Summary

Did you know that a 5 oz serving of french fries contains the same amount of carcinogens you would get from smoking 20-25 cigarettes? Join us as we interview Dr. Cate Shanahan about her new book DARK CALORIES: How Vegetable Oils Destroy Our Health and How We Get It Back.    In DARK CALORIES, Cornell-trained biochemist-turned-family physician Cate Shanahan explains how a group of eight little-known oils cause the cellular damage that underlies virtually all chronic disease, exposes the corruption that deceives doctors and consumers into eating them, and gives us a clear roadmap to recovery and rejuvenation. We dig into the health implications including how vegetable oils cause mitochondrial toxicity and obesity, cancer, and more. We explore the nuances of the omega 3 vs omega 6 ratio, whether sunflower oil is a better choice, and how to navigate dining out!    About Dr. Cate Shanahan:  Cate Shanahan, MD is a Cornell-trained physician-scientist whose works have inspired entire movements involving bone broth, live-culture ferments, and seed oil-free business empires. Together with NBA legend Gary Vitti, she created the LA Lakers PRO Nutrition program, which has been emulated by elite championship teams around the world. She has dedicated her career to exposing the truth about a decades old campaign of health misinformation and opening the door to an honest conversation about how anyone can reclaim their health. She runs a health-education website, DrCate.com, a telehealth practice, and lives with her family on a peaceful lake in Florida.   NY Times Bestselling Author of Deep Nutrition and The FATBURN Fix @DrCateShanahan   Also in this episode:  Beat the Heat is on June 1-15th!
