Dr. Peter McCullough

Well, that's a fair comment, but I can tell you nutritional epidemiology is highly flawed because nobody sticks on a diet and people are all over the place and they're trying to do food frequency questionnaires.

The only groups who really stay on a diet and they stick with it are particular religious groups.

And the one to point to are the Adventists.

Now, Ben Carson has been named our National Nutrition Advisor.

It's interesting.

Adventists are lifelong vegans.

They don't eat any animal proteins at all.

No dairy, no saturated fat whatsoever.

And they're some of the longest-lived, healthiest people in the country, the Seventh-day Adventists.

Well, I mean, this idea of you don't drink cooking oil, you're using it for cooking, and there are some nuances there.

But this idea of eating sticks of butter or eating steak three times a day, what have you, you're talking massive consumption of saturated fat.

So I can just tell you as a doctor, what I do is I keep my saturated fat intake less than 10 grams a day.

What does that equate to?

If I had a Morton steak, that would be 20 grams.

Okay, it's not too bad.

But how about a Whataburger and fries?

That's 60 grams of saturated fat.

How about a pizza?

That's 40 grams of saturated fat, several slices.

We actually have to get to grams of fat that you'd want to stay below.
