In episode 274 of The Real Food Reel we are joined by Cliff Harvey, researcher and educator, to discuss the latest in keto research. Cliff and I explore two specific publications, “Medium chain triglyceride supplementation increases postprandial ketone bodies in a dose dependent manner” and “WHO draft guidelines on dietary saturated and trans fatty acids: time for a new approach?”.
