Episode #325
Exonerating Saturated Fats (Again!)
In today’s episode we are joined by Cyndi O'Meara to take a deep dive into saturated fats and our flawed dietary guidelines – where they started and why they are perpetuated to this date. We take a close look at the 2020 paper, “Saturated Fats and Health: A Reassessment and Proposal for Food-Based Recommendations” and present the current evidence regarding saturated fat intake, cardiovascular disease and total mortality, and what we now know are protective effects against stroke. I hope you this conversation with Cyndi and I.
