Dr. Charlie's Fullscript- https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/cfagenholz

One thing not mentioned in this podcast is the amount of seed oils in our foods has increased exponentially. These are in fact linked to inflammation and a contributing factor to high cholesterol. I do not stress about never eating vegetable or canola oil but I do try to eat whole foods and cook with other fats. I use grassfed butter, beef tallow, duck fat, etc.

Thanks for listening y’all!
