For the past 60 years there has been a concerted effort to demonize saturated fats, found in animal products and tropical oils, and cholesterol, in our food and blood. Despite the well-established health benefits of diets rich in cholesterol and saturated fat, flawed, deceptive and biased research has created the myth that a low fat, plant-based diet is ideal for good health. I will deliver an update on a talk I gave 2 years ago at the IHMC in Ocala, which will provide a historical perspective on how poorly conducted epidemiological research, U.S. government intervention and misinformation conveyed by contemporary lifestyle researchers have contributed to the current state of confusion on dietary influences on health. In addition, I will discuss how biased research has created the false appearance that high levels of serum cholesterol cause heart disease. I will describe how researchers have used deceptive statistics to give health care providers and the public the false impression that statins produce a dramatic reduction in the incidence of cardiovascular disease and mortality. I will point out that the miniscule benefits of statins are offset by their well-documented adverse effects, such as promoting the development of type 2 diabetes, cognitive impairments, cataracts, muscle pain and wasting, and increased incidence of cancer. This talk will serve as a wake-up call for the public to educate themselves as to how to optimize their diet and cardiovascular health.
David. M. Diamond received his Ph.D. in Biology in 1985, with a specialization in Behavioral Neuroscience, from the Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory at the University of California, Irvine. He is a professor in the Departments of Psychology and Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology at the University of South Florida, where he has directed his research program on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Dr. Diamond has served on federal government study sections and committees evaluating research on the neurobiology of stress and memory, and has over 100 publications, reviews and book chapters on the brain and memory. He has served on the editorial boards of numerous medical journals and has received 30 years of federally funded support for his research. In the past decade, Dr. Diamond has expanded his research program to include cardiovascular disease and nutrition. His controversial research is an extension of an advanced seminar he directs at the University of South Florida entitled “Myths and Deception in Medical Research”, which emphasizes the critical evaluation of methods and conflicts of interest in health-related research. In recent years he added to his list of publications controversial papers on diet, cholesterol and statins, including one paper published in the peer-reviewed medical journal “Expert Review of Clinical Pharmacology”, which described the deceptive practices employed by researchers promoting statins for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Dr. Diamond has been invited to present his myth-busting views on nutrition and cholesterol to lay people and physicians at nutrition, cardiology, obesity and diabetes conferences all over the world.
3 relatives of mine were on Statins
1. My dad was prescribed to prevent heart attack. While on statins he was depressed, sleeping problems, muscle pain and DIED OF HEART ATTACK 2 years later
2. My grandma and grandpa. My grandma died of diabetes and liver cancer and grandpa alzheimers. Both suffered before dying.
3. My aunt developed and died of breastcancer and diabetes.
So when I was prescribe statins with LDL cholesterol just a little over 200 I also had the worst insomnia, muscle pains, cognitive decline and more. I stopped it after 4 months. Started eating eggs fried in virgin coconut oil, pork belly with turmeric and black pepper, started eating butter, ginger/turmeric tea, vitamin C, multivitamins, magnesium glycinate, omega 3s, exercise and sunlight exposure. I regained joy in life, more energy, and cognitive function
Yes yes yes!!!
So sorry for your huge losses. I am so glad we found out this information and am sorry when no people we love are interested in it. It’s just too scary. I’ve been carnivore for 6 months and love it.
Dr. Diamond's brilliance and courage is saving lives! May he enjoy many blessings.
I pray mr. Diamond stays safe! He needs to watch his back.
Big pharma's got his digits...
An EXCELLENT talk. I was prescribed statins in 2021and I decided not to do it. It is scary to go against Doctor’s orders but luckily there is more and more information. Dr. Diamond’s talk reinforces me and helps me stay strong. I went from Keto to Carnivore 6 months ago. My fasting insulin is 3. My Triglycerides are 74. Don’t care what my Cholesterol is at all. I am in the best shape of my life...not overweight . I’m an 80 year old woman.
Not caring does not seem a good attitude, that is kind of sticking your head in the sand. You should understand what it implies and based on that make a decision.
@@amfohr My son had a heart attack at 54.
His cholesterol was 120. Very athletic and not over weight. He went on statins and wasn’t well. He started watching Sten Ekberg and Dr. Diamond among others.

Very good information
She does understand and has made the decision not to care.
My cholesterol has been as high as 400 , my doctor looked at me and said" you should be dead". I was in my thirties then, I am now 57. Doctor's has been trying to get me on statins for several years now, I refuse.
Got 301 on my cholesterol test and got a call the same day by my doc saying I want to get on statins to get my numbers down. I said no (not the first time) but had a funny feeling she was collecting points for a Mediterranean vacation.
I refused statins too after reading the Bowden/Sinatra book "The Great Cholesterol Myth". One sentence in the book really stuck out "Statins make women stupid".
@@pamdeloach6921 Which is true. But they make men stupid too. Or at least cause "cognitive decline", which is the polite way to put it.

Thank you! I took a baby aspirin for 1 month, it caused severe burning pain in my left thigh muscle. My Total cholesterol has been 250 +/-20 over the past 30 years. I've been pressured by my docs to take a statin and tried Lipitor 20 years ago, it caused me severe pain so I stopped taking it after 30 days! I'm on the Keto diet now, all my blood markers are now great except LDL (195) and I don't care about LDL. I've lost 20 lbs in 4 months on Keto. My CAC score was done last month, it's a 0 @ 59 years old. I'm confident that my risk of heart disease or stroke is low. Don't take statins!
We had a gal in our church that made fun of me for taking all my vitamins. She was put on statins and within a few years she died of liver cancer. She was older than me.
@@whisperingsage, That's horrible. I'll never take a statin again, 30 days of that toxin Lipitor was enough.
woohoo! Congrats!
I have had my cholesterol checked every year since I was 32 yrs old. It has never been under 220 ever. I'm almost 62 now. I went Keto in early Oct. and I have no pain from my Rheumatoid Arthritis and no problems with my belly because of Colitis. I do not have to take diabetic medicine either. My A1C on Oct. 8th was 7.4. Last week on the 13th it was down to 6.1. I have lost 22 lbs and hopefully I can lose about 20 more. Very low carb and meat it the way to go.
Thank you Doctor David Diamond. My Son Told me about carbs being the problem and I couldn't believe it. Enjoyed watching the video informative and honest!
Great presentation. I taught high school chemistry and physics, and a healthy amount of math included in my classes. I ALWAYS emphasized students look at the Y-scale when representing and /or analyzing data. One of my "wisdom sayings" in my room was: "It's easy to lie with math, but it's easier without it".
@Steve T
Liars use numbers but numbers never lie !
So nice when the teachers aren't among the brainwashed masses. Thank you for all you do to save the next generation.
@Debbie 54321
We try !
so very true, I learned basic statistics in high school and they teach you this truth too
55:29 That statins raise the coronary artery calcium (CAC) score is a bombshell reveal. That is a real risk factor, unlike LDL levels.
Yes, Statins stimulate artherosclerosis most likely due to the fact they are Halting the SYNTHESIS OF FAT SOLUBLE VIT. LIKE K2 WHICH DIRECTS CALCIUM OUT OF SOFT TISSUES AND ARTERIES, AND INTO BONE MATRIX.
I have a collection of statin medication my doctor thinks I am taking. I took for a few days. I had pain in my legs and quit. I kept telling them this but they still prescribed because that is what the state expects them to do for my high cholesterol. This solidifies my stance and I am having eggs and bacon for dinner and no carbs.
Hi Dr Bo in
Tremendous work, Dr! First saw you around five years ago and I quickly changed my diet. I eventually evolved to a combination Paleo/Mediterranean/Ketogenic diet and over that period lost over 60 lbs of fat, reduced my BMI from 33 to 23, eliminated my high blood pressure and all meds! My cholesterol remains at 260 but now I understand the function of cholesterol and how it works for my body. I now incorporate fasting one day per week around 36 hours and twice a year incorporate a 96 hour fast for the purpose of inducing Metabolic Autophagy for a host of medical benefits for the body. Thank you, Dr for your information as you were my original inspiration to where I am today...HEALTHY!
Fasting is the best! Do it myself in combination with Coffee Enema:

Good luck CVD takes decades to occur keep your fingers crossed this person with no qualifications knows what he's talking about, knows better than every medical doctor
good for you! Its one thing to learn and another to practice what you learn!
I have been teaching this in my 10 week Attaining Optimal Health course and to my patients for about 25 years. It certainly in nice that we finally have some physicians who know the facts and are not afraid to speak out and tell the public but meanwhile, millions are still being harmed by Statin drugs and low fat diets and bogus information from their ignorant dietitians and MD's.
This is not a physician it's someone who sells books telling people what they want to hear
@@trotskyite1 Jealous? Afraid? Threatened?
@@trotskyite1wow you’re so shallow and ignorant
Fantastic, concise and entertaining. We have been lied to too long.
I'm a big believer in low carbs. I practice this belief and severely restrict my sugar intake. My weight has dropped and so has my blood pressure.
This man is a truth-teller. GOD bless this man. I don't know him but what he is saying is the truth
Drug companies will put a hit on David Diamond. He needs a 24/7 bodyguard.
Highly stimulating, funny, and horrifying! Thanks for a great talk.
About 21 years ago I was put on 10 mg Lipitor because I could not lower my Cholesterol by my otherwise healthy diet. This small amount made my cholesterol tumble down so much that the doctor told me to cut it down to to 5 mg, but even at this low dose I got leg muscle weakness and a great decline in cognitive ability. I, at about 6 months on the drug, took myself off it having read Dr Duane Graveline's book "Lipitor Thief of Memory".
At about that same time (6th month) I was diagnosed with Glaucoma (another known side effect of Statins) and 2 years ago with Type 2 Diabetes.
I have shared a lot of what I have discovered with others but it's just like talking to Zombies. It seems most people are not really interested in taking control of their own health, particularly medical doctors and so the one I am required to see (as little as possible) is now trying to get me back onto the Statins and Diabetes drugs which I have consistently refused to do
Suggest to your doctor he read up on Statins by those such as D Diamond and Dr Malcolm Kendrick, and stop believing what the Pharma salesmen are telling him...
@Piper Mccoy Hi Piper, you should also know that of all the trials performed to "prove a relationship between cholesterol and heart disease" there has never been one showing any such relationship in women! But rather what has been shown in the Framingham study was that the higher your cholesterol the less likely you are to have a heart attack and the longer you will live. Throw your statins in the trash
@Piper Mccoy have a look here th-cam.com/video/jyzkv5uFGt8/w-d-xo.html
My Mum in her 80s was put on statins and after I researched found what you said and after a while managed to convince her to come off them. Even so she ended up with muscle problems In Her legs making walking a problem. She is now 94 and her legs have improved and she is well. I visit her every week and we walk round town no problems.
All my friends prefer to take medicine in order not to have to renounce the delicious Industrie food and bakeries. Most of my friends are much younger than I´m (almost 81). None of them is without medicine.
Excellent talk. Very clear and informative. Delivered in an interesting manner. Thank you.
Love this guy. Smart, and funny. Reminds me of Norm McDonald with his dry, sarcastic humor. Thanks for some enlightening info. The (true) numbers don't lie.
If you close your eyes and listen you would think it's Norm ;)
You won't see this on network TV, because the broadcast media receive 46% of their ad revenues from HARMaceutical companies.
I don't know if the comparison is correct but sure this David Diamond is telling the truth. Norm McDonald? they have the same voice (easily you can mistakenly think this is Norm McDonald speaking) but Norm McDonald a truth-teller? Not sure about that
That's it!!!!! I couldn't figure out who he reminded me of.
Great presentation using proper interpretation of statistics! It is the same as doubling one's chance of winning the lottery - by buy two tickets! Still not very likely! Thanks for the work on analyzing the data.
Great presentation! Thank you, David Diamond!
I would like to see David Diamond do this same type of research on supposed high blood pressure.

However, keep in mind that the body does not raise the BP without a reason; it is an adaptive response to chemical, emotional or physical stress; this in order to prolong life. Dr.John Bergman D.C. talks about this in his lectures.
Cardiologist Stephen Sinatra for example notes in his lecture about how to lower BP naturally: 'Always tell the truth.' Telling the lie is what causes the problem; the rise in BP is an indication that something wrong happened.
When considering the body's response of inducing fainting: Actually it is more likely to die of low BP?
Cut out salt which is very hard to do since everything you buy has high levels of salt, especially when you eat in restaurants. Watch your BP go down. I have done the test and it works.
I would really like to see a debate between an industry Doctor / shill and David Diamond.
'yes CHEF BARRY ANDERSON agrees with you. The debate would be very telling.
They would never do it. They try to suppress those that threaten their cash cow!
I am on stains 20mg your talk very shocked me wow I didn't know this until I did reseach on your amazing talks thank you David I will stop taking mine I started statins in November 21
excellent lecture.
even the questions were great.
Thank you for sharing this discussion with the public.
I am a fellow member of THINCS.
This is a really informative lecture.
Although I'm 25, I still benefited a lot from knowing how the research community can be deceptive.
SA3D You’re very smart to be paying attention to this at such a young age. You’ll enjoy lifelong good health and hopefully avoid those money grubbing doctors.
You are so fortunate to find this out at 25 years of age.
I’m 27 and doing lots of research on this . I was diagnosed high cholesterol at age 16
@@gfleming5136lol I’m 14 watching this because I got real high cholesterol too and I went onto reddit, and came across this video. I did not expect to watch an entire lecture but I did. This really opened my mind like crazy
How is it that Obligate Carnivores (Cats, Tigers, Lions, etc) can be saturated with Fat and Cholesterol, and have no Heart problems and Atherosclerotic plaques do not develop?
Congratulations! You are now "eligible" for statins! And you may have won the publisher's clearinghouse sweepstakes. :-)
WebMD also advocates low fat high carb. Last update date for their articles is before 2010
Excellent talk sir! I do not follow all doctor advice. Went for some knee and shoulder surgery lately and bring my own Jerky and eggs and bacon with me or i just fast.
His talks are always so fascinating!
Is there a bibliography? I'd love to read through the reports Dr Diamond is presenting in summary.
Also, given the disclaimer on the adverts shown to medical doctors (the this means... 2% vs...3%) would indicate that a large proporton of these doctors are innumerate as regards statistics. I'd suggest medical schools add satastical analysis (minimally, something like 'How to Lie With Statistics' )to their base curriculum. A prerequisite to 'evidence based medicine' is being able to understand the evidence.
And thanks for presenting this. Spectacularly well done presentation!
Love you and your truthful data! Thank you for your hard work❤️
Great Talk, one of the best I've heard! Thanks for posting.
Anyone else get a strong Norm MacDonald vibe when you here this fella talk? Great presentation by the way.
I used to be vegan and most recently vegetarian. Your comparison of fat in the blood plasma after eating a high fat meal and high carb meal was an eye opener because it was the high fat meal blood plasma that was presented in many videos by the WFPB diet gurus as the one that had the fat in the blood. I have mostly gotten rid of my books and unsubscribed from these Facebook Guru charlatans. I spent a lot of money on their books and cd's while I was doing it. Now I feel I was ripped off.
Just be glad you know the truth now ❤️
There is very complex biochemistry happening when fat is digested. So dietary fat does not equal fat in blood. So excessive fat in the blood most likely comes from excessive carbs intake.
A report from the New York medical examiner's office leaked a year after his death said that Atkins had a history of heart attack, congestive heart failure and hypertension, and that at the time of his death he weighed 258 pounds (117 kg)
I was told my cholesterol was high and Lipitor 10 mg was prescribed. After a week of 10 mg of Lipitor I was taking twelve Tylenol a day for muscle pain and later the doctor said take half of the Lipitor. Well, I quit the Lipitor after three months of pain no matter how much I consumed of the statin. I now have diabetes and cough a lot. This one prescription ruined my life style.
Look up Dr. Berg on TH-cam. He teaches how to eat a ketogenic diet and how it will improve your health. It really works to cut out all sugars and carbohydrates. It's challenging because of our society but it's worth it.
Debbie 54321 Keto diet made me sick and my pressure went up and that scared me. No thank you to Keto but a balanced diet is working. I don't eat sugar but have a small amount of carbs with protein and vegetables with very small amounts of fruit and mostly berries.
A high fat/low carb diet with luck will get the diabetes back into remission

Phenomenal lecture 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
It is quite sad the the truth is held hostage on so any things in our lives where money is involved. The internet is a God send where we can get another side of the discussion not told or in small print if informed. The internet is now at odds because of that very fact and money interests may control the internet also.
I suspect that the conclusion about platelets suffers from the same mistake as the conclusion about cholesterol. It could be that platelet count increases as a _response_ to whatever is causing the heart problems, i.e., they might both be caused by a third thing we haven't pinned down yet.
Kuoxsr Like blowing up all fire trucks to stop fires from breaking out...
If you read John Yudkin's 'Pure White and Deadly" book, you'll realise it's sugar that's the issue
I grew up in the Midwest being fed fat, dairy, bread, sugars, fat, dairy, bread, sugars, with sparing amount of vegetables (non-corn) and fruits. Always being an athlete, I had been very active up and including today. But as I aged I started to experience diabetes symptoms, coronary issues. I love sugar/bread, but after trying to blame protein, fat, lack of veggies... I finally after much self experimenting realized that it was all due to:
Too much dairy
Too much protein
Not enough whole food, plant based eating
BUT mostly due to sugars and refined flour products (homemade or not)
Six months later, huge difference, BMI melting away, energy level like 30 years ago, weight management good, no indigestion, no sugar highs/lows, blood pressure drop from 135/90 to 115/70.
We have been poisoned by the sugar and manufactured food industries.
Im a Buddhist so I don't eat meat but do consume dairy because of a family history of osteoporosis. I was started on metformin last year as my sugars went up. HbA1c was 7.1. On top of an already exceptionally stressful year with many life changing events occurring, the metformin has induced gut issues, to the point I stopped going out. I even had a colonoscopy which was normal and was told it was the meds. Im 167cm and gained 20kg during menopause and starting lexapro. So at 78kg my gp says im obese and suggested a statin...which I declined. I am doing low carb but it is not possible for me to eat animals because of my beliefs. Still you have given me hope I can get better and hopefully get off metformin. 🙏
Just think about all the folks over the years that trusted their docs advice and have been taking these statins. Many are not here now and blessed to be learning this lifesaving info
If I took all the pills my Doctors prescribed I would be DEAD by now as well!
Thank you for this information, particularly demonstrating the manipulation of the graphs/results.
Same way they massaged the mere 170 PCR tested cases to get the 94% efficacy that the FDA bought for the Covid "vaccine". No one asked about the 3,410 cases they forgot to tell us about. No wonder this firm has paid out $4.7 Billion in fines and part of this includes the biggest ever fine in corporate history. of $2.3 Billion. Good job the BMJ found out about the 3,410.
I was put on Lipitor and couldn't tolerate it, so my doctor put me on Crestor, which nearly killed me (my lower back muscles felt as if they were disintegrating). So now I don't take any statins, and I told my doctor that I've read that they're a sham. What perplexes me in this presentation, however, is how they obtain the 24% increase in incidence in diabetes for those on Crestor. The actual difference between placebo and medicated groups appears trivial.
I've gone keto and its saving my life!
What a presentation! ❤
My cholesterol is 205, HDL of 60 and risk factor of 3.5. Had several stents and surgery bypass several years . I stopped statins 3 years ago because of serious side effects. My Cardiologist insists I take injections of a new drug to lower my LDL now 125 to below 100. If lipids were so important then my numbers would be great but no, they want to pump you up with useless drugs because that is the standard of care and how they are measured on performance. I now suffer from chronic pain from the statins. Never again, NEVER
I too suffer from chronic pain because of using high dose statins on and off for 15 years. I would stop taking them because of the side effects then my doctor would prescribe a different statin while convincing me that the new ones don't have side effects. I'm disabled now because of the poison called statins. I refuse to let the them measure my cholesterol but they keep insisting that I now take injections of Rapatha, Yes, I have had several stents and bypass surgery.

Hope you can speak before our doctors in the Philippines.
Now I know why the educational system wants to always introduce “new math” every decade: it’s always a new and improved fancy-nancy mangled-&-fangled new way to do math instead of just the olde-fashioned dredging drudgery bludgeoning of doing math the right way to begin with.
THIS IS FABULOUS- I'm sharing with all my clients!
I took high dose stains for over 15 years after a bout with angina and 3 stents. Now I can hardly walk without extreme debilitating pain in my muscles and joints. They said it was my spine and operated twice. I kept getting worse with the doctors ignoring my cry for help. Now they say it is osteoarthritis. Finally I refused to take anymore statins (recently prescribed Crestor by my cardiologist). The doctors refuse to provide adequate pain meds even though it is their fault I am suffering because they are afraid of the DEA. Nobody should take statins. By the way, the statins did not prevent me from having two more stents then a bypass.
You may also indeed have spine issues, but I would stop statins immediately, and stop anything else that is possible. Eat meats and fats, no sugars, no grains, no juices, no sodas. NO oils except olive, coconut, avocado or animal fats and real butter. NO milk. NO artificial sweeteners. NO legumes or potatoes. Do this for three months and then tell us how you feel.
Sir, can yogurt be taken if cholesterl bit higher?
@@mdof9535
The liver produces cholesterol according to the body's need. If yours are higher, it means you need more, and your liver is functional in making it.
If possible, try to purchase full fat yogurt from a local farmer - produced from unpasturized milk - or make your own?
I’m surprised he isn’t called a “cholesterol denier.” This is where science is these days, especially climate science.
He's called a statin denier usually so pretty close.
This continual war between high carb/low carb camps must be wonderful to those who want to divert attention from the real issues. Haven't we learned from history that we are always manipulated into choosing one of two camps and don't they fully support both sides of a phoney debate. You can watch presentations from both sides and be convinced because neither side wants to address their own shortcomings. Yet when you look at some of the consistencies between both sides, you start to understand where our energy needs to be focused, and that is the unnatural chemical, biological and genetic interference in all food production as well as the corruption that leads to profit from suffering and death. And they are still getting away with it all whilst we argue low or high carbs/fat.
Yes, however at least one can think more clearly on a diet high in fat, and the body is able to respond better to stress.
Also, being adapted to burning fat, makes fasting - the most potent form of healing - much easier.
Consider the huge impact a high carb/low fat diet has on suppression of T levels /male leadership; at the same time inducing female dominace.
It also leads to infertility - of both sexes; thus is part of the population control agenda.
This video is awesome!! Thank you for sharing this and helping others know the truth!!

Love David diamond ,amazing debunc of the so called evidence
Dear Dr. David Diamond, thank you and keep up the great work. I am reading The Complete Book of Ketones by Mary T Newport MD who references you and this lecture. I was looking for more scientific evidence to help my father who is in early Alzeimer's and he is 85 with diabetes, heart disease and kidney disease too. He smokes and drinks alcohol for most of his life, even now because he says, I want to live my life (enjoying these pleasures) even if it it means I cant live as long. Mostly he is very positive with his caregivers. But he cant have a decent conversation any longer and I want to help him. It seems FAT in your diet plays a huge role in health and even in dementia, memory, and epilepsy in addition to your body measurements. Even though a high fat/low carb high fat diet can make a huge difference, this world is run by big corporations like FOOD and pharma, and hospitals whose goal is to make money. That is the true conspiracy. Why provide a diet with the truth how it can heal you, when we can make you sick, then charge $200k for your care and an operation and then you will thank us. So keep on eating carbs, low fat, get a big body so it hurts to move, get diabetes and heart disease, then followed by kidney disease and then come to "us" so we can fix you with meds and operations. There are some people like Dr. Diamond and Dr. Newport, Dr. Ted VanItallie who are trying to get the word out, now we have to help them and help ourselves.💘
The best lecture I have heard about statins.
Reminds me of the vaccine efficacy data...relative vs. absolute risk reduction. Same flawed statistical shenanigans.
So I guess then, apart from taking large quantities of K2MK7 in your later years, is to ensure that your blood sugars (thus glycated LDL, Hb) are kept well under control. Else that glycated LDL will mow down the lining on your artery walls and leave you exposed to damage. Interestingly glycated LDL (oxidized) is NOT taken back up into the liver as normal LDL is. So lowering your cholesterol, and LDL is only dealing with the normal LDL, thus increasing the % concentration of glycated LDL in your blood. not good.
A point too often missed sadly.
Yet to be covinced that cholesterol markers are causative of any negative outcomes. Theories around them keep changing.
All these tests seem to be part of milking the cow for profit; they continue to drive fear and stress in the population and their physicians alike; while all the time driving the supposed optimum normal numbers down; this as the diseased state of the population is advancing towards that direction.
It seems rather similar to the HIV retrovirus identified; accompanied by pronouncing a possible death sentence on those who test positive.
Im on a low carb diet and fast every day for 5 years now on omad. However some how i have sdLDL?
LDL3 & LDL4. My Doctor said it might be family related or stress?
Im on ezetimibe to try to rid myself of sdLDL.
How about high Triglicerides? That tends to be associated with high carb diets, correct? How do Triglicerides affect clotting factors and heart disease?
This is true. My Triglicerides and all my other numbers have improved since going low carb,except the ldl...Of course,Do9cs ignore (as mine is now) that the higher chlostrol,the longer you live. I took statens years ago and will never take them again.
If you buy 5 tickets for the national lottery you increase by 5 your chances to win. An extremely small chance of winning x 5 equels a slightly less extremely small chance. The probabilty of losing is still astronomically high. Playing with statistics to mislead is not acceptable and people doing it should be punished.
Love this man!
One of the mechanisms that causes atherosclerosis is haemodynamic stress on the arteries (veins don't get atherosclerosis). Basically the high pressure of the blood puts a mechanical strain on the arteries and if the arteries are not supple enough they can crack, and then the cholesterol rushes in to 'spackle' the crack. Guess what leads to stiff arteries?
Hyperinsulinemia. Basically being insulin resistant and eating a high GI high carb diet causes atherosclerosis. Calcification makes the arteries stiffer and more prone to damage under pressure.
if thats true then how is a high-carb vegan diet used to treat type 2 diabets? I mean the people following this diet even reversed their diabetes so that theory doesnt really hold up www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2677007/
@@jaketaylor1409 same for a low carb ketogenic diet
@@jaketaylor1409 keto and vegan seem to be good for diabetes, it would seem mixing fat and sugar is the problem (randle cycle).
Seeing as there is no such thing as an essential carb, removing them over essential fatty acids would seem the sensible option
37:30 “adverse events” include stents, which are done based on cholesterol level. 🤔
Shouldn't the list of clotting factors mentioned here include HsCRP, homocysteine and Lipoprotein(a)? The high sensitivity C reactive protein is a marker for systemic inflammation, homocysteine is related (maybe not causative though?) to coagulation and a high level of Lipoprotein (little a) is associated with a higher risk of clotting. I understand that much of this can be reduced with simple supplements like Niacin (B3) and other B vitamins in addition to stress reduction, exercise and proper diet. It should be a crime that people are led to believe that these chemical medications will save them from a crappy lifestyle!
Only certain people have elevated lp(a) and there hasn't been any effective way found to lower it. CRP is just a marker for Inflammation and is not specific for heart disease. Lowering an acute phase reactant like CRP would not address the underlying cause of the Inflammation.
You could just stop using vegetable oil, vegetable oil oxidizes when heated and causes oxidized LDL which leads to inflammation. Animals fat on the other hand are stable and do not oxidize
I'm very confused. Vitamin K2 is in Natto and supports clean arteries. But, when you buy Natto supplements they have the vitamin K removed because it states it assists in clotting. Clotting is what we are trying to steer away (why we buy Natto) from unless we are bleeding. So, we want non-sticky blood as the doctor says.....but, we also want K2 (mk-4, mk-7). What part am I not understanding?
Look up the difference between K1 and K2.
From what i know K1 and K 2 are different K2 mk7 with vitamin D will help you in the long run.
The patient has the right to refuse. Look these up.
Yes there is concern that high cholesterol will block arteries. It is about the amount of LDL particles in your blood which can be best measured via ApoB. If the amount of LDL particles exceed the capacity of the available receptors of the liver then you are in trouble. The residence time of the LDL particles will increase and the increasing amount of LDL particles will penetrate the endotheel surface no matter what pattern you have.
This just sucks because sometimes you need medical assistance. But they keep trying to put you on unnecessary drugs instead finding out what the issue is and addressing it.
There is an up-side: It is an interesting adventure to do research and find out yourself why something is wrong and what to do about it!
Just one note. It wasnt really the industry that made this into a problem, the government meddled with peoples diet for political purposes and that attracted sugar companies to lobby not the other way around. Other than that splendit talk.
Anuojat, investigative journalist Nina Teicholz book "The Big Fat Surprise" has great info on who caused the bad nutrition advice in the USA.
Isn't that a distinction without a difference?
With regard to K2MK7 the mechanism by which it is beneficial to arteries is not to do with calcium, but elastin. K2MK7 protects against the degradation of Elastin in your artery walls, keep them smooth, flexible and impervious to plaque. K2 will always calcify plaques, that IS its critical function in protecting the body. It isn't a risk its a benefit. To see some clear evidence of this go to Okinawa where Natto is a daily food source. Just 100 gram of Natto contains 750mcg of K2MK7 that is a very large amount. Okinawan's have a reputation for longevity. AS you age your body serum levels of K2 drop markedly, and also the recycling of K1 to K2 falls - thus your arteries begin to lose their flexibility, and stiffen. Increasing your risk of plaque and breaks/cracks = heart attack, stroke. So the reason that High fat Cheese helps longevity is the same things, but less so than Natto. Calcification of plaques is a Positive, not a negative - K2 is doing what is designed to do to protect the body.
Excellent......
I should stop watching these because I'm getting really upset. I can't unsee this stuff, but my loved ones refuse to even take a look. :(
I sympathise with your predicament, just keep drip feeding the info, and hopefully one day, they'll catch on? Read important bits aloud, leave books on the subject around, persevere and good luck
In principle cholesterol is life-sustaining, not only towards maintaining a healthy brain and nervous system, but for healing&repair of all our cells. It is also needed to produce Vit D; thus preserving our immunity. Therefore a cholesterol-lowering drug is prescribed as an immuno-suppressant before an organ transplant operation - as to limit the possibility of rejection.
A high fat diet stimulates bile production; this is pivotal in emulsifying fats, towards assimilation of fat soluble vitamins; as well as for detoxification, the stimulation of peristalsis, and thus the prevention of constipation & auto-intoxification. Limited bile leads to the formation of gallstones; hence the rising problem of removing gallbladders - induced through low fat diets.
Cardiologist Stephen Sinatra explains how exposure to EMF's disturbs the zeta potential of blood cells, which enable them to push each other away. ('Blood must flow like red wine, not ketchup.') Much of MD Dietrich Klinghardt's treatment for example revolves around lowering EMF exposure.
What is most distubing, is how muscle pain - as result of statins - is brushed aside as if not important. The pain is an indication that nerve cells are dying. As the muscles are losing their nerve innervation, they waste away - including the heart and arteries - all muscles.
Excellent post , great sentence structure, Thanks.
Why is the relative incidence for breast cancer from prolonged statin use significant while the relative risk of cvd death from elevated cholesterol was reasonably explained to be insignificant?
agradecimiento... al DR. CARLOS VALENCIA porque me esta abriendo los ojos en un mundo de mercantilismo...
AMA still pimps Margarines. Enough said.
Lipitor compared to the fake pill (placebo) is 1.1% but end up giving you alzhéimer, diabetes, liver damage and many other bad side effects. BMJ said Statins could do more harm than good, and offer a tiny benefit for those people at low risk.
Thanks for the video! So what diet are you suggesting? Avoid carbs entirely or eat it moderately? And sugar?
Look up ketogenic diet, sugars a no go infact only eat foods low on the Glycemic index (GI)
Root vegetables have some starch, although as unprocessed food, are generally ok to eat in moderation if diabetic, (20 to 50g of carbs daily), and normally if not. Avoid cereal starches, they just turn straight to sugar, and avoid all sugar like the plague, it does nothing but damage.
You need to find what works best for you. MD Nicholas Gonzales worked out more than 10 different diets with individualised supplementation - according to genetic make-up, and autonomous nervous system dominance.
Keep in mind Weston Price's principles: Eat whole foods - locally produced; avoid refined processed foods with additives; do not go low fat; include some animal- and fermented foods.
When it comes to plant foods: Keep in mind not all are friendly:

Amazing !!! how can we translate the transcripts to English?
It’s not modern research. It’s 2 million years old research and at least a century of old research about what keeps us healthy.
It is an interesting lecture in so far as it shows that cholesterol is not the whole story to heart disease (rather convincingly). It's also troubling how scientists with an agenda can bend their results to go their way.
But he makes a bunch of leaps regarding other questions which I cannot be satisfied with.
1. Assuming cholesterol is not responsible for heart disease, that still does not vindicate saturated fat, which may operate through many other pathways. No word on that.
2. The underlying message seems to be that food sources of saturated fat are healthy - that does not follow from the presentation at all.
3. Blood clotting factors are involved in heart disease - what causes their increase?
4. No details on what the 'high carb diet' he was referring to includes. Composition matters. You will find virtually nobody that would argue that a refined carbohydrate diet is healthful.
That being said - keep it coming. These kinds of talk are constructive additions to the nutrition debate. I would like to see some plant-based advocates protecting their case as well (as far as I can tell, there were none who gave talks or were hosted on podcasts)
3) He mentions stress being a big factor. Not sure if its in this video or another.
4) It's low carb diet that he is on and recommends, not high carb. Look up ketogenic or atkins.
Regarding (4), I was referring to the studies which were discussed, showing that high carb diets were unhealthful. Not all carbs are created equal (in terms of GI, other nutritional benefits/drawbacks). So a balanced study would control for these variations.

There is absolutely no need for carbohydrates in the human diet! Just a test question: What is the name of the carbohydrate deficiency disease?
That answers your question !
@@thalesnemo2841 So ALL those cultures who happened to include high amounts of whole-food carbs and lived long lives just had it wrong? Sorry, doesn't add up.
Well put ...
when is hypertension tackled as a parallel issue as cholesterol
Many patients on cholesterol lowering medications were on BP lowering drugs beforehand.
Prescription medications induce chemical stress, and cholesterol levels rise in order to produce more stress hormones.
Dr. John Bergman D.C. talks about this in his lectures about CHOLESTEROL and BLOOD PRESSURE.
I wish that you Doctor had done the research on what fats are better than others. Dr. Berry on the key tone diet eating lard and bacon fats and no regard to Dr. Ornish's life style changes or the impurities in the animal fat which stores the toxins or so I understand vs Flax Seed oil ? If I eat lard I get chest pain. not with Flax seed oil.
Do you have an updated video?
Take some notes Gregor
I am taking a statin prescribed to me for a long time. How do I get off of the statin?
Stop taking it? That might be an idea.
Listen to Ivor Cummins (channel is The Fat Emperor) and Dr Aseem Malhotra. Also check out Dr Eric Berg, who puts together short focused videos on a wide range of topics (don’t be put off by him being a chiropractor who also sells a few supplements). He is an amazing educator, and addresses topics so well for quick answers. Then check the thinking by going to Dr Andreas Eenfeldt’s site www.dietdoctor.com/. There is a lot there to help. Also, be sure to take a bioavailable form of Magnesium like Mg acetyl taurate or malate. Take B12 methylcobalamin, and take NOT-fortified nutritional yeast (add a tablespoon to bone broth). Be sure to get some sun, take Vit K2. Look up Dr Ford Brewer about K2 clearing up arteries. Eat what feels like 2 enormous salads of dark leafy greens with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, and limit spinach because of high oxalates. Ditch all sugar, carbohydrates processed food and seed/vegetable oils. Eat grass fed beef or other red meat. Add a bit of liver. Add lemon juice to your water a couple of times a day, and maybe cut down to 2 meals when you are able and incorporate intermittent fasting. Also add in cruciferous vegetables and onion, garlic, and the occasional red capsicum for a vitamin c boost. Treat yourself with blueberries, the occasional orange or grapefruit, and once a fortnight have a small piece or two of sweet potato or beetroot. Have your evening cup of tea or dandelion with a teaspoon of MCT or coconut oil for brain health and better sleep. It sounds overwhelming but just make the changes one at a time. Best wishes..
There's no withdrawal stuff worry about. Cold Turkey!! #RunAway !!
It is safe to just stop, my partner did, and had no ill effects from stopping, though is still suffering the side effects Simvastin caused in the first place
Dr. John Bergman D.C. also has good YT lectures posted about cholesterol, high blood pressure, detoxification - including from medications - annually updated by reporting about the latest published research.
A lecture for people who learn statistics too . Good examples on how researcher cheat with data
