DOUBLING DOWN ON THE LIE

  • Vinnie and Anna start the show discussing Nina Teicholz and the new “Food Compass” published by Tufts University. (3:55)
    • They discuss A1C and getting a CAC score. (9:00)
    • They discuss saturated fat and other items claimed to be bad by prominent vegan “doctors.”

STATE OF THE UNION

  • The show turns to the topic of a “State of the Union” of the podcast and what’s to come. (20:15)
    • The show will go back down to three episodes a week, but still have five days’ worth of content.
    • On occasion, there may be a bonus Saturday show.
  • Don’t zip past the Villa Capelli ad–you’ll hear why! (27:20)
  • Then Vinnie and Anna launch into the topic of a recent CBS article that reports a recommendation by the American Pediatrics Association that parents should consider medication and even surgery for their obese children. (30:45)
    • These organizations are just doubling-down on the lie and misinformation given to the public.
    • It gets confusing and parents aren’t necessarily to blame; there are many factors involved.
    • People need to hold Tufts, the APA, and other organizations accountable and demand better.
    • They discuss the medicines for A1C and the misguided opinions from the establishment.
  • Dr. Robert Lustig is mentioned in the article, but not until further into it.
    • Dr. Lusting has been on this podcast and also has a great YouTube video called “Sugar–the Bitter Truth” that you can watch here.
  • Vinnie explains his plans for an upcoming workout video where he will demonstrate specific moves. (55:45)
    • He plans to add a little “lagniappe” for you.
