This is a two hour presentation in a special edition of the Global Medicine Review in WBAI’s fall fundraiser. Dr Kokayi interviews Sally Fallon Morell, President of the Weston A Price Foundation. Excerpts from Ms Fallon’s DVD the Oiling of America are played, highlighting the manner in which the vegetable oil industry has hijacked the mainstream medical intelligencia into manipulating data concerning the danger of animal fats and cholesterol to human health. The interview and DVD look at the history of the American diet since the turn of the century, going back to a time when animal fat was in just about everything yet there were was virtually no cardiovascular disease. The food supply was altered with the introduction of cheap polyunsaturated vegetable oils and the American diet was changed forever, coincident with the rise of cardiovascular disease. The documentation concerning cholesterol’s non role in the generation of heart disease is reviewed and much of it is an analysis of same data that was generated in the major lipid studies. The role of the vegetable oil industry in manipulating the AHA and AMA and FDA and the public is documented as well as its role in suppressing decenting research.
