Episode notes

Consistency in promoting the concept over a decade that cholesterol drugs may negatively impact health by affecting mitochondria function. Contrary to mainstream opinion, APOB, an apolipoprotein associated with LDL, is not a concern. High LDL is not problematic in a healthy body with controlled oxidative stress as there is no 'bad cholesterol'.

Dr. Cate Shanahan returns to share vital insights on the dangers of seed oils and their impact on health. As a well-known Cornell-trained physician and author, Dr. Cate has spent years researching and advocating against the use of harmful vegetable oils. In this episode you’ll learn about the "Hateful Eight" oils and why they are detrimental to metabolic health.

Dr. Cate explains the connection between these oils and chronic diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes. You will understand how to read labels to avoid these oils in everyday foods and get practical tips for making healthier dietary choices. Dr. Cate also covers the history and influence of the American Heart Association on dietary recommendations, revealing some eye-opening truths.

Key takeaways you’ll gain include understanding the role of oxidative stress, the importance of choosing the right fats for a healthy diet, and how avoiding these oils can improve overall well-being.
