Nina Teicholz spent nearly a decade researching nutrition policy and dietary fat, culminating in the publication of her spellbinding book "The Big Fat Surprise." In it, she\xa0explains the politics, personalities, and history of how we came to believe that dietary fat is bad for health. Her book\xa0was the first mainstream publication to make the full argument for why\xa0saturated\xa0fats\u2013the kind found in dairy, meat, and eggs\u2013are not bad for health.

In today's episode, she discusses what initially propelled her to pursue this topic. The answers (and stonewalling) she encountered on her quest to find out more are eye-opening. What she discovered has led her to become an advocate for\xa0changing our\xa0diets to\xa0improve our health. Steps include avoiding vegetable oils and, of course, embracing saturated fats in their place.\xa0
