Danny Lennon is one of the most respected and longest-tenured evidence based nutrition authorities in the world. It’s an honour to welcome him back for an incredibly nuanced and level-headed conversation on one of the most contentious topics in all of nutrition - seed oils.
In a landscape filled with loud, sensational nutrition claims, Danny brings clarity, evidence, and calm to a discussion that desperately needs it.
We talk about:
• Whether seed oils are truly harmful or unfairly demonized
• The impact of seed oils on cardiovascular health and LDL cholesterol
• Whether seed oils are responsible for modern obesity or metabolic dysfunction
• How to think about nuance and scientific honesty in an era of nutrition fear-mongering
• The importance of Omega 3 and Omega 6 intake
• Whether the Omega 3 to 6 ratio actually matters
• The differences between fresh caught and farmed salmon for Omega intake
• What the evidence says about high LDL cholesterol and health risks
• How to effectively and realistically lower LDL cholesterol
• And much more
