Saturated Fat and Cholesterol

Nina Teicholz joins me on The Doctor’s Farmacy to discuss the research and clinical studies surrounding heart disease, saturated fat, and LDL cholesterol.

Nina Teicholz is a science journalist and author of the New York Times bestseller, The Big Fat Surprise, which upended the conventional wisdom on dietary fat—especially saturated fat—and spurred a new conversation about whether these fats in fact cause heart disease. She is also the founder of the Nutrition Coalition, a non-profit working to ensure that government nutrition policy is transparent and evidence-based—work for which she’s been asked to testify before the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Canadian Senate.
