"There is a positive association between incidence of CAC and sdLDL-c but not lbLDL-c. CAC progression was inversely associated with lbLDL-c but not with sdLDL-c." sciencedirect.com/science/articl… As usual, LDL was a poor marker of coronary calcium progression 👇

My academic paper has been accepted for publication! I hope this will shake up the conversation on seed oils. They are the most harmful toxin in our food supply. Savvy food consumers are way ahead of doctors, nutrition researchers, and dietitians on this, and these academics

"In a large cohort with more than 30 years of follow-up, we observed a lower risk of hematological malignancy [blood cancer] in relation to a higher level of TC, LDL-C, HDL-C, and ApoAI." link.springer.com/article/10.100…

What about the "bad" LDL cholesterol and apoB? "Higher LDL-C, TC, and TG levels were associated with lower risk of glaucoma." "For each 1-SD increase in apolipoprotein B, the hazard decreased by 5%."

Nice commentary: "Combined with the findings from the ELSA-Brasil study, these results suggest that very low LDL-C levels may increase all-cause mortality risk in patients with diabetes, regardless of their cardiovascular risk." mdpi.com/2077-0383/14/8…

"In non-statin users, no association was found between increases in LDL-cholesterol levels and risk of all-cause mortality or SCA. However, a decrease in LDL-cholesterol levels during follow-up was associated with a paradoxically increased risk of all-cause mortality."

I was invited to present on nutrition to surgeons at their annual conference. One of the architects of our current dietary guidelines was in attendance - even so, I didn't hold back. More details in video description. youtu.be/Ip7tZzEZAp0?si…

Now peer-reviewed. As expected, there is no high-quality evidence that reducing saturated fat is beneficial. "The findings indicate that a reduction in saturated fats cannot be recommended at present to prevent cardiovascular diseases and mortality." pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12…

No differences in all-cause mortality or cardiovascular events in RCTs of saturated fat restriction. "a reduction in saturated fats cannot be recommended at present to prevent cardiovascular diseases and mortality"

Travelling through Greece. Still waiting for the plant- based Mediterranean diet to show up. Goat, lamb, chicken routinely featured in Tavernas. #plantcon

The new Dietary Guidelines will drop the caps on saturated fat!! That's what FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary implied yesterday 👏👏👏👏 (My head is spinning--he's citing research directly from my book!) youtube.com/watch?v=qym5dA… "Since Ancel Keys in the 1960s decided to demonize

"Concurrent elevation of both LDL-cholesterol and hsCRP conferred the highest risk . . . In contrast, an isolated rise in cholesterol in the presence of low-grade inflammation (hsCRP < 2 mg/L) did not significantly raise risk." 🤔 imperial.ac.uk/news/267053/in…

"Our results indicate that higher levels of TC, LDL-C, and non-HDL-C are associated with a reduced risk of COPD." tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.21…

The apoB scam continues. New post 👇 buymeacoffee.com/dietarydiary/a…

"It is very likely that the effort to find a causal link between saturated fat and CVDs will be futile." "Current nutritional strategies should be seriously reconsidered and recommended protein intakes for children must be urgently reevaluated." Nice paper 👍

When a bunch of anti-meat zealots wanted to create a wall of shame (btw, who paid for this seemingly expensive report?), all they got was a hall of fame... Meet "la Résistance" & join us; let's expand this list: Dr Shawn Baker 🥩, Nina Teicholz, PhD, Ken D Berry MD, Frédéric Leroy,

"Whole-fat dairy was inversely associated with future presence of CAC. These results contradict dietary guidelines that emphasize low-fat dairy intake for the prevention of coronary heart disease."

It’s long overdue for the Dietary Guidelines to include a low-carbohydrate option for the vast majority of Americans with diet-related diseases. We are not asking for all Americans to follow this approach. It just needs to be an option. The scientific evidence is strong. As
