Episode Description
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.
