While not a household name, Dinosaur, Jr. has been around for decades, and Jason Isbell - who was on tour and just sat in for this gig - just won his 5th and 6th Grammy awards, after having played with Drive-by Truckers. If you enjoy Americana, you should look him up. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur_Jr. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Isbell

Mickey was 2 years ahead of me, too, at JFK. A nice guy, too, with unfortunately a sad post-hs career. Sure could shoot! I wish there was more footage. Hard to believe that there isn't, but... Heywood Hale Broun once came and profiled him, and it was shown nationally on the evening news (from my memory). I was in the gym at the time. How that isn't available is hard to believe. But then, that wasn't full game footage, it was a profile and during a practice. Maybe shot some at a game, too, though.

Isn't the older gentleman shown in the video his coach (his father)?

@@bethchaja9761 Yes that is his Dad and coach

Because it was a good overview of the topic. Many aren't willing (or able) to follow Peter's current presentations. He goes far into the weeds. Now, he's gotten "better" lately, and is starting to simplify his presentations. And by and large, on the most important points here, he still would agree with (to my knowledge).

Which points have been over taken?

It’s pointless to summarize them. The person that posted this misleading video just deletes comments like that.

If you listen to his current podcast, that observation DEFINITELY tracks! Fortunately, he will occasionally do a quasi-Cliffs Notes version. But yeah, he often gets too much into the weeds for me, but I didn't think that this lecture was a "bad" as some of his current stuff. It's amazing how many people DO keep up with the minutiae and understand it all, but there is a population that does (see a comment in this thread from someone calling Attia and others professional smoke sellers). Personally, I need people like Attia - another is cardiologist Anthony Pearson aka The Skeptical Cardiologist (podcast) - and others to read and explain the research, even if Attia doesn't always simplify it enough. One advantage of them is they can also vet the research, to help determine the validity of the research.

For a reply by Dr. Attia, you should go to his site/channel; I merely shared this old, good presentation of his: www.youtube.com/@PeterAttiaMD. And studies indicate that fruit intake may actually reduce triglyceride levels: www.acc.org/latest-in-cardiology/journal-scans/2018/10/11/16/16/relationship-between-intake-of-fruit-separately

Another danfgerous quack who misrepresents the evidence.

@Bob - Thanks for the link to Bart Kay. Although I wondered about the plant phytosterol claim, most of the rest of this video from Attia seems to be fairly accurate. His explanation and graphics about how the body's cholesterol system works and self-regulates is good. Plus, back when this video originated in 2012 he seemed to be very critical of the view that cholesterol is the overwhelmingly primary source of CVD. Back then he was on a full keto diet. I think he went off keto in the last couple of years and has adopted a more favorable view of statin intervention since then.

@Bob - I took a look at Bart Kay. Not for me. In my mind, he comes across as pompous, arrogant, and self-aggrandizing. He clearly has a conflict of interest between the statements he makes and the products he promotes. He also seems to have a misplaced sense of perfection, ignoring his own mistakes while picking even the smallest mistakes by other people as being sufficient to completely discredit them. And where others at least cite scientific evidence for their beliefs, although perhaps based on a misinterpretation of the evidence, Kay seems to avoid mentioning scientific evidence, expecting his audience to accept his statements as fact simply because he made them. In terms of understanding the functioning and problems associated with the misfunctioning of the body's cholesterol management system, Ivor Cummins seems much more accurate and much better informed than Kay, Attia, Berg, or any of the others. But he is only trying to present accurate information about what is happening and the risks associated with various options. He isn't recommending either a product or a service to generate extra income for himself. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKbNZ6GueKl1kJI

@@bobsdavenport As @worldcitizenra pointed out, Bart Kay has a bias (vengeance?) against Attia, and in addition to what he noted, Kay outright mis-states what Attia said in this video, claiming that Attia referred to "good" and "bad" cholesterol. And if you watch Kay's video, while he plays SOME sections of Attia's talk, for "some reason" doesn't play the section where Attia supposedly makes that claim. Attia expressly said that there is NO such thing as good or bad cholesterol. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYjLoKhpg7Wkm8U

And why do you think that is?

I wish I knew. Maybe more evidence of a sick care system rather than a health care system.@@t81629
