Are Saturated Fats Bad for You? Separating Fat from Fiction
Speaker: Kent McDonald
Dr. McDonald received his Ph.D. in Botany from the University of California, Berkeley in 1972. He is currently at UCB as the Director of the Electron Microscope Laboratory. In the fall of 2014 he became interested in the science behind federal nutritional guidelines and has since learned that there isn’t much that can be trusted. His presentation will look at why this is so and consider some healthier nutritional strategies based on more reliable information.
