Does saturated fat increase your risk for heart disease? Or is it safer than we’ve been told?

A new meta-analysis says cutting saturated fat doesn’t reduce the risk of heart attacks, heart-related death, or all-cause mortality. But in this video, Dr. Bret Scher explains why that answer is only part of the story, and why the real question should be: “Does this research apply to me?”

Watch to learn:

- The findings of the new saturated fat study
- Why not all saturated fats are created equal
- How dietary context and food quality matter more than isolated nutrients
- The limitations of nutrition science in real-world decision-making

Improving metabolic health is a crucial but often overlooked element in mental and physical well-being. Many research studies fall short by not accounting for the complexity and individuality of this process. While scientific evidence continues to evolve, it’s important to be your own researcher and find what works best for you and progresses you towards your health goals.
