In fact, there were campaigns that were occurring to lead us to believe that that is true.

And now we see that fat is not inherently bad.

It's the choice.

So to me, really our goal is to enhance the quality of our diet.

We can enhance our carbohydrates by consuming more fiber.

Fiber is a carbohydrate.

And we can enhance our fats by making the proper choices.

The types of fats that we want to prioritize

are monounsaturated fats, which you will find in extra virgin olive oil, avocados, many nuts.

And the second type of fat that we want to prioritize are the omega-3 polyunsaturated fats.

These omega-3 fats are what we call essential.

And what that means is much like essential protein, our body is not capable of producing this type of fat.

So we are required to get this in our diet.

And you can find these omega-3 polyunsaturated fats in many seeds.

So like chia seeds, flax seeds, hemp seeds, basil seeds.

You'll find them in walnuts, but you'll also find them in fish and shellfish.

And once again, it's important that we get this in our diet.

And if we're not going to get it in our diet, then that's an argument in favor of getting it through a supplement.

We need more research, Jonathan.

There's so much more.
