Why Are We Still Playing "Cholesterol Uno?" 🤔👇 (85 sec clip, link to full video below) "When faced with data showing that “optimal” LDL-C levels fail to prevent atherosclerosis, the final retreat is almost always the same: the LDL-C just wasn’t low enough. “Lower is better” the mantra goes.... If a mean LDL of 57 mg/dL isn’t sufficient to make atherosclerosis an orphan disease, then the solution must be 40. Or 30. Or 20. Or even 10 mg/dL. Heck, let’s just try to hit zero like we’re playing cholesterol Uno… What this reflexive response reveals is the profound keyhole thinking that has come to dominate conventional cardiology Medicine has become so siloed and sub-specialized that success is often defined within the narrow boundaries of a single biomarker or organ system, rather than in terms of whole-person health. It is entirely possible—at least in theory—that taking a sledgehammer to LDL-C and ApoB, driving them as close to zero as possible, could further reduce cardiovascular events. But that framing dodges the far more important question: what are we trading? Because LDL-lowering therapies are not benign."show more

Cardiology has become obsessed with the mantra “lower is better.” Lower LDL, lower ApoB, and you're going to be better off. This simple tagline misses the forest for a stupid little cholesterol shrub. It’s well known that intervening to lower LDL and ApoB doesn’t necessarily result in better overall outcomes for the whole person, even in circumstances where cardiovascular risk might be reduced. It's therefore incredibly sad when "certain cardiologist experts" (heavy quotes there) make false claims like: "people with a PCSK9 loss of function mutation have very low LDL-C and live 15-20 years longer than those who don't. And we have meds now that cause that effect." That nonsense I could forgive. What is far more troubling is that there's a general failure to challange problematic (and sometimes outright false) narratives like this provided they align with the status quo, even when the status quo has failed public health miserably. We need to broaden the aperture of the discussion because the "science is not settled." Below is an excerpt from this morning video on the lipid marker linked to longevity (not LDL or ApoB): 🚨Then, of course, watch The Cholesterol Code movie on Amazon and leave a review! #CholesterolCodeMovie Dave Feldman

Dr. Paul Saladino reveals why the standard belief about LDL cholesterol is failing your heart health "Why do humans only develop atherosclerosis in arteries and not veins? The same amount of LDL cholesterol is circulating in my veins as in my arteries. It's a contiguous system. Veins don't develop atherosclerosis, only arteries" "Arteries are much more muscular because they must carry more pressure. When there's more pressure, there's more denuding of the endothelium, which means there's more damage just by being an artery because the pressure in there is higher" "My argument is apoB-containing particles like LDL are not atherosclerotic. You need endothelial damage to initiate atherosclerosis. Maybe they're arriving to the scene of the damage as part of the healing process—are they the firemen or are they the arsonist?"

LDL Cholesterol Saves Lives! What a fantastic example of cherry picking! Yes this person is right, in ELDERLY people, all cause mortality is greater amongst those with low LDL cholesterol… but WHY? And why didn’t he bring up all cause mortality with LDL levels amongst those who are not elderly? Oh because he doesn’t like that data. This is a textbook example of reverse causality. LDL Cholesterol is not protecting people from disease, but rather people with wasting diseases like cancer are more likely to be resistant to wasting if LDL is not low, indicating that they are not emaciated. But if we zoom out of the elderly and look at lifelong LDL exposure & the risk of mortality, it tells a very different story. Lifelong LDL cholesterol exposure has a LINEAR association with increased mortality, especially from cardiovascular disease (CVD) (PMIDs: 23083789, 38241044, & 30694319). In fact, reduced LDL exposure early in life throughout adulthood can reduce the chance of mortality from CVD by up to 3 times! Gee I wonder why he didn’t mention that. Additionally, the unremarkable results from many statin trials comes from the fact that often these are prescribed after a CVD event or later in life when someone has already done significant damage to their blood vessels. But even with that being the case we do see a clinically significant benefit in lowering the risk of mortality with statin use (PMIDs: 36233511 & 37368941). That said, statins can have some side effects & are not appropriate for everyone & you should speak to a cardiologist about your options if you have high LDL But this is a textbook example of carnivore zealots trying to do f***ery with science & giving you a 3rd of the info to try to trick you into believing their nonsense

"The Standard Of Care In Prescribing Statins Is Killing People." Gary Brecka "Cholesterol Does Not Cause Atherosclerotic Plaque Or Narrowing Of The Arteries." "There's No Correlation Between Elevated LDL & Cardiovascular Disease." "People Living To 100 Have High Cholesterol." Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease, not a cholesterol disease & never a statin deficiency. LDL is a transport molecule delivering cholesterol to repair the cell membrane of the arterial wall that has been damaged by lifestyle & environmental factors. LDL is preventive of disease & immune system protective. LDL Low Density Lipoprotein is responsible for these key functions: 🛞 LDL delivers fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E & K for critical functions. 🛞 LDL maintains cell membrane structure & keeps electron flow stable. 🛞 It transports antioxidants like vitamin E to fight oxidative stress. 🛞 It provides the raw material for making all steroid hormones. 🛞 It delivers energy-rich triglycerides to keep metabolism flexible. 🛞 LDL neutralizes bacterial toxins & supports innate immunity. 🛞 It builds lipid rafts that organize cell signaling & redox balance. 🛞 It helps structure water around membranes to maintain charge. 🛞 LDL supplies cholesterol to repair damaged tissues & membranes. The root causes of atherosclerosis, hardening of the arteries, calcification & plaque is not cholesterol...but a combination of these factors: Industrial Seed Oils Processed Sugar Excess Carbohydrates Insulin Resistance Ultra Processed Foods Smoking Obesity Environmental Toxins Poor Sleep Excess Calcium From Supplements Low Vitamin D Levels Magnesium Deficiency K2 Deficiency Lack of Exercise Stress Heavy Metals Most chronic disease happens within us, not to us, almost all atherosclerosis causal factors are modifiable by lifestyle changes. A low carbohydrate diet prioritizing nutrient dense animal foods, eliminating harmful seed oils & sugar, provides the best healthy cholesterol profile. This approach keeps Triglycerides low & HDL high, which is one of the best biomarkers for heart health. Optimal TG/HDL ratio is 1.5 or less. 👇The Higher Your LDL, The Longer You Live👇 👇LDL Paradox: Higher LDL, Greater Longevity👇 👇LDL Does Not Cause Cardiovascular Disease👇 Speakers: Gary Brecka & Patrick Bet-David Podcast: PBD Podcast

Cardiology Has an LDL Obsession. What to Measure Instead... 🔗New video: 👇1 min clip on LDL vs Insulin Resistance The landscape of atherosclerosis is changing. New drugs are lowering LDL, total cholesterol and ApoB lower and lower, while larger risk factors like insulin resistance, obesity, and diabetes persist. If you want a comparison, lipoprotein insulin resistance score (LP-IR). Because 1.0 is risk neutral, insulin resistance score is a more than 14X more powerful predictor of new coronary heart disease than LDL. But we know who gets all the attention. Answer: [See Clip] That’s not proportional medicine Do you agree? For more nuances see the video linked above. cc Benjamin Bikman Dave Feldman

Joe Rogan’s guest Gary Brecka dismantled one of the most profitable narratives in modern medicine — the “good vs bad cholesterol” myth. For decades, pharma-backed health campaigns have pushed the idea that LDL is the bad cholesterol and HDL the good, persuading millions to take statins to lower LDL at all costs. But according to Brecka and cardiologists like Dr. Aseem Malhotra, this simplistic model ignores the real biology. What actually matters, Brecka explains, is particle size. When triglycerides rise — often due to high-sugar, high-glycaemic diets and insulin resistance — LDL particles shrink. Smaller particles (the “BBs”) can penetrate arterial walls, become oxidized, and trigger inflammation. Large, buoyant LDL particles (the “basketballs”) do not. Two people can have the same total cholesterol, but vastly different cardiovascular outcomes — depending on triglyceride levels, insulin sensitivity, and inflammation markers like C-reactive protein. Brecka emphasizes that cholesterol isn’t the villain; it’s the firefighter showing up to the fire — a response to inflammation, not the cause of it. Cardiovascular health, he argues, should focus on the metabolic picture: – Fasting insulin – Blood glucose and A1C – Triglyceride-to-HDL ratio – C-reactive protein Not simply on driving LDL numbers down with lifelong statin use. Brecka even noted that in his work processing death claims for centenarians, he never came across one who didn’t have elevated LDL levels — raising serious questions about whether low cholesterol truly equals longevity. This challenges decades of medical orthodoxy and billions in drug sales. But the evidence is catching up: metabolic dysfunction, not LDL itself, is the real culprit behind atherosclerosis.

LDL and the Problem of Incomplete Framing 🫀 Here's my mini rant... There is long list of risk factors that carry far greater consequence than LDL alone. Take obesity, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, elevated blood pressure, chronic inflammation, smoking history. I could go on, but the point is actually really obvious... When LDL cholesterol monopolizes the spotlight, the problem is that the framing is incomplete. Instead, it becomes actively harmful to patients to pull away attention and clinical urgency from factors that matter more than LDL. The spotlight of medicine directs attention and resources, towards what's easiest to monetize and medicalize: LDL cholesterol, a marker that's easy to smash with a drug that makes money. I am NOT making the argument about bad intentions. I'm describing a clear systemic problem, one that perpetuates the broader metabolic health epidemic we continue to find ourselves in, including cardiovascular disease.

"Statin Drugs Have Not Saved Millions Of Lives." Dr Jack Wolfson, Cardiologist "Statins Have Actually Killed Millions Of People." Low Cholesterol Causes 3X Increase In Brain Bleed Strokes. Every 30 mg Decrease In Cholesterol Causes A 22% Higher Risk Of Death From All Causes... Documented Peer Reviewed Data Shows: When LDL decreases below 70 mg/dL, hemorrhagic strokes (brain bleeds) increase 3 fold. The Minnesota Coronary Experiment showed that for every 30 mg/dL (0.78 mmol/L) decrease in serum cholesterol is linked with 22% higher risk of death from any cause. When total cholesterol is chemically lowered below 180 mg/dL the rate of cancer & dementia increases dramatically. And when total cholesterol stays under 150 mg/dL, chronic illnesses like cancer & autoimmune diseases strike. 36% of those on statin therapy will be diagnosed with new onset type 2 diabetes. Research has confirmed over & over that the higher your LDL the longer you live. LDL is a transport molecule for cholesterol & a vital immune system regulator. Lowering LDL thru statin drugs has deadly & deleterious effects. Vibrant Health Can Start To Be Attained When: Total Cholesterol is at minimum 200 mg/dL corresponding to a cholesterol level of 5.2 mmol/L in non US countries. Acceptable total cholesterol in 1960 was 350 mg/dL. Lowering cholesterol does not lower Cardiovascular risk or disease.

Might something different be going on for these people than other people who have high LDL cholesterol? Lean mass hyper-responders (LMHR) are defined as having a lean physique, high LDL, high HDL and low triglycerides while on a #Keto diet. Many LMHRs still choose to follow a ketogenic diet to treat conditions like diabetes, insulin resistance, IBS, epilepsy, or mental disorders, and see great benefits to their health. PhD and Harvard Medical School student, Nick Norwitz MD PhD, himself a LMHR, sought an answer. In an N=1 experiment, Nick found that he could lower his LDL cholesterol twice as much with Oreo cookies compared to statins! High #LDL has traditionally been considered a risk factor for heart disease, but do we need to change how we think about LDL for a LMHR? If Oreos can beat statins, should that make us wonder if lowering LDL is the right approach for everyone? Watch the full YouTube interview here: Read the published study:

"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

In conversation with Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D., Peter Attia explains why ApoB should be treated as a causal driver of heart disease, not just a risk marker: “There is no ambiguity that ApoB is causally related to atherosclerosis.” “LDL cholesterol or ApoB, causally related to atherosclerosis. Well, if that’s true, and I haven’t seen a credible argument that it’s not.” “If a risk is causal and it is modifiable, it should be modified regardless of the risk tail and duration.” “The earlier you start, the less aggressive you need to be, the less damage that’s there already.”

"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

"Just Because Cholesterol Is At The Scene Of The Crime, Doesn't Mean It's The Perpetrator." Dr Aseem Malhotra, Cardiologist "Cholesterol Is Not The Driver Of Atherosclerosis Plaque. Cholesterol Is The Firefighter, The First Responder." We find cholesterol in these fatty deposits in the inner lining of the artery, these plaques, but the cholesterol is also there with lots of immune cells. The damage to the lining of the inner artery is caused by lifestyle factors such as smoking, sugar & stress... And then the response to that damage to try & heal the artery is when you get these deposits & cholesterol is there. Cholesterol is not the driver, it just happens to be at the scene of the crime. Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease. Not a cholesterol disease or a statin deficiency. LDL is an important transport molecule involved in the immune system & contains vital heart nutrients like CoQ10, Vitamin E & antioxidants. True Causes of Inflammation & Atherosclerosis: Industrial Seed Oils Processed Sugar Carbohydrates Insulin Resistance Ultra Processed Foods Smoking Obesity Environmental Toxins Poor Sleep Low Vitamin D Levels Magnesium Deficiency K2 Deficiency Lack of Exercise Stress A low carbohydrate diet prioritizing nutrient dense animal foods, eliminating harmful seed oils & sugar, provides the best healthy cholesterol profile. This approach keeps Triglycerides low & HDL high, which is one of the best biomarkers for heart health. TG/HDL ratio optimally should be less than 2.0 & even better at 1.5 or less. 👇Low Cholesterol Increases Mortality👇 👇The Higher Your LDL, The Longer You Live👇 Speakers: Dr Aseem Malhotra & Gary Brecka

According to Dr. Aseem Malhotra, lowering your LDL cholesterol "doesn't have any benefit and is probably harmful". "But there was a massive push by Big Pharma... to get people on more cholesterol-lowering drugs... and in my view, is going to do no benefit to them whatsoever." "When patients come to me, I tell them: Lowering your cholesterol—your LDL cholesterol—is absolutely not part of my management plan, because the data tells us that it doesn't have any benefit and is probably harmful." "Unless LDL levels are very high, over 300... they have no value in isolation in predicting those individuals are going to get heart disease." Credit: Dr Aseem Malhotra Health Optimisation Summit

Why do some people with crazy high LDL-C and ApoB develop no plaque in their arteries, while others – including those with far lower LDL and lower ApoB – do develop plaque? 🫀- featuring Thomas Dayspring So, let’s tackle one possible explanation centered around the following term: “Transcytosis.” ✋Quick Definition & Analogy Transcytosis is the process whereby a cell – in this case, the endothelial cells lining your arteries – sucks up something from outside (here, an LDL particle containing cholesterol), passes that something through its interior, and then out the other side. By way of analogy, think of your artery wall like an exclusive nightclub. Some particles get waved in VIP-style. Others get stuck outside. But what if LDL wasn’t just passively slipping through a hole in the wall, but was actually being escorted through by a bouncer? That is - more or less - transcytosis. #LDL #ApoB #heartdisease #cholesterol #LEM #LMHR #HDL #hearthealth #insulinresistance #metabolichealth #cholesterolcode #staycurious Dave Feldman Adrian Soto-Mota LipoFan Austin Dudzinski, PharmD, BCACP

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?

"The Longest Lived People Had High Cholesterol Levels...And Yet We Live In A World That Hates Cholesterol!" Dr Ben Bikman, PhD "Cholesterol Is A Molecule Of Life & Mitochondria. We Need LDL, It Actually Helps The Body Fight Infections." "LDL Is Also An Unsung Hero Of Immunity." "We Have Chosen Markers In Modern Medicine That We Have Well Designed Drugs, So It's A Really Really Good Way To Sell A Lot Of Drugs." Research has confirmed over & over that the higher your LDL the longer you live. LDL is a transport molecule for cholesterol & a vital immune system regulator. Lowering LDL thru statin drugs has deadly & deleterious effects. For example, It has been documented that when LDL drops below 70 mg/dL, hemorrhagic strokes (brain bleeds) increase almost 3 fold. When total cholesterol is chemically lowered below 180 mg/dL the rate of cancer & dementia increases drastically. And when total cholesterol stays below 150, chronic illnesses like cancer & autoimmune diseases occur & cannot be healed nor put into remission. Without Abundant Cholesterol Our Bodies Cannot Make: Testosterone Aldosterone Cortisol DHT Dihydrotestosterone DHEA Dehydroepiandrosterone Estradiol Estriol Estrone Progesterone Vitamin D LDL, HDL & Cholesterol Are Essential For Life: Protects against chemicals, toxins & heavy metals. Prevents dementia & cognitive decline. Protects against all cause mortality. Production of all steroid hormones. Bone density & Osteoporosis prevention. Protective against stroke & heart disease. Important for lungs & airways. Building block of all cells & mitochondria. Absorption of Vitamins A, D, E & K. Critical for digestion & bile acids. Immune system protection against infections. Protection against bacteria, pathogens & viruses. Lowers risk of cancer & death. Lowers risk of depression & suicide. Lowers stress, cortisol & anxiety. For Vibrant Metabolic & Mitochondrial Health: A low carbohydrate diet prioritizing nutrient dense animal foods, eliminating harmful seed oils, sugar & processed foods provides the best healthy cholesterol profile. This approach keeps Triglycerides low & HDL high, which is one of the best Biomarkers for Cardiovascular health. TG/HDL ratio optimally should be 1.5 or less. 👇The Higher Your LDL, The Longer You Live👇 👇Low Cholesterol Causes Heart Disease & Cancer👇 👇Low LDL Causes 3X Hemorrhagic Strokes👇 Speaker: Benjamin Bikman Podcast: DiaryOfaCEO Video: CarnivoreJT
