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
