Do you think dietary fat is bad? Do you follow a low fat diet because you think a high fat diet is unhealthy? Have we all been duped?
In the seventies and eighties, there was this general recommendation to avoid fat, thinking that fat was causing disease. We hadn’t yet started to study the different types of fat and knew nothing about good fats. Even governmental guidelines recommended low-fat diets. The fear of fat was more than enough motivation for food processing companies to get to work. By creating “fat-free” versions of their foods, they raked in millions and made millions sicker. Little did we know that by replacing the fat in foods with heavily processed ingredients, like sugar, white flour or high-fructose corn syrup, we were right back to where we started. In 2014, The NY Time magazine published a controversial cover story. “Eat Butter” was what they irresponsibly promoted. By saying “butter is back”, they gained many fans, but most people had no clue that the study praising saturated fat that they were referring to was incredibly flawed.
In this episode, we cover dietary and body fat, fatty acids including omegas, as well as saturated and trans fats.
