Why Oxidized LDL Causes Plaque, Not Cholesterol Alone LDL cholesterol isn’t inherently harmful; its function is to help repair damaged blood vessel walls. The real problem begins when LDL becomes small and oxidized, triggering inflammation that leads to plaque formation. Understanding this difference explains why inflammation and LDL quality...

If you survived your first heart attack, your goal is now to never face a second heart attack. Here's my tips on how to recover from the first and reduce your chances of another:

Let’s work on your own health. Time to lose 50lbs, and begin an exercise routine. If you want to influence others, then you need to start with you as an example of health. I would love for you to post your personal lipid values as well and what drugs you are taking to keep them in check.

Actually, I think the final nail in the coffin of cholesterol plaque is when the oxidised LDL attracts calcium. Relatively high levels of calcium in the blood occur when you have magnesium deficiency.

I wrote PhD work about lipids but I was never aware of this:,, LDL function is to help repair damaged blood vessel walls.” Please, can you give me reference?

Why High LDL Didn’t Increase Plaque Risk Data shows that years of elevated LDL did not lead to plaque progression as commonly expected. After long-term exposure, most participants saw stable plaque scores, with LDL and ApoB showing no link to plaque growth. Learn what actually predicted plaque changes and why baseline plaque matters more than cholesterol numbers alone. #LDLCholesterol #HeartHealth #PlaqueScore #MetabolicHealth #CardiologyResearch #CholesterolMyths

Dr. Pradip Jamnadas busts the cholesterol myth on Steven Bartlett's podcast: It's not total LDL or "bad cholesterol" that's the villain—it's small, dense, damaged LDL particles that drive heart disease. Key points: - Cholesterol is essential (your body makes it; cells need it to function—no cholesterol = no life). - LDL carries most cholesterol; HDL is "good" (recycles it). - Problem arises when LDL gets damaged (oxidized), becomes small & dense → triggers inflammation. -Macrophages gobble it up → foam cells → damage glycocalyx (artery lining) → activated endothelium → plaque buildup (atherosclerosis). Causes of small dense LDL? High glucose/sugar, excess omega-6 fats, advanced glycation end products (AGEs from processed foods), toxins, leaky gut (LPS from bacteria). He tests sub-fractionation (advanced lipid panel) to check particle size—not just total LDL. High total but mostly large/fluffy? Often low risk. Small/dense present? Points to inflammation—fix root causes (diet, gut health) instead of just statins for everyone. "Patients who can't tolerate or refuse statins? I focus on reducing small dense particles." Game-changing nuance for heart health prevention.

Why LDL Cholesterol Alone Misleads Heart Disease Risk LDL cholesterol numbers don’t tell the full story of heart disease risk. Small, dense LDL particles are more dangerous, and many patients on statins still develop heart disease despite lower LDL levels. This video explains how saturated fats and seed oils affect LDL particle size and why focusing on the wrong metric leads to poor outcomes.

REDUCE OXIDIZED LDL WITH THIS FAT! LDL cholesterol is not the enemy. Your liver produces it on purpose — to transport hormones, nutrients, and building blocks your body needs. The real problem is oxidized LDL, the damaged form that contributes to arterial plaque. And here’s what most people don’t know: Multiple human RCTs show that high-polyphenol, cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil can significantly reduce oxidized LDL — in some trials by up to 30%. It’s the polyphenols like hydroxytyrosol and oleuropein that protect LDL from oxidative damage and improve your lipid profile. So the goal isn’t to “eliminate LDL.” The goal is to prevent it from oxidizing. And one of the most powerful tools for that, backed by randomized controlled trials, is single-origin, high-polyphenol extra-virgin olive oil. Upgrade your oils, protect your LDL, protect your heart. #cholesterol #longevity #oliveoil

Dr. Jack Wolfson, Cardiologist: "THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS 'BAD' CHOLESTEROL!" LDL isn’t the villain they told you it is. Here’s the truth: • LDL is a delivery transport molecule. • Carries vital nutrients, vitamins, antioxidants & hormones to every cell. • Your brain is 25% cholesterol – LDL keeps you sharp. • Repairs damaged blood vessels & fights infections • Without enough LDL, testosterone, estrogen & cortisol crash. • LDL rises when your body is healing – that’s protective, not dangerous. • Humans ate cholesterol-rich foods for millions of years with ZERO heart disease. • The “LDL = death” myth only started in the 1970s. • LDL is the great repairer & transporter for healing. • Blaming LDL is like blaming firefighters for the fire. There is no “bad” cholesterol. There’s only a bad environment of inflammation in your arteries.

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.

Megyn Kelly’s doctor told her statins should be in the drinking water. Her hormones doctor said absolutely not. So she asked Dr. Paul Saladino for the truth. His take: Cholesterol is essential for brain and hormone health. The real issue isn’t your LDL number in isolation, it’s your overall metabolic health. Even “normal” cholesterol can hide risk if fasting insulin, thyroid, or A1C is off. A 2025 study from The Lundquist Institute (KETO-CTA trial) found that in metabolically healthy people, high LDL cholesterol showed no significant increase in plaque buildup or cardiovascular risk. Metabolic health appears to matter far more than LDL levels alone. What’s your take, are we over-fearing cholesterol and under-focusing on real metabolic health?

I'm not a doctor and neither is this man but hundreds of hours of personal research lead me to agree with most of his cholesterol panel dissection. Total cholesterol: Fairly useless. LDL is not the boogeyman (although glycated LDL can be a problem) Triglycerides divided by HDL is the best predictor of heart disease risk in a cholesterol panel.
