IN THIS EPISODE
According to Dr. Knobbe, at the end of the American Civil War:
-
Only about 1% of the population was obese
-
Heart disease was almost unheard of
-
Cancer and diabetes were exceedingly rare
-
Alzheimer's and age-related macular degeneration were unknown
In other words, chronic disease was rare in America, which is not the case today.
Although animal fats, sugar, and carbohydrates often take the blame for our rising disease rates, Dr. Knobbe's new book, The Ancestral Diet Revolution, argues that the real dietary villains are the vegetable oils that have replaced traditional animal fats.
Tune in to this week's podcast to uncover why seed oils might be more critical to avoid than sugar, along with these fascinating insights:
-
What seed oils were used for before they became food
-
Why sugar consumption (and maybe even carbs) may be less dangerous than seed oils
-
The two mechanisms by which vegetable oils cause issues in the body
-
What OXLAMS are and why they should concern us
-
How vegetable oils can lead to fatigue and weight gain
-
What to eat on a truly ancestral diet
-
How to choose healthful animal products
-
And so much more!
Dr. Knobbe's extensive research into this subject blew me away, and I sincerely hope you enjoy this podcast as much as I did.
