Different social platforms have different levels of engagement for both Vinnie and Anna. (3:00)
- Vinnie experimented on X regarding the naming of a post. Changing the words in the post name altered the level of engagement, even though nothing else in the post had been changed. (10:00)
They chat about personalities in the health space. (13:00)
- Several have presented information that was taken directly from Nina Teicholz without giving credit to Nina. (15:00)
The ketogenic diet has been around for over 100 years. (18:00)
- There is still plenty of disbelief that fat is healthy. (20:00)
They discuss menopausal changes and how they affect a woman’s belly.
- Serena saw changes after changing her exercise routine and trying a CGM.
Anna found an article regarding an ingredient similar to Olestra. (30:00)
- Olestra is a modified fat that was in food products, but was short-lived as it would cause "anal leakage."
Salt, Sugar, Fat by Michael Moss is in Vinnie’s book club. (34:00) https://amzn.to/43GGEqL

Food innovation is a challenge and a lot of fuckery happens. (36:00)
For example: protein bars. Anna reads about a protein bar that has reformulated fat (EPG by Epogee) in it.
EPG is not considered GRAS (generally regarded as safe) in Europe, yet it is allowed in the United States.
So many companies are all about the money and not about the health.
