Think a fatless salad is healthier? Think again — fats are essential to absorb key nutrients. In this 2-minute summary (original episode 19 minutes), host Johnny Cole Dickson unpacks how a century of bad nutrition messaging — from Dr. Lulu Hunt Peters to industry-funded research — led to the anti-fat myth and why that’s misguided. Learn the science behind fat-soluble vitamins, how a small study showed full-fat dressing dramatically boosts vitamin A, E, K and lycopene absorption, and practical swaps: make dressings with olive or avocado oil and skip chemically altered fat-free bottled dressings. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
