About this episode

DARK CALORIES BOOK LINK: https://www.amazon.com/Dark-Calories-...


Please join me in welcoming Dr. Catherine Shanahan, author of “Dark Calories”. Dr. Shanahan graduated from medical school in 1994. She explains that doctors only learn a limited amount of information about nutrition.


Her book “Dark Calories” explains that addressing the root cause of health problems can improve chronic health conditions.


Seed oils are problematic because they initiate the formation of toxins. Seed oils are also rancid, and their rancidity often goes undetected. They are unstable fatty acids that have been refined, bleached, deodorized, and lack any nutritional value whatsoever.


Seed oils are made with heat and pressure. Through the manufacturing process, toxins continue to develop, multiply, and change. Cooking and reheating with these toxic oils creates more toxins.


Seed oils cause oxidation and free radicals, both of which destroy our cellular membranes and cellular health.


The good news about seed oils is that removing them from your diet is one of the most powerful things you can do for your health.


Dr. Shanahan explains that she knew there was a problem after seeing children with more health problems than their great-grandparents. She then diligently researched what could be causing these health problems: the answer was seed oils.


Omega-6 polyunsaturated fats from seed oils can significantly damage the mitochondria and are also stored in fat cells. Seed oil consumption is at the root of obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic diseases.


Dr. Shanahan recommends olive oil, butter, coconut oil, peanut oil, and sesame oil as alternatives to seed oils.
