🚨#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 🤔

But here’s where it gets truly disturbing. Lemov revealed that when the experiment finally came to light, the backlash was swift—and in some cases, tragic. “But, so this is why there was an ethical debate when the experiment was published in 2014,” she said. One user, Lemov recalled, had a chilling reaction. “And on the Facebook page of the research group that that did the experiment, at least one user wrote in saying, could I ever find out if I was in that experiment.” “Because I was in the emergency room at that time with, you know, threatening to commit suicide, and I want to know if my feed was altered and maybe that pushed me over, you know, into that that state.” There was no way to know. “Of course, they could never know and it can’t be traced backwards. And other people had a similar response.” The scandal sparked an investigation by the British government, which considered sanctions over the international scope of the experiment. “And there was even an investigation by the British government about whether this should be sanctioned because it affected users internationally,” Lemov said. But in the end, there was no accountability. “Ultimately, there doesn’t seem to have been any sanctions that came out of in anyone associated with it, is mostly promoted.” No one punished. No warnings given. And we’re all left wondering: how many more experiments are happening right now—hidden in plain sight?

OTD 28 years ago "The Strike" aired, and the world learned about "Festivus." We spoke with Dan O'Keefe whose father created Festivus. Dan was Not a fan of the episode, did Not want the episode to air, and to him, Festivus brings back deep rooted trauma. Dan explains: The way people adopted it, I didn’t see that coming. You gotta understand, I’ve been saying this for a while, yeah, that was my father, he was mentally ill and a drunk, but extremely brilliant. For whatever reason he invented this weird fucking extra holiday that was celebrated at random times. It did not have a set date. It was extremely upsetting. It was like borderline child endangerment, and it was not fun. So my brothers and I had this deal: you do not talk about it outside of the house, and we just try to pretend it’s not happening. But I didn’t pitch it, I didn’t want it to go in. I hoped it would fail and be edited out, and nevertheless, the damn thing survived. The reality is far weirder. I have the CDs that were remastered from the cassette tapes my dad used to make during the annual recording of this insanity, which is mostly him screaming about internal Reader’s Digest politics in a deep slur while my brothers are crying and my mom is telling him to simmer down. That was not something I agitated for, quite the reverse. So how do I feel about it taking off? I try to block it out. This holiday was basically an encapsulation of alcoholism and mental illness into one neat little wrapper. I was as surprised as anyone. I was not a booster of this. I was surprised it got on the air. I am beyond surprised that it seems to be something that has, to some extent, legs. There are still a few people who celebrate it. Good for them. I do not personally. I did my time on that in the ’70s and ’80s. Jerry Stiller made it fun. The real thing was terrifying, obviously, and you understood why George was not in favor of it. But he made it fun, and it was Jeff Schaffer’s joke—the idea to give it a pole. That was not the case. The real symbology of it was more peculiar and not as wholesome as an aluminum pole with a good strength-to-weight ratio.

The Multi-Billion Dollar Lie: How LDL Became "The Bad Cholesterol" In a fascinating exchange on The Joe Rogan Experience, human biologist Gary Brecka deconstructed one of modern medicine's most entrenched narratives: the demonization of LDL cholesterol. Brecka argues the "LDL is bad" story was built on a flawed foundation of isolated science. Researchers observed a correlation—people with heart disease often had high LDL. But, crucially, they didn't solve for the context. What were their insulin levels? Fasting glucose? Inflammatory markers like CRP? The high LDL was often a fellow traveler in a body under metabolic distress from poor diet and lifestyle, not necessarily the sole villain. The proof, Brecka posits, is in the outcomes. If high LDL were a direct cause of mortality, then forcibly lowering it with statins should significantly extend life. "Lo and behold," he states, "we see no extension of mortality." So why does the narrative persist? Brecka points to a trillion-dollar industry and the rigid "Standard of Care." Physicians are trained and financially incentivized to operate within this box. The standard of care for high LDL is a statin. To practice outside of it risks their license, malpractice coverage, and career. Who defines this standard? Brecka is unequivocal: "Pharma dictates that that's the standard of care. They also dictate the reimbursement rates." The system, he explains, creates a herd mentality. It's not that doctors are trying to cause harm; they are practicing within a system designed to maintain a specific protocol, one that is incredibly profitable and legally protected. The conversation is a powerful reminder that true health requires looking at the whole system, not just an isolated biomarker. What are your thoughts on the role of standard of care in modern medicine?

You know I like to ask provocative questions 🧐… Could a NEW 💊 DRUG for Fatty Liver impact LDL cholesterol in lean metabolically healthy people on a #keto diet? If so… HOW and what could we learn!? 👉 New exciting data in NEJM on a phase III trial for a thyroid receptor beta liver-targeting drug shows impressive results for reversing fatty liver In association, there are decreases in LDL-C, along with ApoB, ApoCIII, and even Lp(a) But what happens were we to put this same drug in a VERY different metabolic context? 🔨Would said drug hammer LDL-C in #LMHR into the floor simply because their LDL levels have so far to drop? OR could the opposite happen? ⚡️Could ramping up liver metabolism increase, rather than decrease, LDL-C in LMHR. I don’t know! But point being: CONTEXT, CONTEXT, CONTEXT. Just like OREO Cookie lowered LDL-C in #LMHR, when you change the metabolic context, sometimes you get surprising results And, it’s fair game to speculate (EMPHASIS: I AM SPECULATING) and pose bold ideas, provided we are CLEAR we can’t truly know the answers until we test. For more, see video: I, for one, think the NEJM data are promising for the indicated use case, and humbly share where my scientific mind ‘wanders’ when presented with these data, framed by my own field and interests NEJM paper: P.S. I know people are going to go "off" suggesting I'm recommending X, Y or Z or saying something about "dangers" of high LDL in #LMHR. I'm not. I'm just open-mindedly and transparently providing a provocative thought puzzle... if your emotions are stimulated, I did my job I suppose... if you let them get the better of you... that's on you 😜 cc Dave Feldman Adrian Soto-Mota (my #LEM bros!)
