In this solo episode, Leanne delves into new research published by McMaster University in August 2017 about a large study that has just been done. The findings of the study indicate that people who consumed more dietary fat (and at least 3.5 portions of veg a day) had a lower risk of death than those who cut fat from their diet. These findings support other studies done over the last two decades, but fly in the face of the perceived wisdom about fat – many of us still seek low-fat options whilst overconsuming refined carbohydrates. Leanne explores why this is, explains why dietary fat is vital for our diets and advises on how to include it in your diet as part of a personalised nutrition program.
