TED TALK on The BIG Fat Surprise

Featured Video Play Icon

Nina Teicholz is the author of The Big Fat Surprise Her book is the most thorough examination of all the research studies that have been carried out on fats and oils relating to health. No one has EVER taken the time to dig in the way she has. Her research into this research was so tremendously complete and thorough, that no one should be able to attack her research. They will instead have to attack her in the bogus ways that happen a lot in the press today. When powerful people are trying to suppress the actual facts, they say irrelevant things (because it works due to the publics ignorance and lack of common sense). They attack the person instead of the facts. They will say Nina is not a scientist which is true. They will say she is neither a physician nor a PhD which is also true. They will say “but everyone knows that saturated animal fats are bad for us”. Yes it is true that almost everyone knows this, but they are and have always been WRONG. It is very good to see that someone, Thank you Nina, has taken to time to so completely and fanatically show us and prove what the research actually has said. I have been saying these things for over 20 years in my classes and to my students and thank you Nina for showing us the science (and the politics) in such amazing detail in your book and briefly in this TED Talk.
