Hello and welcome to the Consistency Project podcast.

0:02.7

I'm Patrick Cummings, here as always with E.C. Sankowski every week we aim to simplify the principles and practices of nutrition, health, and fitness.

0:09.8

Thank you so much for tuning into the show.

0:11.6

Hello, E.C., how are you?

0:13.0

Great. How are you doing?

0:14.6

I'm doing wonderful. We're going to break down a new study that recently came out about polyunsaturated fats versus saturated fats. Yeah? I got that right.

0:25.8

That much I understand. You know, you know some of your fats. Everything after this is going to be,

1:24.3

are high in one fat or high in another type of fat, that fat is always a

1:28.5

mixture in these foods, almost always. There's some exceptions like everything in nutrition,
