45: The skinny on fat - a podcast by Weston A. Price Foundation w/ Hilda Labrada Gore
from 2016-10-10T10:00
Nina Teicholz spent nearly a decade researching nutrition policy and dietary fat, culminating in the publication of her spellbinding book "The Big Fat Surprise." In it, she explains the politics, personalities, and history of how we came to believe that dietary fat is bad for health. Her book was the first mainstream publication to make the full argument for why saturated fats–the kind found in dairy, meat, and eggs–are not bad for health.
In today's episode, she discusses what initially propelled her to pursue this topic. The answers (and stonewalling) she encountered on her quest to find out more are eye-opening. What she discovered has led her to become an advocate for changing our diets to improve our health. Steps include avoiding vegetable oils and, of course, embracing saturated fats in their place.
