An extremely important book for your health and that of your loved ones!
This is the 4th book I’ve read by Dr. Cate, and she never fails to knock it out of the park. In Dark Calories, Dr. Cate explains the physiology of how our bodies utilize fats and why it’s toxic for our cells to ingest seed oils (aka “vegetable” oils). She explains that the toxic sludge of soy, cottonseed, canola, and the other “hateful 8” in its crude form would make anyone gag, yet once it has been processed and deodorized and sanitized, it’s a nonoffensive oil substituted for traditional healthy oils in most restaurants and even home kitchens. She clearly explains what these poisonous substances do to our cells and why we MUST stop using them, even though they are cheaper and basically in everything processed, even that which is labeled organic or healthy. Well, they are after all a byproduct that used to be thrown away but now we eat them and look who is making money (food corporations) and look who is suffering (the people fooled into thinking it’s healthier than the food humans have been consuming for thousands of years).Her first book, Deep Nutrition was revolutionary for me, pointing me toward a more traditional way of eating even though I’m a busy mom and teacher. She gave the background on why we need to reclaim our traditional HUMAN way of eating, and she gave great tips for modern day living. Then she wrote Fatburn Fix, a manual for how to fix your metabolism, including all the science. Her third book, Food Rules, has rules for eating that are basically summarizing the other two books.Then she wrote Dark Calories and WOW is it amazing. I didn’t know what else she could write about but she tells us clearly what we NEED to know as a society about the “hateful 8” seed oils and exactly why it’s poison. I have been living mostly seed-oil free, including for my family and the restaurant my husband opened ever since I started reading Dr. Cate’s books. This past year, however, I got sick and it really disrupted my body from my electrolytes to my appetite. I fell back on fast food and easy quick meals because I had no energy and I was constantly chasing sugary food for energy. Dark Calories came at just the right time for me to remember just why I was trying to stay away from seed oils, and her clear explanations of the processes going on inside our bodies helped cement my resolve. I read that whole thing in just a few days, and then went back and reread Fatburn Fix!Dr. Cate has a great website full of articles that you can peruse, she’s a family physician who cares a lot about the people she works with, and she gives great advice. She’s approachable and has a very friendly writing style, but don’t underestimate her, she really knows what she’s talking about and she doesn’t sugar-coat the truth!Dr. Cate’s books truly changed my life and the way I eat, and even in the worst of my sick times I still maintained many of the principles of her books because it has now become a fundamental part of my life. My biggest hope is that she will write a book for parents so we can do what’s right by our kids. I want more people to know the truth behind why seed oils are toxic. Thank you, Dr. Cate, for taking the time to do this important work! And if you’re a Kindle Unlimited customer, both Food Rules and Deep Nutrition are free with the monthly subscription, which is an amazing gift, so I recommend you read them as soon as you can.

Written to easily understand & a TRUE HEALTH GAMECHANGER ~ That is filled with options !!
Book addressed a little discussed but predominant concern in typical foods/food products offered for purchase. Science is there, not a hype. I appreciate the easy to understand explanations, realistic & varied options to not overwhelm when upgrading my diet. How hard can it be to read a label when shopping once you know what to focus on? Not hard, after all it is for my health and now that I am educated, I am on board. Thank you so much Dr Cate !!

Most valuable nutrition advice you will ever get
Dark Calories is another book by Dr. Cate that has the ability to vastly improve life and health for so many people. I am beyond grateful that I found her first book, Deep Nutrition, in 2020. It, along with Fat Burn Fix, changed my life. I wish that I had read it years ago, by the time I had my kids were mostly grown and I had been feeding them harmful vegetable oils their whole lives. Thankfully once I read her books, listened to many of her podcasts and read every article she wrote, I eliminated toxic oils from our diet and it has made a huge difference. Controlling our weight is not a problem, we have endless amounts of energy, no health problems , can think clearly, sleep great, I could go on and on. In Dark Calories Dr. Cate gives the history of how we got where we are in regards to the state of general health in the US. It is enlightening, but maybe not surprising to see that it is tied to money. I am so thankful that Dr. Cate cares, wants to help people and is willing to go up against the powerful forces that control so many things that are negatively affecting our health. Hopefully the common sense advice and education in Dark Calories, Deep Nutrition and Fat Burn Fix will continue to spread and the appalling destruction of our health in this country will stop.

Stunning Refutation of the Lies We’ve Been Told About Seed Oils
Is it really that complicated? The more we have followed the health guidelines of the government and groups like the American Heart Association, the sicker we have become. We don’t eat what our bodies are designed to use. There’s probably no better example of what we shouldn’t eat than vegetable oils.There has been a slow awakening to this in recent years. Witness the increase in use of olive oils, but vegetable oils continue to be dangerously pervasive in our diet. Dr. Shanahan has declared war on the unhealthy narrative. With her she brings the weapons of chemistry and biology, and the disturbing history of how we got here.Dense with detail, yet readable, this is a must read for anyone who cares about their health, and all who suffer from less than optimal health. Shanahan also gives the practical advice you need to apply to your daily life. The oil pushers will fight back, but science is not on their side.She mentions the lack of protein in our diet. For more on this other important pillar of our health, see Dr. Gabrielle Lyon’s book Forever Strong. If you want more on the history of how our health went so wrong, read Nina Teicholz’s The Big Fat Surprise, or Matt Lysiak’s Fiat Food. Philip Ovadia’s Stay Off My Operating Table is a perfect intro to better health.Shanahan mentions how protein molecules and cells (p. 67) are perfect biological machines. For more on this fascinating research, see Fuz Rana’s The Cell’s Design, and Stephen Meyer’s Signature in the Cell.For more on why beef is so important to our diet, and not anti-environment (quite the opposite), see Sacred Cow by Diana Rodgers and Robb Wolf.And lastly buy Dr. Shanahan’s indispensable, Deep Nutrition. Human health should be at its peak. It is in free fall. Join the movement to save humanity.

A great deep dive into the world of seed oils. A leading expert on the topic. And written in a way that keeps the reader captivated with simple explanations of otherwise complex subject matter.

Dr Cate is very knowledgeable and her book is amazing. It is difficult to change from no vegetable oils, however as she says â once you make the change you are unstoppable.â
