BITESIZE: Is RFK Right About Saturated Fat? Here's the Truth

Is saturated fat really the villain it’s been made out to be? Or has decades of poor research and dietary policy misled us?

In this video, Dr. Bret Scher dives into the controversy surrounding RFK Jr.'s call to remove the cap on saturated fat, and the Wall Street Journal’s misleading take on it.

We explore:

✅ Why saturated fat doesn’t just mean pizza and ice cream

✅ The science behind whole foods vs. processed foods

✅ How carbs, fats, and metabolic health interact

✅ What the evidence really says about saturated fat and heart disease

✅ Why individualized, whole-food diets matter

Removing the cap on saturated fat isn’t about giving fat a health halo, it's about making room for nutrient-dense, metabolically supportive diets.
