Of all the athletic disciplines where fat nutrition should come into
beneficial play, endurance is it. However, tread cautiously. Use vegetable
fat rather than animal fat--a mix of oils will be better than a single
source--might as well get some nutritional value while you're at it. Eleanor
Kellon tells me that safflower oil contains a lot of Q10--that's a plus. Corn
oil that hasn't seen the sun is about 60% Medium Chain Triglycerides--also a
benefit.
