Summary

This episode is brought to you by Paleovalley and Athletic Greens. We’ve been taught to think of fats and oils as a necessary evil—the unhealthy part of anything we eat and the stuff needed to keep food from sticking to the pot. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. Fat is essential for health, but it’s also confusing. There are so many different kinds of fat; some, we are told, are good, and some are bad. So, what’s actually true? In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I am talking all about fats and oils—which ones you should be eating, and which ones you need to avoid for optimal health.
