A little over 3 months ago, I released my very first eBook Get Your Fats Straight. My primary goal for writing this book was to keep the critical discussion about fats very, very simple.
Unlike most of the books on fats out there today, Get Your Fats Straight can be easily understood with no Chemistry degree required – which fats to eat and why and which fats to avoid and why — along with how to incorporate the good ones cost effectively and practically into your family’s diet (simple recipes I use in my own home included).
As I mentioned in a brief video I filmed about the book last month, one of the reasons I chose to release Get Your Fats Straight on Amazon Kindle rather than a one time PDF download or a traditional paper book was so that folks who purchased the book could easily get any updates and new research I added in the future for free and at their own convenience.
Well here we are just a few months down the road and I wanted to let you all know that I have recently uploaded a new version of Get Your Fats Straight to Amazon Kindle. As promised, those of you who already own the book get all the updates free of charge!
There are numerous updates scattered throughout the book, but the three biggies include the following:
- Identifying the original source of the research that cracked the code regarding the mysterious X-Factor of which Dr. Weston Price frequently and reverently wrote in his nutrition classic Nutrition and Physical Degeneration.
- Clarifying the huge difference in fatty acid profile between tallow from grass-fed cows and tallow from primarily grain-fed cows. Not all tallow is created equal!
- Important updates on Vitamin D requirements – especially during sunny season.

Hi Sarah,
I am reading your book and I have a few questions about the chapter on if you don’t have a gallbladder. I have a gall bladder but I do have a 1.5 cm gallstone which acts somewhat like I have no gall bladder as the stone take sup much of the gall bladder’s storage space, though not all. My question is this, If coconut oil and plan oil are medium and short chain fatty acids and do not need bile do they provide any or enough cholesterol for the liver to make bile.
My second question: I am only able to digest coconut oil plan oil, liver and fish eggs, and sea food. If I eat the recommended amount of liver and fish eggs and these other things should that allow my gall bladder sufficient stimulus to squeeze and thus keep the bile moving and would that be enough to supply the liver with cholesterol to keep making bile?
Thank you I am really learning a lot from your book and have implemented most of what I can with my stone just now. I aim to be rid of the stone so I can eat more good fats and according to Dr. Cowan’s (WAPF’s ask the doctor) advice if I eat slowly the good fats a little eat day gradually eating more as my body adjusts then the stone will dissolve away. It will he said because the body will see it is getting what it needs in regards to cholesterol and thus just dissolve the stone. Have you heard of this before? Can you vouch for this? I am fighting to keep my gallbladder and to get to eating healthy fats once again. I approached the NT diet 7 years ago after growing up on a SAD low fat but aiming at what was known to be healthy. My mother was a farm girl so had some common sense but she bought the low fat mantra hook line a sinker. So 7 years ago I began cooking from the NT cookbook and eating more good fats etc but four years later I all of a sudden it seemed could not eat chicken or chicken stock and then I found the gall stone. I thought at first it was the NT diet and all that fat but I have since learned the gall stone was more likely already there before I tried to begin the NT diet. Now to recover the lost years.
Thanks again 🙂
Hi Sarah
After checking and re-confirming with Becka of VGN the ebook is incomplete. I would appreciate if you could email the complete PDF updated version plus the cover as a whole instead of just only the cover.
Your book no doubt is a good one but under “Olive oil” you did not mention how to test whether EVOO is real or with added filler. Appreciate your expertise comments.
Regards
Patricia
Who is Becka of VGN? Is she new – I’ve never heard of her or had any interaction or discussion with her. How would she know – she didn’t write the book. I emailed VGN the PDF of the book myself and it was 100% complete. A partial version of my book does not even exist.
Only the cover was missing. I will gladly email you the cover. Best, Sarah
Hi Sarah
VGN has responded and has washed their hands. I would say your ebbok is not 100% complete – missing front cover and the additional 50 pages.

Ebook bundles are sold as in the week they go out. If the book gets revised after the week of the bundle, it is something outside the bundle.

Hi Patricia .. the book is 100% complete as sold in the bundle. I have checked this myself. Kindle has a different manner of numbering the pages than is done in a PDF download. This is where the confusion is occurring. If you would like a front cover, I can email it to you if you like.
Hi Sarah
Further to my comments on Jun 30, as a gesture of goodwill and your loyal and faithfully members who have been following your site so closely, Those of us who bought your book throught VGN would you be so kind to let us download the updated version since it is a PDF file.
Patricia
You would have to contact VGN about this as they are handling customer service for the bundle as they coordinated sales for the bundle (they bundled all the books together and handled the download function so it was automated and not a manual process). Similarly, I am not handling the updates via Amazon .. Amazon customer service is as the sales were through them.
I purchased the book in the VGN Spring bundle as well. So you are saying because we bought the book while it was on sale that we are not receiving the updates? And were there 50 pages of updates just added? Or we didn’t get the full book to begin with?
This is very disappointing. I just read through several marketing e-mails sent by VGN and you, and it was never explained that we were purchasing partial books or wouldn’t be entitled to any future updates.
The full and 100% complete book was provided in the Spring Bundle. VGN controlled the distribution of that bundle. I don’t even know who bought it. Only Amazon is offering the updates for free as this is part of their customer service.
Hi!
Love your website and look forward to your postings / articles every day 🙂
I would love to buy your book, but don’t have a kindle. Is it available in any other format?
Thanks kindly!
