Fats are indispensable to a balanced diet, playing pivotal roles in essential cellular processes such as the inflammatory response, the integrity of the phospholipid bilayer, and the activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs). Each fatty acid carries its unique physiological benefits and risks, with imbalances potentially leading to compromised health.

Despite mounting evidence supporting the critical role of fats, especially at higher levels, misconceptions and skepticism persist within the clinical community. In this webinar, led by John Bagnulo, MPH, PhD, we will explore the intricacies of fatty acids and their impact on health outcomes. Gain insights into the misunderstood benefits of saturated fats, the influence of food processing and cooking methods on fat quality, and the importance of dietary fat sources for achieving physiological balance.
