Here is another paper that will rattle the bones of the apoB (and hence LDL and cholesterol) deniers. Authors conclude the MR screen identified APOB & lipoproteins containing APOB as CAUSAL DETERMINANTS of healthspan, a finding that is concordant with recent observations…

Spencer is correct: I did four years of reduced carb (not ketogenic) with 5 days of severe fasting once a month (not especially fun) with 30 minutes of daily aerobics. I did it for 4 years. I pretty rapidly lost 70 pounds and maintained that loss during that period. After…

Thanks to Jacob J Christensen for alerting about this paper on a topic (sterols) I have written much about -Dietary Cholesterol (DC) consumption WAS NOT associated with incident diabetes & CVD, after adjusting for BMI, in the overall sample and in subgroups stratified by genetic…

Nothing new here - that type of discordance would suggest the presence of remnant LP - but why in the world was apoB not reported - was it not measured? Faulty study

For your healthspan hopefully all have checked their plasma DHA levels - and if low using DHA supplement - Higher DHA levels were associated with significant risk reductions in all-cause mortality, as well as reduced risks for deaths due to CV disease, cancer, and all other…

In all circumstances regarding diagnostics the patient has to be his own advocate and make demands of reluctant clinicians.

The alarming rise in CVD deaths in recent years reinforces the importance of our work. Our R&D efforts are dedicated to combatting this trend by helping more patients reach and maintain their LDL-C goals. bit.ly/49UPoJz

I keep reminding everyone that perhaps the most unbreakable record in sports is having someone beat Johnny Vander Meer's (the pride of Prospect Park, NJ - a Paterson Suburb) two consecutive no hitters in 1938. The second one was the first night game ever played in Ebbet's Field.
