#191: Is Vegetable Oil a Bigger Driver of Chronic Disease than Sugar? Dr. Chris Knobbe, MD

EPISODE SUMMARYAfter a successful career in clinical practice, Dr. Chris Knobbe's personal experience with dietary changes led him to investigate the root causes of AMD, the leading cause of irreversible vision loss in people over 50. His research revealed a startling pattern: age-related chronic disease was extremely rare before the widespread introduction of processed vegetable oils into the food supply. Through analysis of data from 25 nations, he found that as vegetable oil consumption increased, all age-related chronic disease rates rates rose in parallel. NOTABLE QUOTE"Between 1851 and about 1930, there were no more than about 50 cases of AMD in all the world's literature. And just to put that in perspective, in 2020, it was estimated there were 196 million cases of AMD."Website: https://chrisknobbemd.com Instagram: @ancestralhealthfoundation Book: "Ancestral Diet Revolution"Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.
