Can guacamole lower your cholesterol as well as other whole food fat sources such as nuts, or is it just avocado industry spin. Subscribe to NutritionFacts.org’s free newsletter to receive our B12 infographic that covers the latest research takeaways and Dr. Greger’s updated recommendations: https://nutritionfacts.org/subscribe/ What about adding avocado to a plant-based diet. Would there be any benefit then? That’s the topic of my next video, Avocados Lower Small Dense LDL Cholesterol (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/Avocados-Lower-Small-Dense-LDL-Cholesterol). Why do we care about cholesterol? See, for example, Cholesterol Crystals May Tear Through Our Artery Lining (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/cholesterol-crystals-may-tear-though-our-artery-lining/). What should we shoot for? See Optimal Cholesterol Level (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/optimal-cholesterol-level). In addition to adding cholesterol lowering foods, we need to first reduce our intake of cholesterol-raising foods. See Trans Fat, Saturated Fat, and Cholesterol: Tolerable Upper Intake of Zero https://nutritionfacts.org/video/trans-fat-saturated-fat-and-cholesterol-tolerable-upper-intake-of-zero/).

The Real Skinny on Fat is a 9-part documentary series that uncovers the truth about FAT and how it affects your health, your weight, and your aging. It is available to watch online for FREE. Be sure to sign up here to join us https://therealskinnyonfat.com and receive your unique viewing link! The following video is the full length interview I did with Drew Manning, discussing his amazing and motivational story! We released a highlight version a few weeks ago but decided to post the full interview for you all to see. Drew is a renown personal trainer with a unique story, he is a Keto coach, blogger, and bestselling author of fit2fat2fit. This second concept was based on Drew’s own experience of intentionally gaining 75 lbs of fat through a combination of quitting exercise completely and eating an unhealthy diet of processed and sugary foods —in large quantities— for 6 months, in order to put himself in his clients’ shoes and better understand the reality of food addictions, the struggle of weight loss, self-control, discipline, and eating properly, and much more, which he explains in detail in this video. The results he experienced are fascinating from a weight loss and health and wellness perspective and give us real insight into the process of transforming our bodies, both in the right and wrong ways.  Special thanks to Drew for his time and being involved in the series and for sharing his knowledge and experience. Be sure to visit my website to learn more about the full documentary and of course, hit that subscribe button to get notified as well as the little notification bell to receive alerts, as more of this content is coming up soon.

A high-fructose, high-fat diet can cause harmful effects to the livers of adult rats, according to new research, providing new insight into the effects of adding fructose to a Western diet high in fat. The study showed that short-term consumption of a Western diet, rich in saturated fats and fructose, is more damaging for healthy liver development than following a high fat diet alone.

The excessive consumption of white rice can contribute to overweight, obesity and blood sugar disorders. Exciting research indicates adding coconut oil while cooking it can dramatically and positively alter its nutritional structure and function.

Build better bile with our Bile Builder! The 6 key nutrients in our capsules are: choline, taurine, beet root, pancreatic lipase, ox bile, and collinsonia root.

The powerful black seed strikes again! This time proving that food can be a powerful asthma medication alternative.

In a study of rats, scientists found that caffeine limited weight gain and cholesterol production, despite a diet that was high in fat and sugar.

Millions use a toxic chemical known as DEET to repel insects. Compelling new research shows that a far safer and more effective food-based alternative exists.

The treatment of concussions and traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a clinical challenge. Clinical studies thus far have failed to identify an effective treatment strategy when a combination of targets controlling aspects of neuroprotection, neuroinflammation, and neuroregeneration is needed. According to emerging science and clinical experience, aggressive intake of omega-3 fatty acids (n-3FA) seems to be beneficial to TBI, concussion, and post-concussion syndrome patients.

A global consortium of researchers banded together to conduct an epidemiological study analyzing specific omega-3 fatty acid biomarkers and heart disease. They found that blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids from seafood and plant-based foods are associated with a lower risk of fatal heart attack.
