The Fad Doctor That is Full of BS
Lately, I have been so alarmed about the misinformation floating around on the web - especially as it pertains to nutrition. I think what makes this topic so difficult to discuss is the fact that you may be having a conversation with someone on this topic and both will shake their head in agreement and yet each individual will have opposing views in mind while assuming they are in fact seeing alignment or agreement on what "misinformation" is. Which brings me to Dr. Aseem Malhotra. I believe he has done so much damage to milliions of individuals - touting that saturated fats do not cause heart disease (via high cholesterol and hence plaque build-up). He essentially ignores some of the most reputable, long-term data out there. Here is a critique from Dr. Gil Carvalho: https://youtu.be/HkRJn6CyoQM?si=dOXqbeaqUjhlw7IN. I wish he would have called out the work of Dr. Esselstyn - but worth watching for sure.
What are your thoughts? What areas of nutrition do you still find confusing? Thanks for being here!
No, but I’m adding it to mine, too! Brain health—even my own after a TBI—often feels beyond what research can reasonably cover with its compartmentalized approach.
