According to Minnesota-based Nutritional Weight and Wellness and their nutritionists, heavy whipping cream is a healthy fat containing essential fat-soluble vitamins, including vitamins A, D, E, and K. The most up-to-date scientific research supports the inclusion of these fats, saturated fats, in our diet. Sally Fallon's book Nourishing Fats explains this, as does this blog post from one of their nutritionists, Heart-Healthy Fats. Healthy fat (coconut milk, nut butter, avocado, heavy whipping cream) stabilizes our blood sugars to help us stay full until our next meal. They recommend organic heavy whipping cream, when possible, which you'll find in the dairy aisle.
