Episode 64
Monday, 16 March, 2026
Text Dr. Black your questions or comments.Dietary fat is one of the most confusing topics in nutrition. One decade it’s the villain. The next, it’s the hero. Right now, social media is telling us that seed oils are toxic and beef tallow is a health food.In this episode, I break down dietary fat in a way that’s practical and evidence-based but not boring. I explain what fat is, why we need it, how different types of fat behave in the body, and why the current seed-oil-versus-tallow debate misses the real issue. I also talk about omega-6 fats, inflammation, frying, and why focusing on the whole food package matters more than demonizing individual ingredients.Finally, I share simple, doable strategies to help you use fat intentionally — supporting long-term cardiometabolic health without turning food into a math problem.In this episode, you’ll learn:What fat is and why it’s essential for healthThe difference between saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatsWhy omega-6 fats are not inherently inflammatoryWhy frying is the real problem — not which oil you useHow seed oils and beef tallow are both processed for safety and stabilityPractical ways to reduce saturated fat and increase healthier fatsHow to use fat where it actually adds flavor and satisfactionResources & links:Avocado Green Goddess DressingCooking Oils & Fats from Health Meets Food and the American Academy of Culinary Medicine.
