Is saturated fat bad?

September 11 2016 by in About membership, Saturated fat

Low carb works great for weight loss and type 2 diabetes reversal. But won’t eating all that saturated fat clog your arteries and kill you? That’s what we used to be told – though lately even very conventional and mainstream experts have started to doubt it.

So what’s the real story? We asked six of the top low-carb doctors in the world to give their quick and spontaneous answers, and made the video above (transcript).

Here are the doctors in the video:
