Welcome to the Fat Emperor podcast.

I'm your host, Iber Cummins.

Well, thanks a lot, Ran. That was lovely.

And a big thanks to Mariella and Ariel and the whole team who invited me here some time back.

This is quite simply a superb conference.

And it's my first time in Israel and I love it and I love the people

So I I made many new friends in the last day or two including one guy called Amachay who amechai sorry

I got that I got that but um amechai has a LDL cholesterol that's higher than I've ever seen or even

dr. Eric Westman has seen which is fascinating but we we won't talk about values that high today

maybe at the end so the cholesterol question so our whole history is that high fats in the

diet supposedly would raise the cholesterol and the cholesterol in turn was a primary causal

driver of atherosclerosis. So that's the diet heart hypothesis. And I'll just say I've

no disclosures of a financial nature. So I'm going to show you first a public safety, very short video.

I think you should all heed it. It's very important.

And it's a nutritional safety video.

Certain foods are high in saturated fat.

This is the average amount in saturated fat.

This is the average amount of saturated fat a person consumes in a month.

If you eat too much of this, then over time fatty deposits could build up in your arteries,

and this increases your risk of heart disease.

The saturated fact can clog this pipe. Imagine what it's doing to yours.
