Summary

In this episode, Dr. Jockers answers one of the most common questions he gets: are popcorn and chips cooked in beef tallow healthy? He breaks down the impact of cooking oils and shares how the oil you use makes all the difference in your snacks' healthiness.

 

You'll learn why corn, often used for popcorn, isn't the best food choice due to its GMO status, high glycemic impact, and potential mycotoxins. Dr. Jockers also discusses the pro-inflammatory effects of acrylamide, which forms when starches are cooked at high heat.

 

Dr. Jockers reveals how Masa chips cooked in beef tallow, using an ancient process, can be a healthier option for your snacking needs. Tune in for expert insights on how to make better food choices, even when indulging in chips or popcorn.
