Angela revisits her conversation with Dr. Cate Shanahan, wherein she discusses her book "Dark Calories" and the misconceptions surrounding cholesterol, heart health, and the impact of vegetable oils on the body.

Dr. Shanahan examines the role of oxidative stress as the root cause of various health issues and explains how vegetable oils contribute to this stress. She delves into the importance of understanding the chemistry behind nutrition, debunking myths about protein consumption, animal products, and the inflammatory effects of dairy.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Vegetable Oils and Oxidative Stress: Seed oils cause oxidative stress, leading to inflammation, ageing, and chronic diseases.
• Structured Health Through Diet: Eliminating harmful oils and incorporating traditional fats supports vitality and reduces oxidative damage.
• Sunburn and Seed Oils: Consuming seed oils increases susceptibility to sunburn due to stored unstable fats reacting to UV rays.
• Protein and Longevity: Balanced protein intake is essential for growth, cellular repair, and long-term health, especially during key life stages.

ABOUT THE GUEST

Cate Shanahan, MD, is a board-certified Family Physician and Cornell-trained biochemist. She is standing up to the conflicted health authorities whose unwholesome nutrition advice is making the world sick. Her mission to end chronic disease started in 2002, when she discovered that we’ve all been misled about saturated fat and cholesterol, and began building on the discoveries of experts whose work is being ignored or actively silenced. Her bestselling books have informed a generation of health influencers about the damaging effects of a collection of 8 common seed oils (The Hateful 8) that are the single worst ingredient in the food supply, and the benefits of bone broth, organ meats, fermented foods, and other ancestral health principles. Besides regularly appearing in and writing for national media, she has also worked as director for the Los Angeles Lakers PRO Nutrition program, and currently runs a telehealth practice.
