Do Oreos Lower Cholesterol? No.

[@DonaldAMisc]

I like the matter-of-fact title. 😂

[@trevinbeattie4888]

Boy, I’m glad I watch this channel instead of reading sensasionalist “news” sources. It highlights the importants of media literacy.

[@Praisethesunson]

Well there goes my plan to incorporate Oreos™ into a healthy "balanced" diet.

[@thestrangejames]

Isn't there an Oreo "cereal"? Part of a complete breakfast, no doubt.

[@shakeyj4523]

I heard nothing but OREO!!!!!

[@phantomstrider]

I suspect Americans just wanted to eat more oreos 😄

[@TimesRyan]

If you haven't already... a video on the consumption of cholesterol vs measured cholesterol in the body would be great! What you said is news to be and all of my doctors still preach push exactly what you said is no longer largely believed. What things can we be doing to lower cholesterol? Hope you see this as I would be very interested in your knowledge, Dr. Carroll!

"Do Oreos Lower Cholesterol? No." Counterpoint: Don't care. NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM!!!

[@jindesu]

Isn't a ketogenic diet with added carbs just... a standard diet then?

[@Fists91]

That was kinda the idea, to show that the presence of carbs alone was enough to completely tank the popular biomarker for heart attack risk in this individual's diet/physiology and to contrast that to a statin which had a much more modest effect, no obfuscation by the possible other effects of adding wholegrains or beans etc. or reducing intake of any other nutrient. Any simple carb source would have worked but oreos already have that air of mystery that makes them a good hook for the rumor mill. What they're trying to do is spur research interest/funding to look into lipid transport models and metabolism in a subset of keto diet users who present with very high LDL levels.

[@jindesu]

Thanks for the context on the simple carbs being specifically used in the study!

[@drj-pp8hw]

Not exactly. The test subject used a drug that keeps the body in a ketogenic state.

[@jindesu]

@@drj-pp8hw Ok that makes way more sense, I know that ketosis is pretty strict to maintain with carb intake.

[@Fists91]

@@drj-pp8hw They supplemented ketone bodies to control for their presence affecting metabolism, they didn't use anything pharmacological to stimulate the production of ketone bodies or modify the response to carbs

Oreos, while I do enjoy them, taste like crisco, sugar, and vanilla shoved in between two pseudo-chocolate cookies. sounds healthy to me!

[@smalltime0]

Go with the original Hydrox

[@plumokin5535]

Love the bad food bible! I used a plastic fork as a bookmark for more flair! Lol

[@healthcaretriage]

Love that 😂

[@olivier.st-amand]

Follow-up question: if cholesterol in our food isn't important to measure, are there other foods the people with high LDL cholesterol in their blood should avoid? Thanks!

[@rachelb751]

It has gone back and forth a little but saturated fat is a possible contributor. However, maybe instead of reducing your saturated fat intake adding things to lower cholesterol might be more doable. Adding insoluble fiber (oatmeal and beans), healthy oils such as avocado, canola, and olive oil, adding more fruits and veggies to your diet, eating more whole grains ect.

I'm going to take a wild guess at who funded The Oreo Cookie Treatment study..

[@californiumblog]

As many eggs as I eat, 19,000 gets me through maybe October 😅

[@paineoftheworld]

Soooooo, Double Stuff Oreos are protective?

[@d_e_a_n]

Could someone explain how last sentence: how did the USDA come around when it comes to cholesterol?

[@smalltime0]

Dietary health advice I presume.

[@katiem.3109]

“Previously, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommended that cholesterol intake be limited to no more than 300 mg/day. The 2015 DGAC will not bring forward this recommendation because available evidence shows no appreciable relationship between consumption of dietary cholesterol and serum (blood) cholesterol, consistent with the AHA/ACC (American Heart Association / American College of Cardiology) report. Cholesterol is not a nutrient of concern for overconsumption.” (Quote from the Scientific Report of the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee).

[@egancurry]

Good to know

[@scriptorpaulina]

But what if they did

[@DaveSomething]

how about an oreo made with bacon grease and sugar?

[@robotron17]

Cholesterol is the precursor to all your hormones, and the body produces it as-needed. You don't want to lower it with drugs. You want to know WHY it's high ... thyroid dysfunction, for example.

[@marcvincent7317]

Oreo is definitely good for my mental health! not sure about everything else loool

[@d_e_a_n]

The guy who studies lean mass hyper responders (LMHR’s) and used Oreo cookies said that banana or potatoes would have worked but he wanted to grab attention.

Just terrible clickbait. You can’t have the answer in the headline!

Thank you healthcare triage! You are a lifesaver!

i knew it! that kito diet will massively lower your cholesterol. :D

Do Oreos Lower Cholesterol? Yes. And for a good reason.

[@citizen3000]

Is this episode sponsored by Oreos?

[@markotrieste]

Would you mind at least watch the whole video before commenting? Not to say even go to the original source...

[@TimesRyan]

It would be strange if it was, as it states even in the title that it doesn't lower cholesterol.
