#542 Show summary (Jean Jones “One Foot in the Gravy” show):

Researchers from Oxford and Cambridge recently reviewed all of the research done over the past 50 years, and concluded that there is no solid evidence for a link between saturated fats heart disease. It appears our move away from saturated fats was due to bad research and aggressive lobbying.   St. Claire Regional dietitian Jean Jones and UK dietetic interns Gabby Geerts and Taylor Corley explain what this means for you.

Tip: Even a large amount of swelling around an insect sting is not an allergic reaction. Rapid onset of hives away from the sting needs immediate medical attention.
