There were many impressive people at the recent Cape Town conference, but to me two people stood out the most. One of them is the British cardiologist Aseem Malhotra. A man who is not the least bit afraid to eloquently tell the truth that most people keep silent about.
Not long ago he wrote in the impactful British Medical Journal that it's time to bust the myth that saturated fat has anything to do with heart disease. This placed him on the front pages of papers all over the world, but now a lot of people realize that he was right.
Malhotra has not slowed down after this. He is often on TV, expecially in his home country of England and it's not hard to understand why when you meet him.
The Interview
I managed to get an interview with Dr. Malhotra in South Africa and above you can see a short section. He explains that the common idea about physical activitity as a cure for obesity is something we need to forget - because it's not true.
In the full 22 minute interview ha talks more about what we should focus on instead of calories, what food can lower risk of heart disease more than statin drugs... and how he lost weight eating 1,000 calories extra of a certain kind of food.
