Have you heard the sayings “you are what you eat” or “food is medicine”? Last night I watched one of the best movies I’ve seen about food and its impact on recovery from disease.

There’s a lot of confusion and contradictory advice about saturated fats, even from doctors and nutritionists. Fats, especially saturated fats, have been demonized for decades for causing weight gain, diabetes, heart disease and a host of other health problems.
