Episode notes
Obesity Epidemic Causes
- The obesity epidemic is primarily caused by increased calorie consumption, especially from hyper-palatable, ultra-processed foods.
- These foods interfere with satiety, making it difficult to control intake, and this is exacerbated by a food environment that encourages overconsumption.
Emotional Diet Discussions
- Diet discussions are emotionally charged due to the desire for simple solutions and the feeling of victim-blaming.
- The "calories in, calories out" model can feel overly simplistic and accusatory, neglecting other contributing factors.
Seed Oil Risks
- Seed oils, often found in ultra-processed and fast foods, may pose inflammatory risks when reheated.
- Consuming them in their natural form might not be harmful unless an individual has a specific intolerance, like Stan Efferding.
