When it comes to supplements, quality matters. Many manufacturers are either ignorant, or they just don't have the resources to maintain proper quality control. Low quality supplements could do you more harm than good.

That's why I only recommend professional-grade products that are 3d party tested. These manufacturers encourage independent 3d party certification. Get peace of mind knowing that what's inside the bottle matches what's on the label.

Overview


For decades, we've been told that saturated fat is bad for our health and causes heart disease. But in this groundbreaking episode, the real culprit is exposed - seed oils. Get ready to have your mind blown as the evidence against the diet-heart hypothesis is laid bare.

Using a fascinating historical narrative, you'll learn howiningful researcher Ancel Keys' determination to prove his theory led to cherry-picked data and flawed studies like the Seven Countries Study. The suppressed results of the well-designed Minnesota Coronary Experiment are finally revealed, showing that replacing saturated fats with vegetable oils rich in linoleic acid failed to reduce heart disease and actually increased mortality rates.

But this is just the tip of the iceberg. Landmark studies like the Framingham Heart Study and Anti-Coronary Club trials are re-examined, exposing how the true findings of increased death rates with lowered saturated fat were buried or ignored by researchers blinded by confirmation bias. You'll be shocked at how powerful institutions like the American Heart Association based decades of dietary advice on mere observational studies lacking scientific rigor.

With meticulous research and captivating storytelling, this episode systematically dismantles the diet-heart hypothesis while revealing the the pursuit of prestige, power and profit that fueled the saturated fat mythology. But it doesn't stop there - you'll also get practical tips to eliminate toxic seed oils from your diet and embrace the health benefits of nutrient-dense saturated fats. Prepare to have your beliefs shattered in this insightful look at one of the biggest medical reversals of our time.
