On the knee arthritis video, Sarah also discusses diet and the beneficial effect on cartilage of eating saturated fat and Omega-3 oils. She ventures into the area of the rising incidence of joint disease and joint surgery in OECD countries (particularly joint replacement) and - importantly for us all - the possible ill-effects of the dietary seed oils, or vegetable oils, used in fast food, processed foods, home kitchens and restaurants. It's compelling viewing.
