Rethinking saturated fat and cholesterol, with Zoe Harcombe

Rethinking saturated fat and cholesterol, with Zoe Harcombe

We're often told saturated fat is bad for our health - but is it? Dr Zoe Harcombe joins Liz on this episode of the podcast to share why we may need to rethink saturated fat and cholesterol, and the implications for our health.


Liz and Zoe discuss increasing rates of obesity, whether current dietary guidelines may need updating, and debunk common myths about fat in our food.

The episode also takes a closer look at ‘good’ HDL cholesterol and ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol - and what the evidence may indicate instead for our brain health.
