ANTHONY G. JAY

• Vinnie interviewed this brilliant scientist
  • PhD in Biochemistry
• Look out for the 1 on 1, coming out April 7th
• Vinnie also just did a 1 on 1 with Nina Teicholz that came out recently
  • The two mimic the same thing

FAKE SCIENCE

• Multiple doctors have told Vinnie that low fat is BS
  • Many of whom are Cardiologists
• Often these doctors are not willing to come onto the show because of SAD
  • Too bad, because these doctors are the ones saving the most lives
• It is hard to go against the ‘norm’, even when the norm is wrong
• A lot of published science about cholesterol and sat fats is proving to be false
• Sugar and grain industry fund many government health studies

NATURAL ALTERNATIVES TO SUGAR

• Anna reads a CNN article that claims natural alternatives to sugar are better than artificial sweeteners and high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS)
• Maple syrup, honey, date sugar, coconut sugar & molasses are recommended in this article
• Often, these articles claim that these other forms of sugar have more vitamins and minerals than HFCS, but really it’s just a diversion
  

  You don’t need to eat sugar to get your B6 or your iron. You don’t. If you want iron, eat a f**king piece of meat!” – Vinnie Tortorich

• The bottom line: maple syrup, honey, date sugar, coconut sugar & molasses ARE STILL SUGAR!!!
• Your liver doesn’t know the difference!

SERENA’S ULTRARUNNING

• Serena just had a personal best on a 50 miler
• Ran in just around 10 hours
  • Took 1.5+ hours off of her previous best time
• Won her division
• This race had north of 4500 ft of climbing in it

THE BACHELOR

• Nick picked the wrong woman
  • Vanessa challenges him too much
    • Relationship is already over
  • Raven would have been a better fit
  • Nick is also an idiot
