Episode notes

If we want to get carbohydrates, the best place to get them is from the lowest starch foods. Well cooked starches such as well cooked potatoes and white rice are actually probably okay if eaten with saturated fat. There's a study which showed that eating coconut oil or butter or like any other kind of ruminant fat that's predominant to saturated fat completely abolished the endotoxin response from eating starchy foods.

In today’s episode, Paul chats with Bioenergetic Health researcher, Georgi Dinkov. They jump down the rabbit hole on a myriad of topics, including the distinction between table sugar and high-fructose corn syrup, how starch damages the gut, polyunsaturated fatty acids, sunlight, emfs and more. Sit back, relax and put on your open-minded thinking cap–you might learn a thing or two.
