We break down the biochemistry of fructose, the polyol pathway, and how LDL particles are affected by diet. We also get into the origins of fat shaming, how pharmaceutical companies shaped public language around obesity, the fiber myth, and why cholesterol is wildly misunderstood. Make sure to listen to the full interview to learn more.Dr. Gary Fettke is a retired orthopedic surgeon and one of the earliest and most vocal proponents of low-carb, ketogenic, and carnivore nutrition in Australia. He was among the first in the world to describe the combination of sugar, refined carbohydrates, and seed oils as a nutritional model of inflammation and modern disease, a framework he developed back in 2013. Despite being investigated by the Australian medical board for his dietary advocacy, he has continued to push for change in national nutrition policy, helping make low-carb the nationally recognized strategy for diabetes management in Australia. He works alongside his wife Belinda Fettke, whose research tracks the ideological and corporate forces driving flawed dietary guidelines.We discuss the following:Dr. Fettke's background and updateSugar, carbs, and seed oils explainedThe polyol pathway and fructose overflowSeed oil half-life and inflammationReal-world cases and MS recoveryThe biggest dietary culpritObesity stigma and pharma influenceCholesterol, LDL particles, and statinsLipid subfractions and cardiac riskThe dietary evolutionNo biochemical need for ingested carbs_____EPISODE RESOURCESDr. Gary Fettke on YouTubeDr. Gary Fettke's Website Advanced Cardiovascular Health PanelUnveiling the Corruption of Our Dietary Recommendations - Interview with Dr. Gary FettkeThe Trouble with Fructose -  Interview with Dr. Gary FettkeExposing the Secrets of the Plant-Based Vegetarian Guidelines Interview with Belinda FettkeHow Kibble Can Be From Condemned Meat.
