IDEAS NETWORK PROGRAMS - SATURDAY, MARCH 23, 2013 |

6:00 AM

The People's Pharmacy with Joe and Terry Graedon

|
|

Have you ever felt frustrated with dietary advice that seems the exact opposite of previous recommendations? Should you be trying to wean off coffee--or have a second cup? Once butter was bad and polyunsaturated oils were supposed to be more healthful, but a new analysis of old research suggests that a diet rich in omega-6 fatty acids from vegetable oil could be bad for the heart. We talk with the scientists who led that research for more insight on fats and heart health. We also discuss the current state of dietary research with Dr. Walter Willett, chairman of nutrition at the School of Public Health at Harvard University.
Guest: Christopher E. Ramsden, MD, is a clinical investigator in the Laboratory of Membrane Biophysics and Biochemistry at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland.
