Colombian Nutritionist Sparks Debate: Are Animal Fats Healthier Than Vegetable Oils?

Colombia-based nutrition expert Dr. Guillermo Navarrette is sparking debate with his claims about the health benefits of animal fats. In a recent video, Dr. Navarrette argues that the widespread adoption of vegetable oils has contributed to a rise in inflammation-related illnesses, contrasting this with the diets of previous generations. "They made us believe that animal fat was dangerous," he states, "but it's what our grandparents used, and they lived to be 90." While he promotes the use of beef tallow, butter, and ghee, his claims require further scientific scrutiny. The video's popularity underscores the public's interest in nutrition and the ongoing debate surrounding healthy fats. Further research is needed to fully evaluate Dr. Navarrette's assertions.
