David Diamond, Ph.D.: Assessing the Myth that Elevated Cholesterol Causes Cardiovascular Disease

[@KenDBerryMD]

Excellent presentation! The cholesterol hypothesis of heart disease is DEAD

[@Coneman3]

I admire you and David. You are both men of rare integrity and intelligence, and thank you for pushing to get the truth out there.

[@suprememasteroftheuniverse]

Ken Berry is a fake supplement pusher. Integrity? 🥳👏🏻🤡

[@douglasmontgomery6315]

Dr. Diamond, WOW.... one of the best presentations of relative vs absolute risk and why marketing departments make the big bucks. Thank you so much

[@marcierenee15]

Has he written a book? He needs to. Excellent teacher.

[@tomasto3919]

This is good science from a good person.

[@707947]

magnificent discussion... Awesome. Thank you very much sir

[@PennyBluebottle]

This man is my hero!

[@jamesstevenson6086]

Brilliant presentation

[@LJK77777]

WELL WELL DONE. BEST CLEAREST OVERALL SUMMARY OF A SHAMEFUL CHAPTER IN AMERICAN "MAL-NUTRITION" SCIENCE. No wonder average person is confused with mixed messaging. Unfortunately here, as with politics, follow the $$$$!!!

[@maryt5902]

Tired of the all lies and decades misinformation from this health paradox. Finally some true data, thank you for your courageous and honest findings. Hope there is a strong campaign to change the WHO health promotion that is misleading & killing lives

[@Coneman3]

US establishment is so corrupt and incompetent it’s a complete joke.

Am an healthy 31 year old guy. 2 years ago my cholesterol was 5.1 and 6 month ago it was measured again, this time 8.1. My doctor put me on statins, I'm reluctantly taking them. It may be placebo but I feel much more sore after workouts, other than that no adverse effects. Even though I find the above evidence in the video very sound and the guy very educated and trustworthy. I still feel so brainwashed by the Danish/international/AHA/WHO recommendations... Whatever I do I'm so concerned I will ruin my health. I guess I should look more into this, I can't believe the level of misinformation regarding this topic.

[@teresagerlach4185]

It also lowers testosterone. Your sex hormones come from your CHOLESTEROL. You're shooting yourself in the foot. (or somewhere else :) )

[@Krunch2020]

Maybe you have a statin deficiency. 😂

[@jobrown8146]

Statins deplete coenzyme Q10. Dr Ken Berry has a video about this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKrIpIx7pp6So7c

[@mrmeach1967]

30:56 Cholestyramine (a bile sequestering agent) employs a different mechanism of action for lowering cholesterol than what is used by a statin (an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor). According to this study, cholestyramine has NO EFFECT on all-cause mortality, even though it does minimally reduce the incidence of CHD and MI. Statins, on the other hand, INCREASE all-cause mortality, which goes a long way to explain why their supporting studies are clipped at less than two years to hide this. This is arguably where the NIH and FDA could step in to fund these clearly - and literally - unprofitable long-term studies.

[@mrmeach1967]

34:56 If you want to reflect the treated group’s CHD improvement over the placebo group's, the division should be 0.4/2.0 = 20%, not 0.4/1.6 = 24%. This is an error within the study, not Diamond’s. 24% is slightly more impressive than 20%, so it's evident why they would not be in a hurry to correct it. Diamond is just explaining how THEY arrived at this number. Diamond performs this computation correctly elsewhere in this presentation (see at 39:04 and 42:47).

[@JohnWatsonFlatEarth]

prosecutions should be brought against those that perpetrated, and profited from these medical frauds

[@mrmeach1967]

I am late to the party, but my focus only recently shifted into this direction again - had a heart attack at 39, doing CrossFit 4-5x a week for years and was diagnosed with FH. Where do I find more information on the mentioned correlation between FH and high coagulation factors I can show to my cardiologist? Thank you!

[@bobtosi9346]

Glad to hear your doing better. Look up Dr Jason Fung, Dr Paul Saladino, the Carnivore Code. Low Carb USA. Hope this helps. Also look up Dave Feldmans work and cholesterolcode.com

[@pestthewarrior2915]

Where can we get his paper?

[@VSS1]

For transparency, I would wish when people reference studies they would state who funded the study.

[@haveaniceday7950]

I agree especially since he suggesting fraud in the science..

[@carollang6090]

Look it up for yourself. You obviously have access to the internet. There's so much info out there. Don't be lazy.

[@VSS1]

Carol Lang don't be stupid

[@marceloribeirosimoes8959]

It's shocking how almost all people on this planet turn to a "a war machine" from last 10 years. A couple of days ago I'd made a comment about a video and I was treated like a bandit guy on a far western USA city used to be on early 1800's... People now are used to WOUND other using words just like they see on movies other using fists and guns... Please, you will not prove to be a better person or even that you know or a better understand of all those subjects using violence. In fact, every single person that have a better understanding should be the one that can explain patiently for those that can not to perceive a different point of view, right? We are not competitors fighting against each other, right? I hope you start to think more before type and throw angry over other ones so you'll can see, from this point of view, that the results on your life will be much better...

[@VSS1]

Marcelo Ribeiro Simões I have no idea whose comments you are referencing.

[@sheilacollins9384]

We've been fighting ONE fish scientist since the 1950s. Unbelievable.

[@Marcinmd1]

Keto diets increase the risk of stroke. It's not becuase of increased cholesterol, it's because being in ketosis is a stressor. It can certaily help with certain disorders but you are also accepting a higher risk of stroke.

[@mshparber]

23:34 34:35 Unbelievable!

[@AnnaMishel]

We all know (in cleaning), fat solvent reduces fat grime. So, I suppose, it’s the same in the body, eating fat, eliminates/reduces body fat.

[@dukesmark9292]

I was suffering from cholesterol issues and got minor heart stroke for serval times. We consult to doctor and he prescribed Zetia also known as Ezetimibe from theonlinemedicine. Zetia(Ezetimibe) reduces bad cholesterol or LDL and also may prevent heart attacks, stroke, and death from cardiovascular-related causes.

[@kinpatu]

Sir Isaac Newton, not Isaac Asimov

[@bigbenhebdomadarius6252]

Interesting slip of the tongue. I wonder if Asimov was one of Diamond's professors.

[@AnnaMishel]

It’s just common sense . . FAT DISSOLVES FAT!

[@cathsrq]

Lipitor make me so sick

[@ellanola6284]

Cathy B. Please stay away from Lipitor, go on healthy Keto diet(quality meat,eggs,wild fish, organic veg). No need for stains. They cause sufferring & help nothing. Makes me so mad that people are pushed to take them.

[@cathsrq]

@@ellanola6284 thanks Ella. I did stop it and now started intermittent fasting

[@tubetime39]

@@ellanola6284 yes ! I got my blood work results a few days ago. Best ever !! I heard, I wondered, i believed it may be true,, I tried, and now I know. It worked for me. I am amazed at how good my numbers are. I am amazed I guess only because I was led to believe that it wasn't possible. Tri's 56, fifty six ! Lowest before 150-180 a Few Times, 250 to 350 usually. HDL 65 ! I was frustrated that I could get HDL over 40. Cholesterol 150 and at best, trying pretty hard it was 190's to 210. Previously much higher. A1C is good too (5 if I remember right, 5.3?) Glucose was 86. I am very happy but equally more upset at how we've been lied to.

[@tubetime39]

I worried about too much fat, eggs & butter cause I was eating so much and feared what I was told to fear. 3 to 4 eggs (pasture raised )almost daily, fried in grass fed butter ( tons, I like butter) along with ( grass fed ) red meat. Some fish ( fried in butter) and some chicken ( skin on ) I am 70 in 3 days. Last night at 50 yr reunion (covid, I wasn't 20 when I graduated, ha ) I had many, many compliments on how I looked. Some people mentioned it 2 & 3 times. Actually I am amazed on how much better I feel and look. Thanks to Dr Diamond and all this great people I have found on YT here !! My siblings (6) sadly, are doing terrible listening to the old false information and advice. Proof I wasn't blessed with some sort of great genes. Just new found great information & advice.

[@kiaranjay5153]

This is rather misleading and clearly biased if one was to read some of his references. Has he even read the papers he's talking about?

[@DavidKD2050]

16 Million people live in France, or so you think. Please please please, we want credibility, don't ruin it with such stupid statements.

[@dogphlap6749]

Population of France is 68 million to two significant figures.
