@BudoffMd I can now report stats consistent with the hypothesis that @realDaveFeldman is, in fact, the devil How dare he rise to the challenge and publish papers and help produce an #LMHRstudy without an MD! How dare he chase his curiosity with integrity and an open-mind! The horror!

Super interesting. It's early days, and a small cohort, but I feel that this line of work promises to teach us something new about the relationship between LDL-cholesterol/apo B-containing particles and ASCVD. Even though it's just the baseline data, given that participants were on keto, supposedly with similarly high LDL-cholesterol, for almost 5 years, one would have expected at least a small detectable difference in the amount of plaque. It's these unexpected findings that sometimes teach us the most, so I will be following publications and future follow-ups of this or similar cohorts closely. The longitudinal data with changes in plaque and CAC scores will be very interesting. Definitely looks like a good effort, and I know firsthand how tricky it can be to obtain funding for something that tests an against-the-grain hypothesis like this. Congrats, @realDaveFeldman, @BudoffMd, and team. On the flip side, I was just about to publish a 45-min video about blood lipids and ASCVD risk. This new finding will now necessitate a bit of a revision ...

Hi @mario_kratz -- First, sorry to hear about disrupting the planned video, I know you take a lot of time and care in putting them together (I've watched many). But of course, you also know I couldn't have discussed until released (yourself being in the craft). Second -- if you don't mind my asking, (and there's no wrong answer to this, btw) have these data impacted your own personal opinion on what you were going to share in the planned video?

@BudoffMd I've been waiting almost 25 years for a study such as this. Just what's been needed looking at CV risk, proper imaging (CAC, CTCA) and ketogenic diets. Kudos to @realDaveFeldman @BudoffMd @nicknorwitz @khurramn1 @Agatston_Center and many others...

@BudoffMd Hmm, so 4.7 yrs of sky high LDL levels didn't result in more coronary plaque compared with control participants with less than half the LDL level. Surprise, surprise! Maybe high LDL doesn't confer the risks we were told, at least for LMHRs (like me).

@BudoffMd Abstract will be published in Metabolism. The full paper is submitted, but as you know, that's not a predictable process with regard to timing – but hopefully it will be out soon.

@BudoffMd the next q about "ascertainment bias" the whole claim is that high LDL, in and of itself, causes atherosclerosis. when it doesn't, they just waive it away with "well the people are just healthy." Exactly! That's the point.

@BudoffMd I’m interested in anything that would be considered a confounder in that it should also likewise be considered a means of treatment for those with diseases associated with high LDL and ASCVD (ie monogenetic FH)

There’s been a lot of buzz—and confusion—about the new Keto-CTA study, examining plaque progression in Lean Mass Hyper-Responders (LMHRs). Much of the social media debate has centered on whether high LDL on keto is safe or dangerous, driven largely by how to interpret the supplemental table comparing this study to others on LDL and plaque progression. In this episode of the Metabolic Mind Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Matthew Budoff, a world-renowned cardiologist, cardiac CT researcher, and the study's lead investigator, to discuss the the supplemental table, what the plaque markers mean, and how this fits into the discussion of high- vs -low-risk plaque progression. In this episode, we cover: ✅ What PAV (Percent Atheroma Volume) is, what it actually measures, and why it matters ✅ Why a 50% increase in plaque may sound scary, but can be deceiving ✅ The difference between “treatment-naive” and “treated” participants ✅ What the Miami Heart Study comparison reveals about keto, LDL, and plaque ✅ Why LDL alone may not tell the whole story about heart disease risk ✅ How some high-risk individuals may still benefit from statins and other therapies This study doesn’t answer whether keto causes heart disease or not. Instead, it shows that high LDL on a ketogenic diet is not a reliable predictor of plaque progression across all individuals. What is predictive? The presence of existing plaque. 💡 Key takeaway: Relying on surrogate markers of heart disease, like LDL and ApoB, is not the best way to assess heart disease risk in all populations. If you're concerned about how elevated LDL may be affecting your heart health, the best next step is to speak with your doctor about cardiac imaging to directly assess plaque and gain a clearer picture of your individual risk.

🚨#OreoVsStatin - PUBLISHED!🚨 OREO Cookie cookies were 💥2X as potent💥 at lowering my LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) compared to high-intensity statin therapy! What you NEED to know... 👉This was a metabolic demonstration, a 'do not do this at home' experiment that makes no 'health' claims about cookies or cholesterol. 👉The purpose was to BOLDLY test a prediction of the Lipid Energy Model #LEM, i.e. that adding in carbs, including in the from of an Oreo cookies 'addition' (not carb-fat swap) would lower LDL-C in an LMHR on a #keto diet Why Oreos? ... It's (productively) provocative! 😱 Research on #cholesterol on #keto diets and the #LEM and #LMHR phenotype has so much to teach us about human lipid metabolism! ... But how do I (we) communicate the scientific 'awe' that we feel to the greatest number of people (as well as force a conversation about #LMHR and #LEM that needs to happen)? ... A dramatic demonstration designed to turn heads might work! It's not 'just click bait' ... it's 'legit-bait' I want YOU to feel the 'shock and awe' I feel every day studying this topic. And I want you to engage in the research journey. What you need to do... or should do... 🙏PRETTY PLEASE 🙏! 👉PLEASE WATCH 👀 VIDEO ABSTRACT here (<8 min): 👉 SHARE THIS LINK to the paper itself in a quote RT or original Tweet of your own: ... doing so helps promote the work and provoke the discussion ... and feel free to tag in your favorite influencers (or least favorite 😉)... A HUGE thanks to the senior author and expert lipidologist William Cromwell, MD for his guiding wisdom, insightful thoughts, and always open and curious mind. And to Dave Feldman, my friend, research wife, and the '#LEM daddy' Finally... there will be a LOT of coverage of this experiment. Keep in mind, we are not making any health claims, but through a dramatic demonstration, highlighting an uncomfortable tension that arises from a prediction of the Lipid Energy Model, and that is consistent with prior data (7+ papers, including 'highest tier' data like our recent meta-analysis of 41 RCTs). Science is supposed to embrace such uncomfortable questions... so, join us in being curious and advocating for much needed research on #LEM and #LMHR so we can make sense of what observations like this really mean... STAY CURIOUS 🤔

What if everything we thought we knew about cholesterol and heart disease risk… doesn’t apply to everyone? In this episode, world-renowned cardiologist Dr. Matthew Budoff unpacks the results of a landmark one-year study tracking 100 lean, metabolically healthy individuals on a ketogenic diet with extremely elevated LDL levels. Dr. Budoff is the Program Director, Director of Cardiac CT, and the endowed chair of preventive cardiology at The Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. In this interview, Dr. Scher and Dr. Budoff further break down the results of his new publication, which used advanced imaging to demonstrate that LDL cholesterol and ApoB levels are not associated with plaque progression in Lean-Mass Hyper Responders following a #ketogenicdiet. 📊 Surprising insights: • Elevated LDL and ApoB did not predict plaque progression • Some participants with LDLs over 500 showed no plaque at all • A few participants even experienced plaque regression • Existing plaque—not LDL-C or ApoB—did predict plaque accumulation in this population Dr. Budoff explains what these results mean for clinicians, for patients using ketogenic therapy as a medical intervention, and for the broader conversation around cardiovascular disease risk. “It is important that clinicians, along with the general public, are made aware that personalized, data-driven approaches to assessing risk should be considered based on individual conditions,” said Dr. Budoff. “The existence of this phenotype suggests that alternative markers or tests should be used to establish metabolic health in some cases.” 🎬 These exciting new findings are featured in Dave Feldman and Jen Isenhart’s upcoming documentary, The Cholesterol Code, the story of how a software engineer conducts a groundbreaking study on an unusual group of people—lean, healthy individuals whose doctors are convinced they’ll die young. Real stories of healing with ketogenic diets provide a blueprint for using food as powerful medicine.

"Acceptable" LDL Cholesterol Levels Used To Be 250 mg/dl. This Arbitrary Number Was Chosen By Big Pharma To Sell Statins. Dr Stephen Hussey Now, "Acceptable" Levels Must Be Below 100 mg/dl. Big Pharma Keeps Moving The Goalpost To Prescribe More Statins. Cholesterol Does Not Cause Heart Disease & Statins Have Never Been Proven To PREVENT Heart Disease. The Great Cholesterol Con Is Crumbling Down... Breaking New Study Reveals 17.3 Million Adults Do Not Need Statins, Including 4.1 Million Currently Taking Them. In 1984, one committee heavily influenced by Big Pharma decided, based on NO research or evidence, that LDL Cholesterol was bad & should be 250 mg/dl or lower. Over the years, the pharmaceutical industry used their power & leverage to lower these levels again based on NO research or evidence. They changed the guideline again in order to prescribe more Statins & now LDL Cholesterol must be kept below 100 mg/dl. No one knows what ideal Cholesterol levels are & there are no "best levels" at all. The entire idea that Cholesterol is bad came from very low quality associational studies & the number was basically made up. And then that arbitrary number was lowered every few years to make more profit from Statins. The lower Big Pharma can make the Cholesterol level guidelines, the more drugs are prescribed & sold. Making the Statin industry one of the biggest selling medicines worldwide accounting for an annual profit of $19 Billion & growing higher each year. We now know that Metabolic Dysfunction & Inflammation cause cardiovascular disease, heart attack, atherosclerosis & stroke. Which has given rise to Big Pharma once again profiting thru "Metabolic Drugs" like Ozempic, which are being pushed heavily & causing grave side effects for consumers. Medications are never going to be the answer for why this world is so sick. The only way to optimize vibrant health is for each person to make drastic lifestyle changes: 1: Nutrient Dense Animal Foods 2: Single Ingredient Whole Foods 3: Sun Exposure 4: Optimizing Circadian Rhythm 5: Avoid Toxin Exposure 6: Grounding/Direct Earth Contact 7: Fasting/Time Restricted Eating *⃣This means eliminating seed oils, eliminating ultra processed foods, no high carbohydrate diet, no added sugars*⃣ 👇2024 Statins Provide No Primary Benefit👇 👇The Higher Your LDL, The Longer You Live👇 👇The Keto Trial: LDL Rise Is Normal & Expected👇 Video Speaker: Dr. Stephen Hussey, DC
