Dr. Neal Barnard joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to examine the data to discover whether you should forget about the fat and feel good about fueling up on olive oil.
Also on The Exam Room Live, Dr. Josh Cullimore debuts to help answer questions sent to The Doctor's Mailbag.
- Is the fat from dairy heart healthy?
- Why is cheese so addictive?
- What are some healthy vegan snacks?
