Author: ZOE January 27, 2026 Duration: 11:19
Today, we’re talking about fat. Since founding ZOE, I’ve actually started eating more fat. That might surprise you. Because for decades, we’ve been told to fear it. “Fatty foods will clog your arteries and send your cholesterol through the roof.” Right? Well, it’s not that simple. How ‘fat’ affects your health depends on a number of factors, including the type of fat, the food matrix and even how it’s produced. One thing is for sure, that single number on the front of a food packet, isn’t going to give you the full story. I’m joined by Professor Sarah Berry to dig deeper into fat. Uncovering which will harm us and which can help us heal. 🌱 Try our new plant based wholefood supplement - Daily30+ *Naturally high in copper which contributes to normal energy yielding metabolism and the normal function of the immune system 📚Books by our ZOE Scientists The Food For Life Cookbook Every Body Should Know This by Dr Federica Amati Food For Life by Prof. Tim Spector Ferment by Prof. Tim Spector Free resources from ZOE How to eat in 2026 - Discover ZOE’s 8 nutrition principles for long-term health Live Healthier: Top 10 Tips From ZOE Science & Nutrition Gut Guide - For a Healthier Microbiome in Weeks  Better Breakfast Guide Have feedback or a topic you'd like us to cover?
