Udo Erasmus, Ph.D. Nutrition is one of North America’s foremost authorities on the role that dietary fats and oils play in human health. With a background in biochemistry, genetics, and nutrition, Udo has spent over four decades pioneering the healthy fats/oils movement. As the co-founder of Udo’s Choice supplement brand and the author of Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill, he has been a leading voice in raising manufacturing standards for food oils and has improved the health of millions of people through his work and advocacy.

In this episode, Udo and I talk about myths about dietary fats, why the misconceptions around fat persist despite research proving otherwise, the problem with most commercial oils, the influence of processed foods on our overall health, butter versus margarine, why he created his healthy oil supplements, and so much more!
