New interview with Gil Carvalho MD, PhD (whose Youtube channel is known as "Nutrition Made Simple") about the prevention of heart disease. Never be confused again heart disease again.

A common theme across Gil's videos on his channel has been strategies to prevent heart disease, the world's largest chronic disease. We bring together everything he has talked about in his channel in one video, plus much more. Topics covered include: Gil's explanation of atherosclerosis & why we tend to not see it in veins; optimal blood biomarker values to minimise risk; why ApoB may be the best measure of risk we currently have; the saturated fat threshold; the temporality component of heart disease; health promoting dietary patterns, salt alternatives & the future of food.
