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.

"Calcium Supplements Are Dangerous...The Best Calcium Supplement To Take Is NONE." "Synthetic Vitamins Increase Your Likelihood Of Dying." Dr Josh Axe Calcium Supplements Do Not Fortify Bones. They Cause Kidney Stones, Colon Polyps, Cancer, Blood Clots, Heart Attacks & Stroke. "There Is No Evidence That Calcium Supplements Fortify Bones...But There Is A Massive Body Of Evidence That They Are Harmful." Synthetic calcium supplementation is not processed in the body the same way as it is when ingested from a food source. Multiple studies have found that there’s no benefit to taking calcium supplements for the prevention of fractures & Osteoporosis. On the other hand, there is massive research proving calcium supplements cause colon polyps, serrated growths in the large intestine that lead to cancer & calcium supplements also cause kidney stones, which are hard masses formed in the kidneys from an accumulation of calcium. Calcium supplements increase the risk of calcium buildup in the heart’s arteries. This calcification leads to cardiovascular disease resulting in blood clots, heart attacks & strokes. Dr Erin Michos, MD...associate director of preventive cardiology, "I’m very concerned about calcium supplements contributing to heart attacks & heart disease. The body can process 500 milligrams of calcium at a time from your food, from dietary natural calcium. If you take a synthetic calcium supplement, your body has to do something with the excess. Higher calcium levels in the blood trigger blood clots & that calcium also gets deposited along artery walls, which causes narrowing of blood vessels." Synthetic Calcium Supplementation And... 1⃣ Colon Polyps...calcium supplements cause 2.5 times the rate of sessile serrated colon polyps, which are pre-cancerous polyps. 2⃣ Colon Cancer...synthetic calcium supplements increase bowel lesions putting you at risk for cancer. 3⃣ Kidney Stones...calcium supplements bind with oxalic acid found in food, causing toxic levels of oxalate in the urine & form calcium oxalate kidney stones. 4⃣ Atherosclerosis...high calcium levels from synthetic supplements cause hardening of the arteries & arterial calcification. 5⃣ Blood Clots...calcium supplements produce a hypercoagulable state where blood clots more easily. This increases the risk of blood clots in the heart & brain, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT). 6⃣ Heart Attacks...calcium supplementation increases cardiovascular risk, including coronary heart disease & myocardial infarction. 7⃣ Strokes...synthetic calcium supplements significantly increase risk of acute myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke & death. For strong bones...what is essential is weight bearing exercise to build bone. Bones are 50% protein & require 1 gram of protein per 1 pound of ideal body weight in the daily diet. A 150lb person needs at least 150 grams of nutrient dense animal protein per day to rebuild bone & to prevent Osteoporosis in the 1st place. Bones require an array of unrefined minerals including Boron, Zinc & Magnesium which can be obtained by daily use of unrefined mineral salt & in whole foods. Strong bones also require Vitamin D from daily sun exposure &/or infrared light. 👇Calcium Supplements & Colon Cancer👇 👇Calcium Supplements Cause Serrated Polyps👇 👇Calcium Supplements Cause Urinary Stones👇 👇Calcium Supplements Cause CVD & Stroke👇 Speakers: Alex Clark & Dr Josh Axe

"Calcium Supplements Kill An Enormous Number Of People Around The World Every Year." Dr Thomas Levy, MD Cardiologist Calcium Supplements Cause Cancer, Artery Calcification, Blood Clots, Polyps & Kidney Stones. "Calcium Toxicity Predisposes You To Every Disease Known To Man..." Research studies clearly show that the best calcium supplement to take...is none. There is no actual evidence that calcium supplements fortify bones or contribute to vibrant health in any way. This is another propaganda tactic by Big Food/Big Pharma. There is, however, a large body of scientific literature as to the harms that supplemental calcium causes. Synthetic calcium supplementation is not processed in the body the same way as it is when ingested from a food source. Natural calcium from dairy is fully absorbed, used & integrated towards optimal health. It is in it's whole form with the complementary minerals needed for absorption. The body does not know what to do with or how to process isolated synthetic calcium supplements. Synthetic Calcium Supplementation Will Cause: *⃣ Colon Cancer...synthetic calcium supplements increase bowel lesions putting you at risk for cancer. *⃣ Colon Polyps...calcium supplements cause 2.5 times the rate of sessile serrated colon polyps, which are pre-cancerous polyps. *⃣ Atherosclerosis...high calcium levels from synthetic supplements cause hardening of the arteries & arterial calcification. *⃣ Blood Clots...calcium supplements produce a hypercoagulable state where blood clots more easily. This increases the risk of blood clots in the heart & brain, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT). *⃣ Strokes...synthetic calcium supplements significantly increase risk of acute myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke & death. *⃣ Kidney Stones...calcium supplements bind with oxalic acid found in food, causing toxic levels of oxalate in the urine & form calcium oxalate kidney stones. *⃣ Heart Attacks...calcium supplementation increases cardiovascular risk, including coronary heart disease & myocardial infarction. What Is Needed For Optimal Balance: Magnesium From Whole Foods &/or Magnesium Glycinate or Magnesium Threonate Supplement. Vitamin D From Whole Foods, Sun Exposure &/or Red Light Therapy. Vitamin D3 Supplement as Last Resort. Vitamin K2 From Whole Animal Sourced Foods & Fermented Foods &/or K2 Supplement. 👇Calcium Supplements & Colon Cancer👇 👇Calcium Supplements Cause Serrated Polyps👇 👇Calcium Supplements Cause CVD & Stroke👇 👇Calcium Supplements Cause Urinary Stones👇 Speaker: Dr Thomas Levy, MD Cardiologist Video: WR

This Zimbabwean member of parliament whose parliamentary submission has gone viral is making a valid point based on peer-reviewed research. She is essentially saying that men who have regular sex are also reducing their risk of prostate cancer. Medical studies suggest a link between frequent ejaculation and a reduced risk of prostate cancer. However, the exact number of times a man should ejaculate per month to maintain optimal prostate health has not been definitively established. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found that men who reported ejaculating at least 21 times a month had a lower risk of developing prostate cancer compared to those who ejaculated less frequently. The study, which followed over 31,000 men for several years, suggested a correlation between frequent ejaculation and a lower risk of prostate cancer. A study conducted by Australian researchers and published in the journal British Journal of Urology (BJU) in 2003 found that men who ejaculated more than five times per week in their 20s had a reduced risk of prostate cancer compared to those who ejaculated less frequently. A 2008 study in the British Journal of Urology International examined over 30,000 men and found that those who reported higher ejaculation frequency showed a lower risk of prostate cancer. A 2016 study published in the journal European Urology investigated the association between ejaculation frequency and the risk of prostate cancer. The study found that men with a higher ejaculation frequency had a lower risk of developing prostate cancer, particularly in their 40s. Men over 40 should have regular medical check-ups and discuss any concerns about their prostate health with healthcare providers such as nurses and doctors. While this data is available for us to engage with, we cannot return to the old tradition she mentions in her presentation of passing on young women from the wife’s family to older men. The JAMA study's findings do not justify the revival of the outdated and exploitative traditional practice of passing young women from the wife's family to older men. Read more here; More👇🏿

🫀 Detecting Diffuse Non-Calcified Coronary Atherosclerosis with Photon Counting CT: Seeing What Conventional CT Often Misses In coronary CTA, the hardest disease to detect is not focal stenosis. It’s diffuse, non-calcified atherosclerosis. No obvious narrowing. No calcium. Just subtle, continuous vessel wall involvement. This is where Photon-Counting CT (PCCT) changes the rules. 🧠 Why it’s difficult Diffuse non-calcified disease presents as: ✔️ Mild, long-segment wall thickening ✔️ Subtle attenuation differences vs lumen ✔️ Positive remodeling without clear stenosis With conventional CT: ✔️ Limited spatial resolution blurs the wall ✔️ Low contrast resolution hides soft plaque ✔️ Motion and noise mask continuity 👉 Result: disease is underestimated or missed ⚡ What PCCT enables ✔️ Ultra-high spatial resolution Clear visualization of the vessel wall along its entire course Detection of subtle, diffuse thickening ✔️ High iodine concentration (400 mg I/mL) Strong intraluminal signal Higher contrast between lumen and vessel wall Diffuse disease becomes visible as a pattern, not noise ✔️ High temporal resolution Reduced motion blur Stable assessment of long coronary segments ✔️ Spectral capability Cleaner iodine–tissue separation Additional confidence in identifying non-calcified plaque 🎯 The shift We move from: Detecting focal stenosis To: Recognizing diffuse atherosclerotic burden From: “Is there a blockage?” To: “How diseased is the artery overall?” Diffuse coronary disease is real. It has always been there. Now we can see it. That’s the power of Photon-Counting CT in coronary atherosclerosis. ⚡🫀 #PhotonCountingCT #PCCT #CoronaryCTA #Atherosclerosis #NonCalcifiedPlaque #PreventiveCardiology #CardiacCT #RadiologyInnovation #yesCCT

"Cholesterol Is The Most Important Molecule In The Body...Don't Blame Cholesterol For The Harm That Calcium Causes." Dr Hal Huggins "1.5% Of Arterial Plaque Is Fat & Of That 0.5% Is Cholesterol." "90% Of The Plaque Is Calcium. So Where's The Problem...Calcium Or Cholesterol?" Cholesterol isn’t the enemy. In fact, it’s one of the most essential substances in your body. 60% of your brain is fat & 30% of that is cholesterol. Your hormones, cell membranes & nervous system all depend on it. The mainstream message that high cholesterol causes clogged arteries is fraudulent & wrong. Studies show that arterial plaque is mostly calcium — not cholesterol. Only 0.5% of the plaque is cholesterol. The rest? Over 90% is calcium buildup. Atherosclerosis Is An Inflammatory Disease, Not A Cholesterol Disease or A Statin Deficiency. Cholesterol is not the cause of the Inflammation that turns to arterial plaque & atherosclerosis. Eliminate The Root of The Inflammation Which Causes The Arterial Damage: Low Vitamin D Levels Magnesium Deficiency K2 Deficiency Calcium Supplements Industrial Seed Oils Processed Sugar Carbohydrates Insulin Resistance Ultra Processed Foods Smoking Obesity Environmental Toxins Poor Sleep Lack of Exercise Stress A whole food, low carbohydrate diet prioritizing nutrient dense animal foods, eliminating harmful seed oils & sugar, provides the best healthy cholesterol profile. This lifestyle keeps Triglycerides low & HDL high, which is one of the best biomarkers for heart health. TG/HDL ratio optimally should be 1.5 or less. 👇The Higher Your LDL, The Longer You Live👇 👇LDL Paradox: Higher LDL, Greater Longevity👇 👇LDL Does Not Cause Cardiovascular Disease👇 Speaker: Dr Hal Huggins Video: WR

Massive Study Reveals More Bad News for the COVID Vaccinated The "conspiracy theorists" were right once again. There are HUGE health risks from the jab, no matter how much the media tries to downplay it. Take a look for yourself: Moderna (Dose 1/2): • Swelling of the brain and spinal cord: Almost 4 times (400%) increased risk (first dose) • Myocarditis: 3.48 times increased risk (first dose) • Pericarditis: 1.74 times increased risk (first dose) • Myocarditis (Second shot): 6.1 times increased risk AstraZeneca: • Blood clots: 3.23 times (320%) increased risk • Guillain–Barré syndrome (could lead to paralysis): 2.49 times increased risk • Pericarditis (Third dose): 6.91 times increased risk Pfizer: • Myocarditis (First dose): 2.78 times increased risk • Myocarditis (Second dose): 2.86 times increased risk • Myocarditis (Third dose): 2.09 times increased risk Moderna (Further doses beyond the first): • Myocarditis from the second shot: 6.1 times increased risk • Pericarditis (Fourth dose): 2.64 times increased risk • Myocarditis from the third dose: 2.01 times increased risk This study conducted by the Global Vaccine Data Network (GVDN) looked at a cohort of 99 million vaccinated individuals. The increased risks were compared to what was expected based on pre-COVID-19 vaccination healthcare data, or in simpler terms, if you did not receive the jab at all. Most of the above risk factors are calculated based on a single dose. When you consider many people took three shots or more, the results of the study become even more alarming. Listen to what Del Bigtree, host of The Highwire, had to say: “And they’re not even talking about cancer … but how about this? You’re like, well, only six times the amount of myocarditis. But if you add that six times to the two or three times for myocarditis. And what about the blood clots and stroke? What happens? “They’re not just six by themselves. They all stack up. What are we, like, 20 times the amount of risk for getting totally jacked up by this vaccine? And they’re only just starting the list. “And trust me, the scientists did everything they could to make this as conservative as they possibly could because no one wants to be responsible for, God forbid, say, we need to recall a vaccine.”

CAC Coronary Artery Calcium Scan: New Heart Disease Test Causes Cancer. Major Organizations Warn Public Against It... 42 Of Every 100K Patients Develop Cancer From Ionizing Radiation. Radiation Dosage Varies 10X From One Hospital To Another, Causing 5,600 New Cases Of Cancer. The American Heart Association, American College of Cardiology & the United States Preventive Services Task Force do not recommend the use of heart CT scans for patients with a low or high risk of heart disease because CT scans could be more harmful than beneficial due to the relatively high dose of radiation. "Tens of millions of adults would be exposed to relatively high levels of radiation through this procedure. Doctors still have not established a standard dose of radiation to be used for heart CT scans & doses for this test vary from one hospital to another, with some patients getting 10X the amount of radiation as patients in another hospital." A 2009 study showed that one heart CT scan for the 50 million Americans who would receive the average radiation dose, these scans would result in 5,600 new cancer cases. The number of new cancer cases would be even higher if individuals were screened more than once in their lifetime. Radiation from CT scans is even of concern to the FDA even when the CT scans are necessary. On October 9, 2009, the FDA announced that it was notifying healthcare professionals that 206 patients who were being tested for stroke received CT radiation doses that were 8X the expected level at one particular medical facility. While this event involved a single kind of diagnostic test at one facility, the FDA warned that “it reflects more widespread problems with CT quality assurance programs.” Each year, over 600,000 Americans die from heart disease even though heart disease can be prevented. Although heart CT scanning may be a useful tool in detecting blockages in heart arteries, there is not enough evidence to show that this test is worth the risks, especially compared to traditional risk factor assessment. For this reason, the Cancer Prevention & Treatment Fund of the National Research Center for Women & Families agrees with the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force that heart CT scans are not recommended for screening for heart disease. 👇CAC Screening Radiation 10X Cancer Risk👇 👇Ionizing Radiation Risk From CAC Test👇 👇Cancer Risk From CT Scan Radiation👇 Video: Dr David Alfrey

Largest Vaccine Study Ever Reveals What the "Conspiracy Theorists" Said All Along Scientists found MASSIVE increased risks of developing several serious health conditions post-jab. But headlines suggest they're "small" and "rare." Take a look for yourself. Moderna (1st Dose): • Swelling of the brain and spinal cord: Almost 4 times (400%) increased risk • Myocarditis: 3.48 times increased risk • Pericarditis: 1.74 times increased risk • Myocarditis (Second shot): 6.1 times increased risk AstraZeneca: • Blood clots: 3.23 times (320%) increased risk • Guillain–Barré syndrome (could lead to paralysis): 2.49 times increased risk • Pericarditis (Third dose): 6.91 times increased risk Pfizer: • Myocarditis (First dose): 2.78 times increased risk • Myocarditis (Second dose): 2.86 times increased risk • Myocarditis (Third dose): 2.09 times increased risk Moderna (Further doses beyond the first): • Myocarditis from the second shot: 6.1 times increased risk • Pericarditis (Fourth dose): 2.64 times increased risk • Myocarditis from the third dose: 2.01 times increased risk This study conducted by the Global Vaccine Data Network (GVDN) looked at a cohort of 99 million vaccinated individuals.
