Cardiovascular Diet Myths
Guest: Stephen Kopecky, M.D.
Host: Sharonne Hayes, M.D.
Since 2018, Trans-Fats are prohibited from being a food additive in the US. In this episode of “Interviews With the Experts,” Dr. Stephen Kopecky discussed how trans fats are still in our food, just not as much as pre-2018, and the main sources of trans fat are ultra-processed foods. Listeners will learn what foods scan raise your blood cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, increase heart attack risk, accelerate the aging process, and slow the aging process.
Topics Discussed:
• Are some trans-fats still sneaking into our food?
• If a person eats food high in cholesterol, can blood levels of cholesterol (LDL-C) go up?
• Which artificial sweeteners increase CV risk?
• Can diet actually speed up or slow down the aging process?
