jim-top Dr. Jim Painter is a PhD and registered dietitian at Eastern Illinois University. He has more than 100 peer reviewed publications and presentations (all around the world) and currently focuses his studies on mindless eating and stealthy calorie intake control.

In this episode we discuss why reducing total fat is almost always harmful, why reducing dietary cholesterol is irrelevant, and why reducing saturated fat can be harmful if it is replaced with refined carbohydrates.
