Reading the science changed Nina Teicholz’s perspective on nutrition. She’s a journalist and author who is known for her work on nutrition and health. As a vegetarian with a food review column, she had to eat red meat—exactly the dishes she stayed away from. However, upon checking with her doctor, she was surprised to find that her cholesterol actually improved. This experience led Nina to read the science behind nutrition.  In this conversation, she tells us why saturated fats are not the villain, how easy it is to fall into the trap of believing popular narratives, and through her writing and advocacy, inspires us to question what we know and seek the truth. Nina understands the cost of speaking up against the nutrition industry and she remains committed to sharing the truth. She’s not giving up on that.Quick Guide03:09 Introduction 06:27 How saturated fat became the villain11:13 Reading the science 17:38 The oils that can cause cancer and heart attack 30:37 No journalists are questioning the findings of the American Heart Association 35:44 Getting the message out there 39:15 Journalists stopped acting as the fourth estate 43:56 Average consumers need access to information51:57 Closing and contactsGet to know our guestNina Teicholz, the journalist who wrote The Big Fat Suprise, is the founder of Nutrition Coalition. She believes that there should be a unified movement to educate people and to provide organized advocacy efforts for more people to hear the message."Low carb comes out better on almost all metrics in terms of fighting heart disease, weight loss, metabolic glycemic control of your blood sugars, I mean, low-carb almost always looks better in those review papers. So, it's just really mystifying and hard to understand how the science is, I mean, I think it's hard to use a word other than suppress. At this point, it's literally being suppressed and ignored. And that's very disturbing state of affairs." - Nina Teicholz Connect with herTwitter: https://twitter.com/bigfatsurpriseFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NinaTeicholz/Website: https://ninateicholz.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ninateicholz/Substack: https://unsettledscience.substack.com/ Continuous Glucose Monitors are the best way to monitor your own metabolic health and learn how to better care for yourself.
