Fake Fat Foolishness

• Different social platforms have different levels of engagement for both Vinnie and Anna. (3:00)
  • Vinnie experimented on X regarding the naming of a post. Changing the words in the post name altered the level of engagement, even though nothing else in the post had been changed. (10:00)
• They chat about personalities in the health space. (13:00)
  • Several have presented information that was taken directly from Nina Teicholz without giving credit to Nina. (15:00)
• The ketogenic diet has been around for over 100 years. (18:00)
  • There is still plenty of disbelief that fat is healthy. (20:00)
• They discuss menopausal changes and how they affect a woman’s belly.
  • Serena saw changes after changing her exercise routine and trying a CGM.
• Anna found an article regarding an ingredient similar to Olestra. (30:00)
  • Olestra is a modified fat that was in food products, but was short-lived as it would cause "anal leakage."
• Salt, Sugar, Fat by Michael Moss is in Vinnie’s book club. (34:00) https://amzn.to/43GGEqL

Companies hire neuroscientists to develop the “bliss point” to keep foods addictive.

• Food innovation is a challenge and a lot of fuckery happens. (36:00)
• For example: protein bars. Anna reads about a protein bar that has reformulated fat (EPG by Epogee) in it.
• EPG is not considered GRAS (generally regarded as safe) in Europe, yet it is allowed in the United States.
• So many companies are all about the money and not about the health.

• Anna’s cheese bites are going to be produced very soon!! (46:00)
