Publisher's summary

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 audiobook 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 learn 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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

There IS a PDF (now)

I contacted Audible about the missing PDF and had my ticket escalated and there is now a PDF. The PDF is great and gives a guideline of different kinds of fats and recommendations.

The book was overall good, would be very easy to comprehend to the average listener. I personally loved James' Salt Fix which changed my life and this book further helped with clarifying certain aspects of healthy fats.

The only thing that bothers me about the narration and the narration of a lot of health books is the readers do not know how to pronounce health terms and other terms health people usually use.

CAUTION! There is NO PDF attached to Audible book

While the information is very informative and valuable and the readers performance is great, there is no PDF attached to the Audible Book. I am only 1/2 way through the book, and on at least two occasions the reader has made reference to "check the attached PDF". I was listening while working so did not stop immediately to reference the PDF, when I did I was surprised to find none attached. I contacted Audible customer service and after a quick check was told that there is no PDF available for this book.
If you are interested is seeing the referenced material purchase the printed version, DO NOT ORDER THE AUDIBLE BOOK!

Potentially life-saving, but very technical

Everybody should know the main message of this book: which fats are healthy and why, and which aren’t and why not. But be warned, many explanations are very technical in nature, which may be easier to follow as a written text, since you can simply slow down reading, or turn back a few pages for reference. Listening however requires you to remember every single word in order to understand the next sentence, and in this case that is hardly possible except for medical professionals. There are too many new terms and abbreviations, which are mentioned and explained once and then used as if everybody knows these terms.

Be that as it may, the main message is still loud and clear and very easy to understand. The book also lists a number of foods with good and bad fats, so you can easily adjust your grocery list.

If applied diligently and incorporated in a new, ketogenic lifestyle (not simply a short-term diet), this book will add to the depth of your understanding and may potentially even save your life.

Recommend.

A little bit of a data dump

This book throws a LOT of studies at you, both conclusive and inconclusive however it's great information. I will likely have to listen to it again to catch everything.

I do however love both of the authors and have watched them both speak. Looking forward to any other book that comes out by them.

Extremely helpful book but…

If you’re a regular person. Read the summary at the end of the chapters. The terminology in the book can quickly go way over your head. Super useful information but most people just want to know what’s in the summary and the conclusion.

Digestible info on dangers and benefits of fats

This easily digestible book reveals the dispels the myth of “dangerous” saturated fats and places the spot light on the real culprits of the insidious nature of industrial seed and vegetable oils. Healthy fats such as omega 3, mono unsaturated and lesser known supplemental fats are covered in great depths as well. 4 stars for some info being slightly redundant

7+ hours of why you should consume more Omega 3

7+ hours that's seems like 70. You need more Omega 3 in your diet - especially if you eat normal grocery store foods which contain to much Omega 6. Want to know why? Want proof to share with your doctor? This book is loaded with every boring detail. I do trust and appreciate both Dr. Mercola and Dr DiNicolantonio, however, in their desire to educate they bury the reader in excruciatingly repetitive information. I would much prefer a more organized version translating all this repetitive information into a more concise and digestible version, with references to studies and additional books should I choose a deeper dive. I would gladly pay 2-3 times as much for a 2-3 hour read rather than these long-winded 5+ hour books that in my opinion are just designed to show off the author's knowledge and research ability (I'm already impressed - no need to show me over and over, book after book).
