Summary
Brad Marshall, a molecular biologist and pig farmer who aims to cut down the amount of PUFAs in our meat supply, sits down with Dr. Anthony Gustin to chat about the exact mechanisms at play when we consume harmful vegetable oils.
They dive into how these vegetable oils are sneaking into our systems through our food supply and what happens when they enter our body.
So you’ll learn about how they disrupt health on a cellular level and where they wreak havoc once they’re there.
You’ll also discover the surprising differences between linoleic acid levels in organic and conventionally grown meat, how our fat cells respond to these foreign substances, and what the latest research shows.
Brad also chats about the differences between different fats, such as saturated fat, polyunsaturated fats, and monounsaturated fats and so much more.
If you don’t know Brad, he’s a jack of all trades. He went to Cornell to study molecular biology and then eventually went off to start his own charcuterie business and opened up several restaurants.
He even branched out into pig farming, started The Croissant Diet, and became a food historian along the way.
He’s incredibly knowledgeable in this space, which is why you learn a great deal when you tune into the episode.

| 0:00.0 | Thank you for tuning in to the Natural State Podcast. |
| 0:08.0 | I have been off the last four to six weeks of anybody who has noticed. |
| 0:12.0 | I'm sticking a little bit of a hiatus to reevaluate how I want to be bringing you guys content |
| 0:16.0 | and try to be as helpful as possible. |
| 0:18.0 | So what I want to experiment a little bit with moving forward is just a lot more |
| 0:22.0 | deeper dive, probably longer conversations with people where we can explain some things |
| 0:26.0 | that are maybe a little more technical than you're used to hearing, |
| 0:30.0 | but can really spotlight some of the things that I don't think get enough attention. |
| 0:34.0 | You know, we've had a lot of great guests, a lot of people have had awesome books. |
| 0:36.0 | We've covered, but there's a lot of things that I care about that aren't necessarily |
| 0:40.0 | covered in depth. |
| 0:42.0 | There's not a lot of great content around them. |
| 0:44.0 | I think because they're so difficult to understand. |
| 0:46.0 | So this was sort of the first attempt today to dive into a topic that I care a lot about, |
| 0:50.0 | that I don't see covered a lot. |
| 0:52.0 | And that's why vegetable oils are so bad for you. |
| 0:56.0 | So little like I asked, especially I think is the primary cause of most chronic disease, |
| 1:02.0 | cancer, neurodegenerative disease, diabetes, heart disease, etc., obesity, |
| 1:06.0 | all these things, I think, are multifactorial, of course. |
| 1:10.0 | And you know, an aggregate are because we're not living like we should in our natural environment. |
| 1:15.0 | That's where out of our natural state, where the podcast name comes from. |
| 1:18.0 | But yeah, I think that nutritionally speaking, it's the biggest lover. |
