The webinar “Animal fats: separating fact from fiction” was presented on Monday, February 12.

Nina Teicholz, New York Times best-selling author of The Big Fat Surprise, explains the history of how saturated fats, including butter, came to be unfairly vilified based on weak science, and how the idea that these fats cause heart disease has been thoroughly debunked. She describes the politics of this science, past and present.
