank you!!

Start out with warm coffee
Add: sweetended condensed milk
flavoring, vanilla extract
cinnamon

Stir the condensed milk and vanilla extract into warm coffee until well blended. Regular milk and sugar are substitutes for condensed milk. Sprinkle with a little bit of cinnamon, and add ice.

Vanilla Syrup:

1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vanilla extract

Hope this helps!!!

There are some really great suggestions here. I used to be a Barista. I think some Torani Vanilla Syrup (italian) on the rocks, with cool coffee and a splash of milk would serve you well.

Boo to McDonalds as well!
