Kelly talks to Dr. Cate Shanahan, author of   DARK CALORIES: How Vegetable Oils Destroy Our Health and How We Get It Back, about both the massive prevalence and dangers of “vegetable oils” in our food. Dr. Cate provides shocking evidence that vegetable oils (cottonseed, corn, canola, soybean, sunflower, and safflower) are a public health disaster, wreaking havoc on our bodies by depleting antioxidants and causing the cellular damage that underlies virtually all chronic disease.She talks about the unrecognized link between vegetable oil and mental illness, infertility, low testosterone, chronic pain, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s, cancer, and many inflammatory conditions that torment and curtail our lives. Dr. Cate also unveils the lies one doctor told in the 50’s and 60’s that started this entire vegetable oil takeover in our society. She gives listeners valuable information about how to take their power back and make better choices for their bodies.
