Today we have a fascinating conversation with Dr. Cate Shanahan, author of the new book DARK CALORIES: How Vegetable Oils Destroy Our Health and How We Get It Back, released on June 11th.   DARK CALORIES explains how a group of eight little-known oils cause the cellular damage that underlies virtually all chronic disease, exposes the corruption that deceives doctors and consumers into eating them, and gives us a clear roadmap to recovery and rejuvenation. In this episode we learn about the science behind WHY vegetable oils can compromise our health, and the latest research from top experts in the field, what seed oils  are, and how they do damage. We also discuss how to get vegetable oils out of our diet, the history of the science that misled doctors and consumers into buying these oils, and much more.

Dr. Cate is a board-certified Family Physician and Cornell-trained biochemist. She is the author of 4 books including the New York Times bestseller Deep Nutrition: Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food. Her books have taught a generation of ancestral health influencers and nutrition-oriented MDs about the benefits of bone broth, organ meats, fermented foods, and the damaging effects of a collection of 8 common seed oils (The Hateful 8) that are the single worst ingredient in the food supply.  She cocreated the PRO Nutrition program for the LA Lakers and runs a telehealth practice and health education website.
