meredith for real: the curious introvert Meredith Hackwith Edwards

In part two of my interview with Nina Teicholz, author of The Big Fat Surprise, we dig into the backlash of her research, how Proctor & Gamble threatened to pull advertising, name-calling & nutritional bullies. She also reveals theories on why the USDA’s guidelines have not changed from recommending a low fat, low cholesterol diet even though heart disease is on the rise. She gives recommendations to find a low carb doctor & best practices for a healthy metabolic system.
