The Great Saturated Fat Debate

For decades the advice around saturated fat seemed clear: lowering your intake of saturated fat would lower your risk of developing cardiovascular disease. But about a decade ago, things changed. The carnivore diet gained popularity, Time Magazine featured ‘Butter is Back’ on their cover, and social media became awash with influencers claiming that everything we knew about saturated fat was wrong. With all of these opposing views, what does the research actually tell us about saturated fat and heart disease?  Join us, two registered dietitians, as we dig into what has become one of the biggest controversies in the world of nutrition.  Want to support the show and get bonus episodes?
