Summary

Brad Kearns welcomes back one of the most popular guests from the old days! Dr. Cate has been hard at work preparing the launch of her revised and updated bestseller Deep Nutrition, originally published in 2008 and relaunching a 512-page masterpiece in 2017. Cate gives you the straight scoop on her favorite topics, particularly the disastrous misinformation about dietary fats that has been entrenched in conventional wisdom for decades. Cate details why "natural fats" are so critical to human health, and how refined high polyunsaturated vegetable oils are directly responsible for hundreds of thousands of premature deaths annually. They disrupt normal cellular function immediately upon ingestion, increase oxidative stress throughout the body, and damage brain function in particular; this is the #1 disease catalyst in modern life, an underlying factor in every chronic disease study.

Cate outs conventional wisdom as conducting a massive experiment to "feed modern humans the cheapest possible food and see what will happen." She outs researcher Ancel Keys as the dude who drove us toward bad fats and away from healthy fats ("he knew he was wrong too!," laments Cate). Speaking of losing weight, refined polyunsaturated vegetable oils are more likely to be stored and less likely to be burned than natural fats. In summary, here's how to save your life and optimize your health: Ditch refined high polyunsaturated vegetable oils (watch out when dining out; most restaurant food--fast food to fine dining--is soaked in these gnarly oils); eat more natural fats (eggs, meat, cheese, coconut products, olives/olive oil, avocados/avocado oil, etc.).

0:48.9	Brad. Right. We have our energy up and we'll jump in right where we left off. So your other claim to fame
0:57.8	calling card is your discussion about sugar. And the one that sticks with me, speaking of a pun,
1:04.1	is your analogy that, you know, when you, we know what sugar is, we know when our hands get
1:09.4	dirty when we're making the lemonade, there's a sticky residue and you informed us on a previous podcast and on the videos that
1:16.6	sugar is actually a sticky molecule and does the same thing when you ingest it into your body
1:23.6	and goes and grabs onto important structural proteins and throws off their proper mechanism.
1:30.8	Can you discuss now about sugar how that guy is a dietary enemy as well?
1:36.2	Yeah, so sugar is sticky, and the chemical reason that it's sticky is because it glycates protein. So glycate just means, it's a chemical
1:47.6	word for when a sugar molecule attaches to another molecule. And so sugar feels tacky or like
1:53.9	juices if they dry in your fingertips and jelly jars are hard to open if you got a lot of jelly around the edge because
2:02.4	that glycation process occurs spontaneously over time and it's a it's kind of like a glue
