The Natural State 136: How PUFAs and Vegetable Oils Negatively Impact Health - Brad Marshall

If you’re a regular listener of this podcast, then you’ve heard me talk to a few experts about how vegetable oils are wreaking havoc on our health.

Those discussions shed light on a growing problem but I knew I wanted to dive in deeper, which is exactly what this episode is all about.

I sit down with Brad Marshall, a molecular biologist and pig farmer who aims to cut down the amount of PUFAs in our meat supply, to dive into the exact mechanisms at play when we consume harmful vegetable oils.

Brad and I talk about how these vegetable oils are sneaking into our systems through our food supply and what happens when they enter our body.

So you’ll learn about how they disrupt health on a cellular level and where they wreak havoc once they’re there.

You’ll also discover the surprising differences between linoleic acid levels in organic and conventionally grown meat, how our fat cells respond to these foreign substances, and what the latest research shows.

Brad also chats about the differences between different fats, such as saturated fat, polyunsaturated fats, and monounsaturated fats and so much more.

Brad and I go down a rabbit hole into some deep scientific tangents so if you’re someone who loves to nerd out like us, this episode is for you.

As you’ll hear about in this episode, Brad is a jack of all trades. He went to Cornell to study molecular biology and then eventually went off to start his own charcuterie business and opened up several restaurants.

He even branched out into pig farming, started The Croissant Diet, and became a food historian along the way.

Brad is incredibly knowledgeable in this space, which is why I knew I had to get him on the show.
