I created this master class months ago. But those outside of my community only got a teaser. In honor of THE FRENZY... HERE IS THE FULL MASTER CLASS. ENJOY! Fat Friday: The Myths That Won’t Die Because your brain is 60% fat, and still smarter than the food industry. Today, I'm busting the biggest myths about dietary fat. Because for too long, fat has been blamed for what sugar, low fat, processed foods, and stress actually caused. Fat Myths: Busted with Simcha Sass Myth 1: Fat makes you fat Truth: Excess calories make you fat, not fat itself. In fact, healthy fats help regulate hunger, stabilize blood sugar, and support metabolism. Fats make you feel full longer. Myth 2: Fat clogs your arteries Truth: Trans fats do. But monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (like olive oil, avocado, and salmon) actually improve cholesterol and reduce inflammation. Myth 3: Low-fat = healthy Truth: “Low-fat” often means high sugar, high additives, and high confusion. Your body needs fat to absorb vitamins A, D, E, and K. Myth 4: Saturated fat is evil Truth: It’s nuanced. Some saturated fats, like those in coconut oil or grass-fed butter, are even beneficial in moderation. The real villain? Trans fats and ultra-processed oils. Myth 5: Kids shouldn’t eat fat Truth: Children need fat for brain development, hormone production, and immune function. Fat-free childhoods are a modern experiment, and it’s not going well. Myth 6: Vegetable oils are heart-healthy Truth: Most “vegetable oils” (like soybean, corn, and canola) are ultra-processed, oxidize easily, and are high in omega-6 fats that fuel inflammation. They’re not from vegetables, they’re from industrial seeds. Myth 7: Egg yolks raise cholesterol Truth: Dietary cholesterol has little impact on blood cholesterol for people. Yolks are rich in choline, B vitamins, and fat-soluble nutrients your brain loves. Myth 8: Coconut oil is dangerous Truth: While high in saturated fat, coconut oil contains MCTs that support metabolism, brain health, and microbial balance. Context matters more than fear.
