13. Fat, Part Two: Animal Fats Are the Best Fats

The Road to Carnivore

Welcome to Episode 13 of The Road to Carnivore Podcast!

This 26-minute episode is part 2 of a 2-episode discussion on dietary fat, the fat that you eat.
In this episode, we discuss the three major types of fat: saturated fat, monounsaturated fat, and polyunsaturated fat.
You’ll learn why and how PUFAs, the vegetable and seed oils that are in everything today, are so damaging and harmful to the human body. These are incredibly unstable fats that oxidize easily, and have been shown to massively increase the risk of cancer by breaking down into toxic aldehydes and degraded triglycerides, suppress the immune system, make humans (and animals) fat by blocking thyroid function, act as a major driver or coronary heart disease, cause genetic changes in the brain, blood sugar dysregulation, systemic inflammation, and so much more. These are poisons and extremely damaging to health.
You’ll also learn why saturated fats, particularly animal saturated fats, are the best fats you can eat. These are the most stable fats, and there are numerous nutrients in animal fats that can’t be found in plants at all. These fats also contain the lowest amounts by far of linoleic acid, which is the specific omega-6 PUFA that has been demonstrated to be damaging to the body.
And finally, we discuss why olive oil and avocado oil are not as healthy as most people think.
