Dear Sir, within 9 minutes you were able to gave detailed information. Even normal people can able to understand. Excellent teaching sir

I really appreciate you don't take sides and make claims like "saturated fat is bad for you" or "don't eat butter".
There is a lot of information in this video, but no opinions. That's rare these days and I am so glad to see it.

Wow !! Excellent overview. You have changed my outlook on every new encounter I have when talking about fats. Now I get it.

[keyaraniroy]

Great presentation! My only comment is that trans fats are found in nature (8:30), typically in small quantities. Both plants (and not just seed oil plants) and animals contain trans fats. For example, 3-trans-hexadecenoic acid [16:1(3t)] is found in leek, peas, spinach and lettuce. And in animals, 11-trans-octadecenoic acid (vaccenic acid) in found in beef, mutton and butter fat.
