My number one thing that I like people to focus on is the vegetable oils, because of the quantity that we consume them in now makes them very significant, and the fact that we do know that they produce substances that can mutate dna.
Ever wondered what the secret to a healthy diet is? Dr. Catherine Shanahan, a board-certified family physician who oversees the Los Angeles Lakers' nutrition program, joins Dr. Drew Pinsky and Dr. Bruce Heischober on 'Weekly Infusion' to shed light on this very question. In her book 'Deep Nutrition', Dr. Shanahan breaks down the 'four pillars of the human diet', drawing from nutritional wisdom that's stood the test of time across cultures worldwide.
This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice and eye-opening facts about what we eat and how it affects our health. Dr. Shanahan doesn't just talk theory; she gets into the nitty-gritty of why certain foods are beneficial and others are harmful. She explains how vegetable oils, which are prevalent in many modern diets, can be detrimental due to their ability to produce substances that mutate DNA.
She also critiques past nutritional studies, like those by Ancel Keys, for their flawed methodologies—highlighting the difference between using margarine filled with trans fats versus natural fats like butter and eggs. The conversation also dives into hot topics like red meat consumption and its controversies, advocating for the inclusion of good fats in your diet. Dr. Shanahan stresses the importance of being mindful about food packaging, as many products contain hidden chemicals that can harm our health.
She even touches on societal changes, such as the impact of more women entering the workforce on obesity rates. If you're looking to understand the science behind what you eat and want practical tips for a healthier lifestyle, this episode is a must-listen. Dr. Shanahan's insights offer a fresh perspective on nutrition that's both accessible and actionable.
