  1. “In nursing homes in Minnesota, where all the food could be controlled because you can really do good science when you have these situations where you know everything these patients are eating and everything they're not eating and you could chronicle it. For four years they did this. And it was by all accounts a really great study. 1971 rolls around, studies over. There's no word of the study. Nobody's discussing the study.”

  2. “Structure of what appeared to be motivated reasoning to try to find science to validate his Conviction And that's where the observational studies come in because you can really manipulate data to say anything in an observational studies where there's no real controls over variables. And he initially got a lot of flack for this theory because other scientists kept saying, well, you're presenting this diet hypothesis linking saturated found in meat to heart ailments, but where's your evidence? He could never present evidence. So finally in 1967. He got a huge government grant. And he's like, you know what? I realize all my studies are observational. This time we're going to do a clinical, double-blind placebo gold standard study that will establish causal relationship between saturated fat and heart health. Called the Minnesota Coronary Survey established in 1967. Four-year survey done over a few thousand patients.”

  3. “No, he's like a fish doctor. He studied eels. That's how he got his. That's how he got his gravitas. But he was a really great personality. He was strong and determined. And he had a theory that saturated fat found in meat clogged arteries which caused heart ailments. And this was a big deal because in the early 50s, the president of the United States, Dwight Eisenhower, had a heart attack and everybody was very afraid of heart attacks. Where are these heart attacks coming from? What is the cause? There's a race in science to figure out what was happening here. And a few theories emerged. One of them was a type A personality people very stressed out. Some people thought it might be the increase in car exhaust and fumes. Other people thought it was sugar. Ansel Keys thought it was saturated found in meat. And what you find is that he begins through a”

  4. “Not clinical double blind gold standard studies which control variables and can control and can establish causal relationships. For example, I can cite you that I took a poll of people who have cancer and 97% of them have had meat. That's an example of an observational study. And then from that you have a headline that will say 97 or meat linked to cancer. And I spoke to so many scientists in research for this book and they would explain to me kind of humorously how these studies aren't really meant for other scientists or for the scientific community. They're meant to garner media attention. Where normal Americans are working. They're not going to go look at the actual study, but they see the headline and they might read the first graph. And then that establishes a narrative.”

  5. “And once you understand that it all kind of falls into line much easier, and you have, I don't want to get into the weeds too much on science, on studies, because your audience is going to get bored, but brief overview is you have these observational studies which can't establish causal relationships. They can only establish association. These are almost exclusively all the studies that you're seeing in nutrition science.”

  6. “You Ansel Keys was very pivotal in how our food supply in America has been degraded. Hard to understand his role because he in the 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s, the late 40s, early 50s, he was the leading nutritionist in America. So what he said really went, and he was in bed with industry. So he was getting funding from all kinds of conflicts. He was getting funding from the sugar industry. New York Times did some great work in 2016. I hate to give them credit because of what they've become, but in 2016, they uncovered one of the leading studies on sugar that we have had come from a study where essentially the scientists, including the researchers, including Ansel Keys, was bribed. And these are studies that we still rely on today. These are studies that are still commonly cited. It was what you have to understand, I think, what your audience should understand about a lot of these nutritional studies is that they're not.”

  7. “This, if it is what I think it is, deserves a book, not seven pages that you did. I also understood that although I'd worked for all these major publishing houses, none of them were going to accept this premise. Was too far out there. So I said, look, man, you should start your own publishing house and I should be your first author. I was pretty bold. He agreed, and I didn't realize this at the time. He had already been considering launching his own publishing house called the Safe House. Yeah.”

  8. “Hyperbole, but the chapter sounded insane. It was this very short chapter just alleging this conspiracy that manipulated our food supply. So I'm like, look at this. Wow, this guy's brilliant, but what is this? This is wacky. Like, this is off the deep end. So I began fact checking it like a reporter does. And to my shock, he had understated the case. And when I began polling this sheet back a little bit, what it revealed was what I would argue to be the most consequential conspiracy of the past 60 years in terms of its effect on the human health of our nation, on the health of our nation. So I reached out to Safe and I'm like, hey man, here's who I am.”

  9. “In 2021, with COVID, it became very clear to me early on that this was a scale of government corruption I had never encountered. There was some truth to a lot of the pandemic, but there were also a lot of lies, which is what you find with government. They don't generally make things up whole cloth, but they weaponize real events in ways that are often dishonest. And I found that to be apparent with the COVID pandemic. And it led me to safety moose. I don't know if your audience is familiar with him. Love economics and I read the Bitcoin standard, but it was the fiat standard, his second book that really caught me, particular a chapter he wrote called Fiat Food. I respect safe. I think he's probably one of the top five economic minds in the world right now. I don't think that's...”

  10. “Cancer is really bad. It's awful to have. You don't want it. And I also like, I think I'm naturally attuned to thinking that I'm responsible for things that happen to me. I think that's something that's been installed in me for my parents and I just take responsibility for the good and the bad in my life. That was a bad and I never was able to shake it. So when I began my career as a journalist, I did my focus was mainly on mass shootings and government corruption, but I always took like a side interest in health.”

  11. “He said, Oh, it's not your fault. We don't know why people get cancer. Some think it's genetic, there's a lot of different beliefs. I intuitively realized I'd done something wrong. I wasn't eating a moderate amount of garbage. I was eating tons of the food, but it was also the food that was recommended by the government. I was eating a lot of grains. At this time, saturated fat was replaced mainly by seed oils. Like Crisco and all these other atrocities of science. And I had, so going back to my teenage years, I always had something in me that made me think, man, I had done something wrong. I had abused my body. So health, even though I went on to as a career, as an investigative reporter, health and my personal health was always on my mind. Like, what had I done wrong? And I'm still in remission for cancer. I don't want that back.”

  12. “I have four daughters, and this is the book that I want them to read when they're a little bit older and can understand a bit about the world around them from more of a cynical viewpoint. But going back into my personal history, I grew up in the 90s. And at that time, I had great parents, they were pushing something, they being society and nutritional health authorities were pushing the dietary food pyramid. Instructed us to eat between 8 to 11 helpings of grains a day and to limit your saturated fat found in meat to very, very minuscule amounts. So I was raised on that and I became fat. I was a fat little kid. I got cancer at the age of 15. Had osteogenic sarcoma, so I was pretty much hospitalized for the better part of two years. I remember asking one of my doctors from my hospital bed, what did I do? Like, why do I have this?”

  13. “I think about that a lot because I've written so much, I've written over 10 books and I've written plays that have been produced. I have a movie coming out, my first screenplay I wrote recently. Of all my work, this is what I most proud of, Fiat Food.”

  14. “An economist, but I'm a data dork. I love doing deep dives into in particular government corruption. So I've interviewed former presidents and senators and governors. I've become very used to corruption in government and how it's hidden and ways to find documents to uncover that corruption.”

  15. “Yeah, I've been an investigative reporter for about two decades now. I spent most of my years at the New York Daily News, which when I was there was the fifth biggest paper in the country. Specifically, my role was to parachute into any breaking news story across the country. So I spent about half my year on the road chasing down some of the biggest stories of the past two decades that I'm sure your audience has heard of. I began seeing that the newspaper industry was going to hell pretty early on it was evident and I transitioned into book writing. My first book was about the mass shooting in Newtown admitted by a young man named Adam Lanza. I published that with Simon& Schuster and I've done work with Harper Collins Scholastic Ben Bella. So I've worked for a wide range of publishing houses. Investigative reporting is really my passion. I'm not a nutritionist. I'm not”
