Confronting the Causes of Disease: A Focus on Dietary Fats (4/9/09)

Steve Blake, Doctor of Holistic Health

Americans are facing unprecedented epidemics of heart disease, cancer, diabetes and arthritis. Blake asks: Rather than spending trillions on treatments, why not address the causes of these scourges? Learn how to protect yourself as Blake explains the roles of cholesterol, Omega-3s, saturated fats and transfats in health and disease. By discovering the proper quantity and balance of these necessary elements, modern research is helping us find the best and worst dietary fats and oils.

This program was recorded in front of a live audience at the Commonwealth Club of California on April 9, 2009.
