Biography

Krauss is Professor of Pediatrics and Medicine, UCSF, and Adjunct Professor of Nutritional Sciences, University of California at Berkeley.[1][2] He received his medical degree at Harvard Medical School and received postdoctoral training at the National Institutes of Health. He is board certified in internal medicine, endocrinology and metabolism.[1]

He has disclosed that he received grants from the National Cattlemen's Beef Association and National Dairy Council.[3][4][5][6] He is also on the scientific advisory board of Virta Health, a company that provides ketogenic diet counselling for people with diabetes.[7][8]

Views on saturated fat

Krauss disputes the current saturated fat guidelines.[10][11][12] Krauss has argued that "the amount of saturated fat that we consume in our diet has a relatively small effect on the saturated fat in our body compared with the amount that is produced from carbohydrates."[13] In a 2016 interview with Mark Hyman, Krauss stated that his research has not found a connection between saturated fat intake and increased heart disease risk and that it is carbohydrates that increase the risk.[14]
