## Resource

Is saturated fat really the villain it’s been made out to be? Or has decades of poor research and dietary policy misled us? In this video, Dr. Bret Scher dives into the controversy surrounding RFK Jr.'s call to remove the cap on saturated fat, and the Wall Street Journal’s misleading take on it.
