In this episode of Metabolic Matters, I sit down with Nina Teicholz, Ph.D. — investigative science journalist, bestselling author of The Big Fat Surprise, and founder of the Nutrition Coalition. Nina's fearless work has challenged decades of nutrition dogma, exposed the shaky science propping up our national dietary guidelines, and sparked a global rethink of how we eat. Her reporting on seed oils and trans fats pulled back the curtain on how industry, politics, and media shaped what we've been told about food — and why so much of it was wrong. What began as a single assignment became a decades-long investigation into fat, food, and the politics of nutrition science. Upcoming EventI am thrilled to share that Nina Teicholz, Ph.D. will be joining us as a special guest at the Metabolic Health Day Conference, happening October 9–11, 2025.
Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Nina Teicholz, a PhD nutritionist, founder of the Nutrition Coalition, and author of "The Big Fat Surprise".
The Protein Paradigm: Redefining Dietary Guidelines with Dr. Nina Teicholz, a PhD nutritionist, founder of the Nutrition Coalition, and author of "The Big Fat Surprise". The discussion focuses on controversies around dietary guidelines, particularly the misrepresentation of low-fat diets and the critical role of protein in optimal health. Dr. Teicholz addresses the flaws in the US Dietary Guidelines, highlights the impact of institutionalized groupthink on nutrition science, and argues for the reassessment of protein recommendations and the demonization of saturated fats. She also examines the challenges and influence of food industry conflicts on public health policies and shares insights on the potential for meaningful reform under the current administration.

In essence, nutrition science continues to shape national policy despite being built on weak, inconsistent, and sometimes fundamentally flawed evidence.They discuss a recent paper published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, which found the systematic reviews used to support the guidelines to be of “critically low quality”. Nina breaks down why this matters, how key types of research have been excluded, and why the process lacks transparency and rigour. They explore how industry influence, institutional bias, and intellectual legacy all contribute to a status quo that continues to recommend reductions in red meat and saturated fat—despite the absence of robust evidence to support these claims.Nina also explains how these guidelines, which legally shape everything from school lunches to military rations, may be doing more harm than good when it comes to public health—particularly in the face of rising rates of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.If you've ever wondered why nutrition policy seems out of sync with both emerging science and common sense—or what it would take to fix it—this is an episode not to miss.Nina Teicholz Ph.D. is a science journalist and author of the New York Times bestseller, The Big Fat Surprise. She's been a pioneer in challenging the conventional wisdom on saturated fats, vegetable (seed) oils, the health halo around the Mediterranean diet, and the reliability of the U.S. national dietary guidelines. Her work has been favorably reviewed by top medical journals, including the Lancet, and her own writing has been published in academic journals such as the BMJ, Nutrients and a journal of the National Academy of Sciences as well as media outlets such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, the Atlantic and Economist. Teicholz has also appeared on most major TV networks and many podcasts, from NPR to Joe Rogan. She is a graduate of Stanford and Oxford Universities, and in 2024, she received a Ph.D. in nutrition focused on evidence-based nutrition policy. For years, she ran a non-profit called the Nutrition Coalition aimed at updating the US dietary guidelines with the current science. Her work can now be found in a column on Substack called “Unsettled Science.”Teicholz has no commercial ties and has never received support from any industry for her work.

Today, I am thrilled to reconnect with my friend and colleague, Dr. Nina Teicholz, an investigative science journalist, author, nutritional thought leader, and a science writer I love to follow. In our conversation today, Dr. Teicholz highlights the challenges of distinguishing real news from propaganda, and we examine how nutritional dogma shapes the identity of many individuals. We explore the history and consequences of our food guidelines, including the Diet-Heart Hypothesis and the Seven Countries Study, looking at the impact of cancel culture in science, the role of seed oils and processed carbohydrates, and the misconceptions about red and processed meats. She also shares her vision for the future, which includes much-needed shifts in nutritional guidelines to improve metabolic health. This discussion with Nina Teicholz is eye-opening, so you may want to listen to it more than once. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Difficulties with finding real information and reliable advice on nutrition and health Why we need to be open-minded about dietary changes Biological truths that apply to all humans How toxins and chronic stress impact our health Historical context of our dietary guidelines How the Seven Countries Study impacted the Diet-Heart hypothesis Long-term influence of the Diet-Heart hypothesis on our dietary guidelines Nina outlines the unintended consequences of the Diet-Heart hypothesis Challenges of changing the current diet guidelines How the notion that red and processed meats cause cancer came about Bio: Nina Teicholz Nina Teicholz, a science journalist, is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Big Fat Surprise, which upended the conventional wisdom on dietary fat–especially saturated fat—and spurred a new conversation about whether these fats in fact cause heart disease.

Highly processed vegetable oils, derived from seeds and beans, have become a dominant part of modern diets despite significant health concerns. Historical biases in nutrition science, influenced by the vegetable oil industry, have promoted these oils despite evidence from controlled studies showing negative health outcomes. These oils are unstable, prone to oxidation, and can create toxic byproducts, particularly when exposed to heat, contributing to inflammation and chronic diseases. Although they can lower LDL cholesterol, studies have shown that this reduction does not necessarily improve heart health and may increase risks for other conditions like cancer. In contrast, traditional fats like extra virgin olive oil and omega-3-rich foods offer more stability and health benefits, emphasizing the need for a balanced, minimally processed approach to dietary fats. In this episode, I talk with Nina Teicholz and Max Lugavere to explore the health impacts of different types of fats and oils, debunking misconceptions around cooking with extra virgin olive oil and emphasizing the dangers of industrial vegetable oils. Nina Teicholz is a science journalist and author of the New York Times bestseller, The Big Fat Surprise, which upended the conventional wisdom on dietary fat—especially saturated fat—and spurred a new conversation about whether these fats in fact cause heart disease. She is also the founder of the Nutrition Coalition, a non-profit working to ensure that government nutrition policy is transparent and evidence-based—work for which she's been asked to testify before the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Canadian Senate. Max Lugavere is a health and science journalist and the author of the New York Times best-seller Genius Foods: Become Smarter, Happier, and More Productive While Protecting Your Brain for Life, now published in 10 languages around the globe.

Before I dive into our main topic, I want to highlight something I find truly ridiculous: the “Beefless ground beef” I saw on a Trader Joe's shelf. If someone wants to eat plants infused with toxic seed oils and preservatives, that's their call, but let's call it what it is, and that ain't beef! I also am not personally shopping for cheese-less cheese, grape-less wine nor olive-less olive oil. What is it with humans?!! Why do we take what Nature perfectly made, much with it, and listen to those who claim it's healthier?Another mini rant I discuss in this episode: the new USDA dietary guidelines (ahem, conflict of interest ridden same ole hot mess) set to come out in 2025. Nutrition Coalition's Dr. Nina Teicholz is one of my heroes for highlighting these conflicts of interest and lobbying to get better people who aren't owned by Big Food onto this committee whose “work” drives what's available in anything our massively obese government touches — for example, schools, hospitals, prisons, etc.Alright! Let's get down to biznass: avoiding the holi-daze and cultivating a nourishing, meaningful season. This starts with mindset, y'all! Ask yourself what is most important to you, how you'd like to spend your precious time. I can guarantee that you'll feel a lot better come January if you set some parameters as for how you will spend your time, money and of course nourish yourself.We discuss that Big Food is happy to offer you even more conveniences which will cost you more AND inevitably contain toxic seed and vegetable oils. While it might take 10 more minutes to wash and cut veggies and make your own quick dip — two dip recipes coming in November (!), you'll save money and have a healthier veggie platter, for example.I recommend four main tips for nourishing yourself while enjoying the holidays: 1) Nourish thyself with sleep, hydration, quiet time each day and of course nutrients; 2) establish a game plan for your non-negotiables such as sleeping 7 hours per night, moving 3-5 days per week (even if it's shorter than your traditional routine), a five minute calming practice when stress appears; 3) come up with some quick go-to menus for those busier nights; and 4) remember, it's ok to say NO or make a quick appearance at an event and then retreat. Successful entrepreneurs understand that their businesses can't “run” them. It's the same with the holidays — don't let this time of year run you. Think about what's important and honor what is best for yourself. This will help you glide into the New Year nourished, energized and ready for what 2025 will bring. (Versus financially, mentally and physically hungover.)-FINE READS-Last month I mentioned how RFK Jr. has boldly brought attention to our nation's crippled metabolic health. Thankfully, the conversation continues and with an unlikely duo — a brother-sister team with extensive experience in the trenches: Calley and Dr. Casey Means. I've recently enjoyed some truly enlightening podcasts featuring these two passionate people, who offer an impressively informed perspective on the root causes and solutions. You can hear them on Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson. (I realize these gents might not be in your political camp — I'm an independent, but their message transcends politics and I applaud them for highlighting our nation's most pressing problem.)I am looking very forward to reading Good Energy! And although I'd rather get my hands on it sooner rather than later, I'm thrilled to see that there are 37 holds placed on the 16 copies in my local library system. The more people who read their message and adopt a lifestyle promoting real whole foods, the healthier our society will become.-FINE “RECIPE”- Dixie's Redneck RisottoThese recipes are available to subscribers. To subscribe, visit FavorFat.Substack.com.-FINE FINDS-I was recently shopping in Sprouts and a super cute tea brand caught my eye: Budda Teas. I bought the chamomile CBD tea and absolutely love the subtle aroma and taste. I was also stunned by how well I slept. (Normally I'm up once per evening to visit the loo, and not only did I skip that routine, I overslept!) To be clear, I cite “user error” in not setting my alarm clock correctly.As the holidays approach, please consider my book, The Nourishment Mindset, for those on your list. I enjoyed signing and personalizing gifts last holiday season and am also happy to include a card. You can buy it on Amazon or my website for a signed copy shipped free of charge.If you're a sweetheart and have already purchased, please consider spreading the love by recommending it to a friend and/or writing me a review on Amazon or your preferred podcast platform!

We've had a lot of wonderful guests on The Nourishment Mindset, and today's Terry Tucker is truly inspiring. His story of perseverance and survival is incredible, and his presence is extremely calming. Terry reminds me of a giant yogi, and I could tell within minutes of meeting him that he has high integrity and is a phenomenal husband and father. To top it off, he reveals not one, but two super rad encounters with the great Mike Krzyzewski. (If you don't know who Coach K is, please don't admit this to me!)Terry is the founder of Motivational Check, a company he founded to help people lead uncommon lives via sharing his inspiring story and framework for success. He's also the author of Sustainable Excellence, which details his ten principles. Terry emphasizes the three F's that help him when facing difficult challenges: faith, family and friends. And encourages us to channel our pain to become stronger. He also highlights that while it's worthy to spend time working on our health, fitness and other areas of our lives, that we also need to devote ourselves to cultivating our hearts, minds and souls.As is common for me, before I begin the interview in Episode #46, I get a little rant out of the way. Today's “victim” is the United States Department of Agriculture, or as I call it, The US Dumb Asses. They've recently wasted more tax payer dollars funding research on ultra-processed food and calling them healthy. Scream of conflict of interest, anyone?!! With our alarming rates of obesity (40+%), diabetes (50%+ when you include “prediabetes”) and metabolic dysfunction (90+%) we do not need research on this faux fare; the results are in — it's toxic!If you'd like a little ROI on what I hope is disgust, check out The Nutrition Coalition, a nimble non-profit working to expose this tomfoolery and demand that the US Dietary Guidelines use evidence based science (rather than Big Food funding).In better news, one of the world's most captivating culinary cultures — Italy, has voted to ban lab grown meat (aka mutt)! This will protect consumers and farmers, and most importantly celebrate real whole food.

Why are we talkin' about breathing, something we do automatically? There are a lot of different types of breathing. What is your breath like when you're nervous? Contrast that with how you're breathing at the end of a delicious meal filled with laughter and pause. Or as you're reading and beginning to doze off. It's true that most of the breaths we take are autonomic unconscious processes. And true that we can improve our cardiovascular, immune and psychological functioning with intentional breath work. I started researching breathing techniques while pregnant with my son, specifically enrolling in a HypnoBirthing class. Over the years I've expanded my practice to include a number of different practices for different reasons. Today, I'll share three techniques with you: three breathing exercises for relaxation, resolving a blocked nostril and strengthening your system, respectively. 1. Parasympathetic relaxation technique: here we slow down the breathing and use a simple counting technique to inhale and pause, then exhale and pause. 2.Soma Breath Unblock: here you learn how to unblock your nostril(s) when you awaken congested. 3. Wim Hof mini class: and finally we explore a method for strengthening your cardiovascular and immune systems developed by the Ice Man! For an excellent related read, check out What Doesn't Kill Us by Scott Carney! In closing, I offer some general advice I give clients: think of your health journey as a walking path where you're generally headed forward, one foot in front of the other. If you're holding yourself to a really strict “tight rope",” it's very hard to find self grace. Remember, every time you do something healthy — take a walk, get some natural light, eat a nourishing meal, you are investing in your health bank account. If and when you decide to take a withdrawal, this doesn't negate all of the deposits you've made. The aim is to make more deposits than you do withdrawals. In related human health news, my friend Nina Teicholz, author of one of my favorite books, The Big Fat Surprise as well as her Substack, Unsettled Science, has just written a great piece there called Whole Milk is Illegal. The nonprofit she founded, The Nutrition Coalition is working to support The Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act which aims to bring intact, more nutritious milk to our schools. To voice your support for this bi-partisan bill, find your congressperson and give him or her a quick call tomorrow! Make this two minute investment ASAP!

[04:49] What's the importance of LDL Cholesterol to our body? LDL cholesterol is highly conserved across different species, indicating its importance for life. The immune system uses LDL cholesterol. Low levels of LDL can lead to susceptibility to bacterial infections and cancer. There is ongoing research into the connection between low LDL levels and illness in people, and it has been discovered that some ICU patients have lower LDL levels. Drugs like Repatha and Praluent can drastically lower LDL levels. Still, no long-term safety data has yet to be available, and adverse effects may not always be reported to the database for post-marketing research. [09:17] What are some risks of having high or low LDL levels? Statins have been prescribed for decades, but adverse effects may not be reported until years later. LDL has many functions in the human body, some of which may not have been discovered yet. Studies have shown that people with the lowest LDL levels have higher cancer rates, infectious death, and autoimmune conditions. Some healthcare providers may not understand the human body's basic physiology of LDL cholesterol. [13:57] What's the benefit of presenting research studies to your doctor? Patients can bring research studies to their doctor to start a meaningful dialogue about their medication. Doctors may not be aware of certain research studies due to a lack of time to research every single topic. Pharmaceutical representatives may only present the benefits of medication without mentioning potential side effects or risks. Patients who bring in research studies may see positive results, such as doctors being more willing to adjust their medication dosage or prescribe a different medication. Patients can use their knowledge of research studies to have informed discussions with their doctors about their treatment plans, which could change the trajectory of medical practice. [22:19] Are healthcare and health insurance for better or worse? The healthcare and health insurance business model are not designed to profit from metabolically healthy people who eat a proper human diet. · The origins of health insurance can be traced back to the Nixon administration's wage freeze, which led to companies offering it as a fringe benefit to attract employees. Insurance companies saw an opportunity to make millions and created health insurance products with raised deductibles and lower coverage for profit. The current healthcare system in the United States faces challenges, including rising premiums and the debate over universal healthcare. [40:20] Cooking and Nutrition: Does Cooking Take Away the Food's Benefits? Cooking above 120 degrees Fahrenheit can denature some vital vitamins, polyphenols, and phytonutrients in food, but it is typically a small amount. Minerals and electrolytes are not affected by cooking, as they are elements on the periodic table. Cooking unlocks a bunch of nutrients that are not accessible in raw food. The raw food movement failed because it was difficult to consume enough raw plants to provide the body with sufficient nutrition, and people lost weight to the point of becoming unhealthy. Humans have been cooking food for at least 1 million years, and our bodies have evolved to optimize digestion with cooked food. Cooking meat for a medium rare or medium level of doneness mimics our ancestors' ways and provides many benefits with few drawbacks.

Reading the science changed Nina Teicholz's perspective on nutrition. She's a journalist and author who is known for her work on nutrition and health. As a vegetarian with a food review column, she had to eat red meat—exactly the dishes she stayed away from. However, upon checking with her doctor, she was surprised to find that her cholesterol actually improved. This experience led Nina to read the science behind nutrition. In this conversation, she tells us why saturated fats are not the villain, how easy it is to fall into the trap of believing popular narratives, and through her writing and advocacy, inspires us to question what we know and seek the truth. Nina understands the cost of speaking up against the nutrition industry and she remains committed to sharing the truth. She's not giving up on that.Quick Guide03:09 Introduction 06:27 How saturated fat became the villain11:13 Reading the science 17:38 The oils that can cause cancer and heart attack 30:37 No journalists are questioning the findings of the American Heart Association 35:44 Getting the message out there 39:15 Journalists stopped acting as the fourth estate 43:56 Average consumers need access to information51:57 Closing and contactsGet to know our guestNina Teicholz, the journalist who wrote The Big Fat Suprise, is the founder of Nutrition Coalition. She believes that there should be a unified movement to educate people and to provide organized advocacy efforts for more people to hear the message."Low carb comes out better on almost all metrics in terms of fighting heart disease, weight loss, metabolic glycemic control of your blood sugars, I mean, low-carb almost always looks better in those review papers. So, it's just really mystifying and hard to understand how the science is, I mean, I think it's hard to use a word other than suppress. At this point, it's literally being suppressed and ignored.

What underlies the war on fat? It's big business, wanting us all to eat more refined carbs and sugar to replace the fat calories that we've been instructed to reduce. And I can think of no one who has done more to open our eyes to this ongoing travesty than Nina Teicholz. Here's more about her from her website: Nina Teicholz is an investigative science journalist and leader in nutrition reporting who is challenging the conventional wisdom on dietary fat–particularly, whether saturated fat causes heart disease and whether fat really makes you fat. The New York Times bestselling author of The Big Fat Surprise. Teicholz also serves as Executive Director of The Nutrition Coalition, an independent non-profit group that promotes evidence-based nutrition policy. She is one of a new generation of researchers arguing that diets lower in carbohydrates are a scientifically sound approach for reversing nutrition-related diseases. For more than half a century, we've been told to eat a diet high in grains, low in fat, saturated fat (and cholesterol), but the last two decades of research have led a growing number of scientists to conclude that this diet, despite being rigorously tested, could never be shown to prevent any kind of disease. Teicholz's work also explains why this diet has remained official policy for so long: the roles played by crusading scientists, the food industry, and more. The story is as much about politics as it is about science, and Nina Teicholz's research ultimately confirms that the traditional foods we were told to abandon (meat, cheese, eggs, butter) are safe, and even good for health. Nina Teicholz has been called “The Rachel Carson of the nutrition movement.” Her book has been called a “must read” by some of the most prestigious medical journals in the world, including The Lancet, The BMJ, and the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. In speaking about Nina, the immediate past-president of the World Heart Federation, said at the Davos Cardiology Update Davos (2017) “She shook up the nutrition world, but she was right.” Please enjoy this compelling interview with one of my personal heroes. ==== TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 3:30 Contradictions in the Plant-based movement 10:02 Who funds the Food Pyramid 15:59 The Carbs & Fats Debate 22:36 Debunking Keto Myths 27:07 Debating Dr. David Katz 33:37 Answering Keto Questions 40:03 White House Conference on Nutrition 48:08 Conclusion ==== Nina Teicholz is a science journalist and author of the New York Times bestseller, The Big Fat Surprise, which upended the conventional wisdom on dietary fat–especially saturated fat and seed oils.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Athletic Greens, and BiOptimizers.For many of us, growing up we were told that eating foods high in fat is bad for you. Many people still believe that eating cholesterol and fat, especially saturated fat, causes heart attacks. Yet recent studies show there is no association between saturated fat consumption and adverse health outcomes like coronary disease or heart attacks. We also don't hear enough about insulin resistance as a main driver of cardiovascular disease. In today's episode, I talk with Nina Teicholz and Dr. Aseem Malhotra about the origins of the hypothesis that dietary fat raises cholesterol, subsequently increasing heart disease, and how it caught hold.Nina Teicholz is a science journalist and author of the New York Times bestseller The Big Fat Surprise, which upended the conventional wisdom on dietary fat—especially saturated fat—and spurred a new conversation about whether these fats in fact cause heart disease. Nina is also the founder of the Nutrition Coalition, a nonprofit working to ensure that government nutrition policy is transparent and evidence based—work for which she's been asked to testify before the US Department of Agriculture and the Canadian Senate. Dr. Aseem Malhotra is an NHS-trained consultant, cardiologist, and visiting professor of evidence-based medicine at the Bahiana School of Medicine and Public Health in Salvador, Brazil. He is a founding member of Action on Sugar. In 2015, he became the youngest member to be appointed to the board of trustees of the UK health charity The King's Fund. He is a pioneer of the lifestyle medicine movement in the UK and in 2018 was ranked by software company Onalytica as the number one doctor in the world influencing obesity thinking.This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Athletic Greens, and BiOptimizers.Rupa Health is a place where Functional Medicine practitioners can access more than 2,000 specialty lab tests from over 35 labs like DUTCH, Vibrant America, Genova, and Great Plains.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Nina Teicholz. She is an investigative science journalist and leader in nutrition reporting who is challenging the conventional wisdom on dietary fat–particularly, whether saturated fat causes heart disease and whether fat really makes you fat. The New York Times bestselling author of The Big Fat Surprise. Teicholz also serves as Executive Director of The Nutrition Coalition, an independent non-profit group that promotes evidence-based nutrition policy.

Teicholz's work also explains why this diet has remained official policy for so long: the roles played by crusading scientists, the food industry, and more. In this episode, Nina opens the show by explaining her obsession with studying fat. Nina realized that people were afraid to talk about fat because the food industry was pushing their agenda. Nina explains what was wrong in the 1950s, leading most people to believe that saturated fats and dietary cholesterol cause heart disease. Later, we talk about why the American Heart Association gets so many health facts wrong. Tune in as Nina busts common myths around red meat and who is really pushing vegan and vegetarian diets.

During her research, Nina came across studies pointing out the flaws in a low-fat diet. However, so many scientists at universities were terrified to talk to Nina about fat. Why? Because people in the food industry were paid to give scientists a hard time. Nina realized there was something really wrong going on here that had such enormous implications. Nutrition science from the very beginning has been heavily influenced by the food industry. For instance, the vegetable oil industry wanted to go after people for attacking vegetable oils in any way. You see the same tactics happening today on social media. [08:55] Polyunsaturated Fats vs. Saturated Fats vs. Monounsaturated Fats Fatty acids are long carbon chains. Poly means many. Polyunsaturated fats have many double bonds. Each time there's a double bond in the chain, it kinks the chain. Some examples of polyunsaturated fats: Corn oil Safflower oil Sunflower oil Canola oil Monounsaturated fats are the same carbon chain but with one double bond. If you want to use oil, it's better to use olive oil because it only has one double bond. Saturated means that the carbon chain is statured with hydrogen, and there is no double bond. It is a flat chain, and it makes a solid like butter. Saturated fats are actually the best for cooking, and they're the healthiest for eating because they do not oxidize or cause inflammation. [17:55] What Went Wrong In The 1950s With Ancel Keys and President Eisenhower The idea that fat, cholesterol, and animal foods are bad for health began in the 1950s. The US was really in a panic over the rising tide of heart disease, which had been virtually nonexistent in the early 1900s. In the 1930s, heart disease became the number one killer. A panic started when President Eisenhower himself had a heart attack in 1955. Eisenhower's doctor was convinced by Ancel Keys that saturated fats and dietary cholesterol cause heart disease. Plus, Ancel Keys got his ideas adopted by the American Heart Association. Ancel came out with a statement saying to avoid saturated fat and cholesterol in order to prevent heart attacks. We are still dealing with this in 2021. [23:00] Why Are Seed Oils Approved by the American Heart Association? How is it possible for the American Heart Association to continue to ignore so much scientific literature? More than 20 papers published in the field have concluded that we got it wrong on saturated fats. There is no data to justify the authorities' limits on these seed oils. It's challenging to trust the government with our health when they recommend seed oils. [31:00] Sorry Vegans, Meat-Eating Is Healthy For Humans Nina did not know how controversial red meat was until she put a picture of it on the cover of her book. Sadly, many people think that if you eat meat, you're a bad person, you don't believe in climate change, and you're not doing your part to protect the climate. There's this moral revulsion that has been created against meat. Influencers in the spheres of science and public health have vilified one of the healthiest foods on the planet. Meat was developed by humans in order to have a convenient and cheap source of protein. [33:15] Myth: Meat Causes Diabetes Diabetes is caused by elevated blood sugars. Sugar causes elevated blood sugars, so do carbs. Where's the sugar in meat? It's just nonexistent. It's impossible that meat would cause diabetes. Red meat consumption has gone down around 28% since 1970. Whereas, diabetes has skyrocketed out of control. [34:15] Myth: Red Meat Causes Colorectal Cancer The WHO decided that red meat and processed meats cause colorectal cancer. This decision was based on these kinds of weak science called epidemiological or observational studies that show associations instead of causation. The data they used was self-reported dietary data, and we all lie about what we eat. There needs to be a more significant discussion about the bias against red meat. [38:30] Why People Are Pushing Vegetarian and Vegan Diets The animal rights movement does not want people eating animals. The Seventh Day Adventist Church has a religious belief that people should eat a vegan diet.Plus, the food industry has an enormous investment in plant-based foods. Also, many companies want to hop on the climate change bandwagon. Many vegan burgers have vegetable oils that are not healthy. [41:30] Myth: There's a Correlation Between Red Meat Consumption and Heart Disease The original reason that red meat was thought to cause heart disease was based the fact that it contains saturated fat and cholesterol. However, research shows that saturated fat and cholesterol do not cause heart disease. Therefore, foods containing saturated fat and cholesterol don't cause heart disease. The correlation between saturated fat, cholesterol, and heart disease has been more rigorously and extensively studied than almost any other scientific question in the history of nutrition science. [47:15] Which To Cut First: Smoking Cigarettes, Processed Sugars, or Vegetable Oils People smoked historically for hundreds of years tobacco, but they did not get cancer or heart disease until the introduction of sugar. Nina says that smoking is probably safer than processed sugars or vegetable oils. Between sugar and vegetable oils, Nina says that vegetable oils are safer. People who go low-carb will see massive improvements even if they continue to use vegetable oils. AND MUCH MORE!

I am honored to connect with Dr. Mark Cucuzzella today. He is a Professor from West Virginia University School of Medicine, and a retired Air Force Reserve Lieutenant Colonel who practices Family Medicine and advocates for evidence-based policy and education. Dr. Cucuzzella has a fascinating background! He spent forty years as a humble yet seriously dedicated athlete, competing in over a hundred marathons and ultra-marathons. In this episode, he shares his perspective on shifting the paradigm to a low-carb diet, the impact of that on metabolic health, needing guideline Centrals for low-carb diets for patients, and hindrances to changing the narrative within the traditional allopathic medical model.

Nina lives in New York City with her husband and two sons. Nina's Books The Big Fat Surprise - Nina Teicholz Nina's Top Tips If you are looking at a study and it says “linked to” or “maybe connected to” that is a headline or study to just turn the page and move on. There is a lot of discussion from doctors about higher protein, in a low carb diet with combined with high intensity interval training (HIIT) and/or weight lifting. Wearing a constant glucose monitor (CGM) is one of the most illuminating ways to understand how your body responds to carbohydrates. Resources Mentioned Nina's Substack Quotes by Nina Teicholz “I found myself inexplicably losing weight.” “How we could have lived so long with this giant mass of misinformation.” “How did they become so settled, how can it be that they are wrong or mostly wrong because there are so many checks in place in science. How is it that nobody stood up and stopped this massive flood of misinformation along the way.” “I had to be convinced by the evidence first and that took me a while.” “It is not easy to be a questioner, somebody who is challenging the quite conventional wisdom all around them, all the time. That is not a comfortable place to be.” “How is it possible that I could be right and all these experts be wrong?” “The guidelines are their vehicle for ensuring their products are sold and consumed and they truly own this space.” “So many people are sick and suffering. They are not getting good advice. Then they are being blamed for failing at the bad advice.” “It is the role of science to have respectful disagreement.” “In the US, $800 billion in feeding programs all depend on the guidelines.” “I don't seen any nutrition journalist who is doing what journalists in every other area of enquiry do which is to follow the money.” Connect with Nina Teicholz on social media Twitter: https://twitter.com/bigfatsurprise Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/NinaTeicholz Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ninateicholz/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ninateicholz/ Website Details: https://ninateicholz.com https://unsettledscience.substack.com https://www.nutritioncoalition.us If you have enjoyed listening to this episode - Leave us a review By leaving us a review on your favourite podcast platform, you help us to be found by others.

Nina Teicholz is a professor (adjunct) at NYU's Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, the Executive Director of The Nutrition Coalition (a group devoted to evidence-based nutrition policy), an investigative science journalist and author. Her international bestseller, The Big Fat Surprise has upended the conventional wisdom on dietary fat–especially saturated fat–and challenged the very core of our nutrition policy. In addition, Teicholz has emerged was a thought leader in the field of evidence-based nutrition policy. Towards this end, she is the executive director of The Nutrition Coalition, a nonprofit, non-partisan group that is free from industry funding. Teicholz has testified before the Canadian Senate and the U.S. Department of Agriculture about the need to reform guidelines so that they are based on sound science.
Today, I am blessed to have here with me Nina Teicholz. She is an investigative science journalist and leader in nutrition reporting who is challenging the conventional wisdom on dietary fat–particularly, whether saturated fat causes heart disease and whether fat really makes you fat. The New York Times bestselling author of The Big Fat Surprise. Teicholz also serves as Executive Director of The Nutrition Coalition, an independent non-profit group that promotes evidence-based nutrition policy. She is one of a new generation of researchers arguing that diets lower in carbohydrates are a scientifically sound approach for reversing nutrition-related diseases. For more than half a century, we've been told to eat a diet high in grains, low in fat, saturated fat (and cholesterol), but the last two decades of research have led a growing number of scientists to conclude that this diet, despite being rigorously tested, could never be shown to prevent any kind of disease. Teicholz's work also explains why this diet has remained official policy for so long: the roles played by crusading scientists, the food industry, and more. In this episode, Nina opens the show by explaining her obsession with studying fat. Nina realized that people were afraid to talk about fat because the food industry was pushing their agenda. Nina explains what was wrong in the 1950s, leading most people to believe that saturated fats and dietary cholesterol cause heart disease. Later, we talk about why the American Heart Association gets so many health facts wrong. Tune in as Nina busts common myths around red meat and who is really pushing vegan and vegetarian diets.

During her research, Nina came across studies pointing out the flaws in a low-fat diet. However, so many scientists at universities were terrified to talk to Nina about fat. Why? Because people in the food industry were paid to give scientists a hard time. Nina realized there was something really wrong going on here that had such enormous implications. Nutrition science from the very beginning has been heavily influenced by the food industry. For instance, the vegetable oil industry wanted to go after people for attacking vegetable oils in any way. You see the same tactics happening today on social media. [08:55] Polyunsaturated Fats vs. Saturated Fats vs. Monounsaturated Fats Fatty acids are long carbon chains. Poly means many. Polyunsaturated fats have many double bonds. Each time there's a double bond in the chain, it kinks the chain. Some examples of polyunsaturated fats: Corn oil Safflower oil Sunflower oil Canola oil Monounsaturated fats are the same carbon chain but with one double bond. If you want to use oil, it's better to use olive oil because it only has one double bond. Saturated means that the carbon chain is statured with hydrogen, and there is no double bond. It is a flat chain, and it makes a solid like butter. Saturated fats are actually the best for cooking, and they're the healthiest for eating because they do not oxidize or cause inflammation. [17:55] What Went Wrong In The 1950s With Ancel Keys and President Eisenhower The idea that fat, cholesterol, and animal foods are bad for health began in the 1950s. The US was really in a panic over the rising tide of heart disease, which had been virtually nonexistent in the early 1900s. In the 1930s, heart disease became the number one killer. A panic started when President Eisenhower himself had a heart attack in 1955. Eisenhower's doctor was convinced by Ancel Keys that saturated fats and dietary cholesterol cause heart disease. Plus, Ancel Keys got his ideas adopted by the American Heart Association. Ancel came out with a statement saying to avoid saturated fat and cholesterol in order to prevent heart attacks. We are still dealing with this in 2021. [23:00] Why Are Seed Oils Approved by the American Heart Association? How is it possible for the American Heart Association to continue to ignore so much scientific literature? More than 20 papers published in the field have concluded that we got it wrong on saturated fats. There is no data to justify the authorities' limits on these seed oils. It's challenging to trust the government with our health when they recommend seed oils. [31:00] Sorry Vegans, Meat-Eating Is Healthy For Humans Nina did not know how controversial red meat was until she put a picture of it on the cover of her book. Sadly, many people think that if you eat meat, you're a bad person, you don't believe in climate change, and you're not doing your part to protect the climate. There's this moral revulsion that has been created against meat. Influencers in the spheres of science and public health have vilified one of the healthiest foods on the planet. Meat was developed by humans in order to have a convenient and cheap source of protein. [33:15] Myth: Meat Causes Diabetes Diabetes is caused by elevated blood sugars. Sugar causes elevated blood sugars, so do carbs. Where's the sugar in meat? It's just nonexistent. It's impossible that meat would cause diabetes. Red meat consumption has gone down around 28% since 1970. Whereas, diabetes has skyrocketed out of control. [34:15] Myth: Red Meat Causes Colorectal Cancer The WHO decided that red meat and processed meats cause colorectal cancer. This decision was based on these kinds of weak science called epidemiological or observational studies that show associations instead of causation. The data they used was self-reported dietary data, and we all lie about what we eat. There needs to be a more significant discussion about the bias against red meat. [38:30] Why People Are Pushing Vegetarian and Vegan Diets The animal rights movement does not want people eating animals. The Seventh Day Adventist Church has a religious belief that people should eat a vegan diet.Plus, the food industry has an enormous investment in plant-based foods. Also, many companies want to hop on the climate change bandwagon. Many vegan burgers have vegetable oils that are not healthy. [41:30] Myth: There's a Correlation Between Red Meat Consumption and Heart Disease The original reason that red meat was thought to cause heart disease was based the fact that it contains saturated fat and cholesterol. However, research shows that saturated fat and cholesterol do not cause heart disease. Therefore, foods containing saturated fat and cholesterol don't cause heart disease. The correlation between saturated fat, cholesterol, and heart disease has been more rigorously and extensively studied than almost any other scientific question in the history of nutrition science. [47:15] Which To Cut First: Smoking Cigarettes, Processed Sugars, or Vegetable Oils People smoked historically for hundreds of years tobacco, but they did not get cancer or heart disease until the introduction of sugar. Nina says that smoking is probably safer than processed sugars or vegetable oils. Between sugar and vegetable oils, Nina says that vegetable oils are safer. People who go low-carb will see massive improvements even if they continue to use vegetable oils. AND MUCH MORE!

Is saturated fat good or bad? Nina Teicholz's book, The Big Fat Surprise, took the diet industry by storm. In it, she discusses the science and politics of fat, and red meat. Learn why butter, meat, and cheese belong IN a healthy diet during this interview. While the whole-foods, plant-based diet is being touted as the healthiest diet for humans, if you already have insulin resistance (which 85% of adults do), this approach won't be the most effective for you to lose weight and keep it off.While you may have heard that saturated fat is linked to heart disease, cancer, and type 2 diabetes, Nina provides a compelling argument otherwise based on thousands of hours of research. She talks about what's wrong with the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2020 Update, and benefits of eating red meat. If you're one who's been struggling with wanting to eat more fat, but afraid that eating a low carb high fat diet isn't healthy, this interview will give you a fresh perspective and peace of mind.

In this episode we host author Nina Teicholz to discuss healthy eating and the sorry state of fiat nutrition science. We begin with the corrupt scientific establishment’s treatment of Mary Enig, John Yudkin, and other great scholars who went against the dogma promoted by industrial food manufacturers. We further discuss dietary guidelines, why they came about, and how disastrously effective they have been at getting people the world over to abandon the foods of their ancestors in favor of the heavily-marketed highly-profitable industrial waste. We discuss the work of Ancel Keys, nutrition’s equivalent of John Maynard Keynes, who disfigured nutrition science for decades, popularized a fictitious Mediterranean diet, and strengthened the crusade against meat, eggs, animal fat, and cholesterol. As the nutrition science establishment has remained wedded to the nonsensical diet-heart hypothesis even after decades of contrary evidence, we discuss how fiat funding disfigures the scientific process and prevents it from self-correcting, and why bitcoin can fix this, too. We conclude with discussing Nina’s Nutrition Coalition and the commendable work they are doing to counter establishment nutrition science, and we convince her to start accepting bitcoin donations!

Nina Teicholz is an investigative science journalist and an adjunct professor at NYU. She is the author of the best-selling book, "The Big Fat Surprise", which challenges conventional thinking regarding dietary fat and government dietary policy. She is also Executive Director of The Nutrition Coalition, a non-profit, non-partisan educational organization with the primary goal of ensuring that U.S. nutrition policy is based on rigorous scientific evidence. Tune in for her thoughts on nutrition and health, particularly COVID.
How Are We to Interpret the New Dietary Guidelines for Americans? The United States government recently issued its Dietary Guidelines for Americans. This happens every five years so we are now going to have these guidelines in place until 2025. Unfortunately, as you will see, these guidelines are profoundly insufficient as they relate to nutrition. They are administered to all Americans and become the backbone of nutrition for schools and the military and the general population of our country. In fact, the diet that is recommended is designed only for healthy people, and ultimately that represents only about 12% of our population. This is a one-size-fits-all diet that does not reflect the diversity of our country in terms of race, culture, and importantly, variations in metabolic health. The diet recommends greater than 50% of calories coming from carbohydrates and includes three servings of refined grains per day and up to 10% of calories coming from pure sugar. And all this despite the fact that an expert committee provided incredibly robust science, accumulated over the past decade, showcasing the profoundly detrimental health effects of the very diet that was approved. Today we will spend time with Nina Teicholz as we explore and deconstruct these new guidelines. We’ve had her on the program before, and let me tell you a little bit more about her. Nina Teicholz, a science journalist, is author of the New York Times bestseller, The Big Fat Surprise, which upended the conventional wisdom on dietary fat–especially saturated fat—and spurred a new conversation about whether these fats in fact cause heart disease. Named a *Best Book* of the year by the Economist, Wall Street Journal and Mother Jones, among others, it continues to be called a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the amazing story of how we came to believe fat is bad for health—and what a better diet might look like. Nina is also the founder of the Nutrition Coalition, a non-profit working to ensure that government nutrition policy is transparent and evidence-based—work for which she’s been asked to testify before the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Canadian Senate. Teicholz is a graduate of Stanford and Oxford Universities and previously served as associate director of the Center for Globalization and Sustainable Development at Columbia University. I am hopeful that each of you will continue to explore what makes for good nutrition, especially as it relates to your individual needs.
"The executive editor of “The Lancet” wrote, “this is a disquieting book about scientific incompetence, evangelical ambition, and ruthless silencing of dissent that has shaped our lives for decades…researchers, clinicians, and health policy advisors should read this provocative book.” A review in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition said, “This book should be read by every scientist…[and] every nutritional science professional.” In the BMJ (British Medical Journal), the journal’s former editor wrote, “Teicholz has done a remarkable job in analysing [the] weak science, strong personalities, vested interests, and political expediency” of nutrition science. "The Big Fat Surprise was named a 2014 *Best Book* by The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Mother Jones, Kirkus Reviews and Library Journal." While most folks from the human nutrition & metabolic health side of the Ruminati Herd will be familiar with her, "Big Fat Surprise," and her continuing work, she's always worth listening to! "Nina is a professor (adjunct) at NYU’s Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, the Executive Director of The Nutrition Coalition (a group devoted to evidence-based nutrition policy), an investigative science journalist and author. Her international bestseller, The Big Fat Surprise has upended the conventional wisdom on dietary fat–especially saturated fat–and challenged the very core of our nutrition policy."

⭐️ Nina Teicholz is a highly respected investigative journalist and reporter who has worked for NPR and regularly been featured in publications including The New York Post, Gourmet Magazine, Men's Health, The Washington Post, The New Yorker and more. Nina is also an author whose book "The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet" has become a seminal work in the keto community. Her research has uncovered many issues that where created with poorly executed dietary research; research that is often the result of strategic manipulation influenced with funding from large food and drug corporations. Nina has been challenging the results of these bad studies which have become the dietary dogma ingrained in our culture. Nina has been an outspoken leader when it comes to making positive changes to the nutritional guidelines of the nation as well as taking on the powerful lobbying groups who benefit financially with the current guidelines and the declining health of the population. As a part of Nina's mission to create change and replace diet myth with nutrition fact, she created The Nutrition Coalition to educate people on dietary research, inform people of the policies in government that affect the health of the people, and to make changes in the government and national policies themselves.To follow Nina Teicholz and become a member of the Nutrition Coalition, check out the links below:
