Nina's book : https://amzn.to/4a5rH1z

But what happens when that information is tainted, this is what we explore today as I talk with investugative science journalist and author of The Big Fat Surprise, Nina Teicholz. Nina is a force of nature who has almost singlehandedly challenged the narrative on fat in our diets and that saturated fat causes heart disease.

In this episode we discover where the commonly accepted and yet disproven idea that saturated fat is bad for us, came from.

We hear about a physiologist called Ancel Keys and the role his flawed science, his biases and his sheer force of personality played in influencing the American Heart Association and its dietary guidelines and how that influence continues to this day, 70 years on.

We hear why researchers were afraid to talk with Nina when she was writing her book.

Expect to learn Nina's thoughts on vegetable oils inclusion in modern diets in recent decades and how their increased consumption has led to worsening health.

We talk about the enormous control large mutinational food companies have over western diets at the expense of our health.

We learn why the pharmaceutical industry thrives off drugs that people take indefinitely, such as the new weightloss drug Ozempic which Oprah recently announced that shes taking , indeed I ask Nina what her thoughts are on Oprah's relationship with Ozempic given her decades long status as a weightloss icon.

My conversation with Nina Teichloz is a real eye opener, with more than few jaw dropping admissions, I hope you enjoy it as amuch as I did.
