Dr. Joyce breaks down:

• The difference between natural and artificial sweeteners
• How to read food labels like a pro

You’ll also learn:

• The ONE thing every label must show (and what it’s really hiding)

In this enlightening episode, Dr. Joyce shares essential knowledge about cooking oils that support heart health versus those to avoid. She begins by explaining how to identify healthy oils by looking for USDA Organic and Non-GMO Verified logos on packaging. When reading nutrition labels, Dr. Joyce recommends choosing oils with less than 2.5g of saturated fat, higher amounts of unsaturated fats, and zero trans fats.

Dr. Joyce highlights five heart-healthy, plant-based oils. Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) protects DNA and heart health while helping prevent cancer, but should only be used for low-heat cooking and dressings (3-4 tablespoons daily recommended). Avocado Oil stands out as excellent for high-heat cooking and baking, while also preventing diabetes and providing rich antioxidants. Sesame Oil offers heart-healthy benefits and diabetes prevention but should only be used with low to medium heat. Grape Seed Oil can be used for high-heat cooking and protects DNA, but Dr. Joyce emphasizes it must be "cold pressed" to avoid harmful hexane extraction methods. Finally, Flaxseed Oil contains beneficial Omega-3s and helps prevent cancer, though pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid it.

The podcast also covers oils to limit or avoid. Coconut and Palm Oil, while plant-based, contain high saturated fat and should be limited to just 1 tablespoon daily. Trans Fats should be avoided completely, with Dr. Joyce warning listeners to check ingredient lists for "hydrogenated" oils. Animal fats should be trimmed from meat as they're linked to heart disease, and conventional GMO oils (corn, soybean, canola) should be avoided unless certified organic. By making these simple oil swaps, listeners can significantly improve their heart health and reduce inflammation throughout the body.
