SEASON 1, EPISODE #13
Dr. Bubbs talks with New York Times Bestselling Author Nina Teicholz about her ground-breaking book The Big Fat Surprise, which rocked the nutrition and medical community in 2014 by unmasking the truth about cholesterol and saturated fats. Since the 1950s, the standard medical advice has been to consume a low-fat diet to ward of heart disease, however Nina's thorough review of the research, raw data, and scientist interviews highlights how this accepted "truth" is built on weak evidence and lack of scientific process.
