You may have heard of the Paleo Diet, also known as the Caveman Diet, but do you know the science it's based on? And did you know that the saturated fat it and other diets avoid may be healthier than you were taught in school?
This Stuff You Should Know episode dives into the popular Paleo diet, exploring the controversial idea that we should eat like our Paleolithic ancestors did over 20,000 years ago. Chuck and Josh examine the diet's core principles - high protein, specific carbs, and avoiding modern processed foods - while also unpacking the fascinating and flawed science behind why we've been told to avoid saturated fats for decades. They discover some surprising research about fat, cholesterol, and heart disease that might challenge everything you thought you knew about healthy eating.
