Dr. Chris Knobbe: Navigating Health Threats Hidden in Our Modern Diets - #99

Eliminate processed food in your diet. That's the clear message of Dr. Chris Knnobe, a pioneering nutrition researcher and author who connected the dots between our modern diets and the rise of chronic diseases. As an ophthalmologist, he learned the great impact of processed foods on macular degeneration, the leading cause of irreversible vision loss and blindness, and for the past years, he has focused on intensive cross-nation research which now revolutionizes the way we look at food. In this conversation, Dr. Knobbe shared the startling connections between the rising use of processed foods and the rise in macular degeneration, the effects of vegetable oils on our food supply, and how it's not yet too late to navigate towards healthier dietary decisions. Pretty sure you’ll never look at vegetable oils the same way again after this episode.

Dr. Chris Knobbe, an opthalmologist and author of The Ancestral Diet Revolution, dedicated the past 10 years doing research on macular degeneration.

"What I'm trying to tell you here, because this is incredibly complex disease and there's a lot of arrows, a lot of things going, all conspiring together to create this disease, but the bottom line is it is a degenerative disease, just as its name implies, and it's driven by the toxicity and the nutrient deficiency of processed foods." - Dr. Chris Knobbe
