What a family it's episode 259 of the Genius Life.

What's going on everybody welcome to another episode of the Genius Life.

I'm your host Max Lugavira Filmmaker, health and science journalist in New York Times best selling author.

I've dedicated my life to unraveling the science behind our choices including what we eat and how we live,

affect our cognitive and physical performance, how we feel, and our health span and risk for disease.

This podcast is all about how to live in that optimal state, which I call living like a genius.

Guys on today's episode of the show we welcome Tucker Goodrich.

Tucker is an incredibly successful Wall Street tech analyst and a health science enthusiast,

who is passionate about raising awareness about the detrimental effects of seed oils,

which he's done for the past decade.

The man goes deep into the medical literature and has challenged the medical orthodoxies thinking on the seemingly ubiquitous and widely embraced food products.

Tucker has done an incredible deep dive as I mentioned into the literature and over the next hour and some odd minutes,

you're going to discover why Tucker believes 89% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy.

Hell, even our pets have a 60% rate of obesity and Tucker is going to explain to you the connection that he sees between seed oils and this widespread problem.

We're going to talk about the Israeli paradox. Jewish people in Israel tend to use more seed oils than any population on Earth,

and they're seeing staggering rates of heart disease and cancer.

We're going to talk about India and Tucker is going to share research showing that India has developed a swath of metabolic health disorders

since more people have switched from the Indian ancestral fat ghee to these industrial refined seed oils.

We're going to talk about inflammation and how seed oils may potentially play a role in inflammatory disorders.

We're going to talk about your lipoproteins like LDL and the difference between oxidized LDL and non oxidized LDL and white matters.

We're going to talk about the false dichotomy that some seed oil advocates make between seed oils and saturated fat,

as well as the alternative anti-inflammatory fats that are out there and widely available for our use.
