Price’s findings– The rest is him kind of interjecting with his thought. He brings up a variety of important ideas such as that Dr. Weston A. Price lived in an era where vitamins were all the rage.

In this episode, I revisit the "Presidential Advisory" written up by the American Heart Association last year on saturated fat. This report caused major controversy in the natural health community as they suggested the public avoid coconut oil. What no one did however was analyze the studies in the AHA's report. So in this episode, we go through one of the four core studies in their report, and assess whether or not the AHA's conclusions match that of their very own studies. This is a tale of bias and bad science. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sbcah/support
