About this listen

New York Times best-selling author Dr. Joseph Mercola teams up with cardiovascular expert Dr. James J. DiNicolantonio to cut through the confusion about how dietary fats affect our bodies--and set the record straight on how to eat for optimal health. Should you cook with coconut oil or vegetable oil? Eat butter, cream, or olive oil? Supplement with fish oil or flax oil? Sometimes it seems as if everyone has a different opinion on these crucial questions--but this audio download holds real answers. Best-selling author and teacher Dr. Joseph Mercola teams up with cardiovascular expert Dr. James DiNicolantonio to cut through the confusion about how dietary fats affect our bodies and set the record straight on how to eat for optimal well-being. Dr. DiNicolantonio, an internationally known and respected scientist, has spent nearly a decade studying the effects of different fats on the body. Dr. Mercola is one of the world's leading authorities on natural health. In Superfuel, they've gathered a wealth of information and insight in a form that's both impeccably researched and highly accessible. You'll read about: * The many health problems supposedly caused by saturated fat--that actually aren't * Why the so-called healthy vegetable oils are actually making you sick and fat * The optimal ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fats in your diet * Foods that help resolve inflammation, increase longevity, and fight or prevent chronic illness * A cyclical ketogenic eating plan that keeps your body burning fat as healthy fuel * Supplemental fats such as fish oil, krill oil, and flax oil--what to take and how to choose * Which oils you should cook with, how to use them, and why * And much more Drawing on Dr. DiNicolantonio's firsthand research at Saint Luke's Mid America Heart Institute, as well as hundreds of groundbreaking studies from the medical literature, Superfuel will give you the facts you need to optimize your fats and your health.

Critic reviews

“Contrary to the goal of pervasive marketing efforts, dietary fat is fundamental for health, disease resistance, longevity, and yes, even weight loss. Dr. Mercola and Dr. DiNicolantonio deftly reveal how the specific fats we choose to eat may well be the most important dietary decision we make in terms of directing our health destiny.”
— David Perlmutter, M.D., #1 New York Times best-selling author of Grain Brain and The Grain Brain Whole Life Plan

“If you want to know the real ‘fat facts,’ please read Superfuel by Drs. Mercola and DiNicolantonio! They make a compelling and readable guide to navigate through the often confusing dietary advice regarding the types of fat to include in your diet as well as the ones to avoid like the plague. And spoiler alert: long-chain omega-3 fats from fish oil and other sources, and quality olive oils, are something you need more of, not less of, in your diet daily for perfect heart and brain health. Prepare to be amazed at what you don’t know about why we are so sick. Read this book!”
— Steven R. Gundry, M.D., New York Times best-selling author of The Plant Paradox and The Plant Paradox Cookbook; Medical Director, International Heart and Lung Institute, Palm Springs and Santa Barbara, California

“Superfuel is a fascinating discussion about how much of what we’ve learned about dietary fat is completely wrong. This helps upend much of the low-fat dogma that has dominated nutritional thinking for the last 40 years. This book is a must-read if you are interested in improving your health through diet.”
— Jason Fung, M.D., author of The Obesity Code

“If you would like to know the truth about which fats support health, which ones don’t, and what foods they’re found in, open this book. It’s packed full of vital information for lifelong health.”
— Dr. Frank Lipman, New York Times best-selling author of How to Be Well

“Dr. DiNicolantonio and Dr. Mercola have an incredible wealth of information and insight to explain everything you need to know about the fats that fuel your body. You’ll learn which foods you should eat, which you should avoid, and how you should cook and consume your food for optimal health...physically, mentally and emotionally. Superfuel will help and heal so many people.”
— Drew Manning, New York Times best-selling co-author of Fit2Fat2Fit

“In Superfuel, Drs. DiNicolantonio and Mercola offer a view of dietary fat that’s powerfully perspective-shifting. They have done a deep dive into the best research available and come up with practical, accessible guidance for taking control of your health, starting right now.”
— Dr. Aseem Malhotra, author of The Pioppi Diet

its a good book, some interesting information but very little new. it takes several hours to arrive at the same conclusion it did in the first chapter. omega 6 processed seed oil... bad. omega 3 good. eat real food, supplement properly with omega 3.
doesn't touch on ketogenic diet despite saying ketogenic fuel in the title, the expectation is you will buy the previous books (both fat for fuel and also salt fix are plugged then the discussion on both topics ends abruptly) so much so that I will not purchase them now for the lack of concise information in this one as a stand alone book and the shameless tactics of producing an incomplete book.
it covers only fat intake,nothing else. no mention of carbohydrates, no mention of protein or of micronutrients. superfuel as the title suggests would cover the fuel, your body needs, not one part of it. how do carbs play a role in the conditions mentioned, what about protein, fructose and sugars, gluten and genetically modified grains. this book is a book, or ideally a good segment from a complete book.

good, but repetetive

First gripe: There is a lot of information to unpack from this book. For the average consumer this is too complicated especially as an audio book. I found myself struggling to stay engaged. I kept trying to remember their initial explanations, but I would come a cross a chapter that was a bit complicated a
Or when I was listening to it the next day, it just became too bothersome to try and remember. (and this may be a very personal opinion)

Second gripe: they often make reference to random studies done at so-and-so with so-and-so people but there never seemes to be any clear obvious link. Whatever they're linking should be supported by more than two studies. Which I find a lot of these health type books lack. The often draw conclusions from these studies by saying eating more so-and-so MAY lead so-and-so. But there's too many variables in the study to consider. Furthermore, the word MAY is used too many times with these studies, which often (to me) means there isnt a strong enough link between the study and what the authors are trying say. So I question how authentic the information is.

Allas, this is a good book to study if this is a field you would really like to persue. And if your looking to get a lot of detail.

Overly complicated for me ( the average consumer)

Unintelligible to the layman. This is not a book but a scientific paper - sorry, returned.

Jargon much..????
