Show Notes:

00:00 A review of randomized control trials of at least 24-month duration.
00:45 There are nutrients/vitamins in fat.
01:30 There was little or no effect on cardiovascular or all-cause mortality by reducing
saturated fat for 2 years.
01:38 Reducing saturated fat possibly reduced cardiovascular events.
04:00 Heart attack risk and saturated fat reduction has no clear correlation.
05:30 Replacing saturated fat with polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fat, carbs, or protein
effects did not differ.
06:15 There may be a prevention of second heart attacks with saturated fat reduction.
07:00 Other cardiovascular events and cancer outcomes effects were very small or unclear.
08:00 Carbohydrates and processed foods are often used to replace saturated fat in the diet.

0:25 The Fructose Survival Hypothesis theory of obesity.
1:10 Fructose reduces the active energy within your cells.
2:50 Table sugar contains glucose and fructose.
2:55 Excessive glucose can be converted into fructose.
4:10 Fructose kinase enzyme is a key initiator of deleterious fructose/glucose effects.
4:55 Leptin causes you to seek more food. Excess fructose/glucose drives hyperleptinemia.
6:45 Fruit sugar increases body fat storage to help you survive the winter.
7:24 Aging pathways are disrupted with high levels of blood sugar.
10:00 Uric acid, and liver enzyme elevation may be biomarkers.
12:10 High carb/high salt diets increase risk of diabetes.
