Dr. Gundry Exposes The Shocking Truth About Vegetable Oil

No matter how committed you are to healthy eating, unfortunately, there's a good chance your pantry contains at least one of these incredibly sneaky and dangerous ingredients. I’m talking about vegetable oils, like corn, peanut, safflower, soybean and more.

In fact, about one third of Americans' caloric intake comes from these toxic seed oils - yet most people don't know what they even are, or how they impact health.

For example, my guest reveals that consuming a large serving of french fries—cooked in vegetable oil—delivers the toxicity of smoking 24 cigarettes!

My guest today is Dr. Cate Shanahan, a Cornell-trained biochemist turned family physician and New York Times bestselling author. In her groundbreaking new book, "Dark Calories: How Vegetable Oils Destroy Our Health and How We Can Get It Back," Dr. Shanahan exposes how seed oils are sabotaging our health, and provides a blueprint for taking back control.

We explore how these vegetable oils made their way into almost every pantry in America (if you guessed low cost and high profit, you’re on to something!), the shocking evidence linking these oils to serious disease, and what you can do to eliminate them from your diet for good.
