Summary

In my conversation with Nina Teicholz, a leading science journalist, we explore saturated fats, modern nutrition policy, and flawed research on our way to some startling conclusions.

Join us for an hour long conversation about things that matter. Don't forget to leave a review and subscribe so you never miss an episode.
