It even goes back further than the 1970's. In the 1940's the Procter and Gamble company donated millions to the American heart association to say animal fats were bad and that people should start frying in their Crisco trans fats. The women at the time were frying in what we now know was healthy fats such as pig lard and butter, and were resistant to buy the Crisco shortening. Big food also discovered that the partially hydrogenated oil was a preservative, and started putting it in food to make their shelf life longer. Before partially hydrogenated oil was invented in 1911, women cooked with animal fats and heart disease didn't exist. When they invented partially hydrogenated oil, they invented heart disease.

[@Sam_Saraguy]

Outstanding presentation. I'll be watching that a few times until it really sinks in. The most important message for me was that high LDL is only dangerous in the presence of high insulin (insulin resistance). When insulin is high, Apo B100 on the surface of LDL is glycosylated and no longer recognized by the liver for clearance from the bloodstream. When insulin is low, Apo B100 remains unglycosylated and the LDL where it resides is cleared from the bloodstream by the liver. That's a really important concept to get your arms around. If the liver can't clear the LDL from the bloodstream, it gets entangled with macrophages in blood vessel walls and begins to cause arteriosclerosis.

[@titiung]

This is undoubtedly the best comment on earth.

[@saudulhassan]

EXACTLY! This is why people with VERY low LDL also end up having cardio vas diseases as they don't change diet and continue to take a high glucose diet which glycosylates LDL surface and finally it gets entangled with macrophages. This is the same reason why STATINS DON'T WORK, as they only lower cholesterol COUNT and doesn't target the root cause!

[@AndrewS-wj8be]

Love it. I always knew the innate immune response was a large cause of disease in the body.

Can the people responsible for the upside-down food guidelines be punished for the massive suffering and death they've profited from?

[@Jefferdaughter]

Many of them, like Ancel Keys, who was perhaps the most responsible for the upside-down dietary recommendations, are dead. Governments and corporations tend to protect individuals from the consequences of their actions. Then again... the first significant damages from Monsanto* were awarded in court for exposure to glyphosate... Around $285 million in exchange for lethal cancer, if memory serves. It remains to be seen if the cancer patient actually collects, or if this goes like the Valdez, where Exxon spent as much or more than the awarded amount to stall having to pay. Like the tobacco industry, it was revealed that Monsant knew that RoundUp herbicide caused cancer, and other health issues, while it was claiming it's best selling product was safe. Years ago, Monsanto even said it was suitable for organic farming and gardening!! Now glyphosate is found in most foods, breast milk, even RAIN! And the so-called 'inert ingredients' in Round Up may be more toxic than the glyphosate. *In violation of our laws intended to prevent any one company/corporation from becoming too large and powerful, Monsanto was recently allowed to be aqcuired by/merge with Bayer. This makes it a multi-national corporation. Monsanto already conducted itself as though it was above the law; but multi-national corporations are loyal to which nation? Oh, and Bayer (under a former name) was one of the companies that profited from the slave labor provided by the concentration camps of WWII.

[@larsborghardt]

[@Jefferdaughter]

There is an old saying, 'Follow the money.' Please see the article on www.Mercola.com about the INCORRECT information against coconut oil. One of the problems with the info is that they are saying coconut oil is bad because it contains saturated fats, and the American Heart Assoc* and thereby the gov't officials (under pressure from and/or revolving between jobs in industry that profits from selling seed ('vegetable') oils) have refused to look at the real research that shows humans are healthier on real fats from animals, and coconuts. (They rail against saturated fat, but fail to acknowledge that animal fats also contain unsaturated fat, and margarine contains some saturated fat! Folks, this is not about science!) Another issue is that the tiny bit of research they chose to pay attention to was done with hydrogenated coconut oil- even though the officials finally got around to acknowledging that hydrogenated oils are harmful. *A tiny little groups of doctors before Proctor & Gamble gave them millions to demonize animal fats, so they could offer their Crisco as a supposedly 'healthier' alternative. Originally made from cottonseed oil, it was partially hydrogenated to make it solid for use in candle and soap making. Once the light bulb was invented, they needed a new market - so they began marketing the candle and soap ingredient as a lard substitute. Seed oils, cleverly but deceptively marketed as 'vegetable', were originally used as machine lubricants. Rudolf Diesel designed his engine to run on peanut oil (not actually a nut, but a legume).

[@Jefferdaughter]

26:37 - On the graph comparing the composition of common sources of fat, note that the percentage of Omega 3 shown as the average in butter is for industrial-style dairy farms where cows have little or no access to pasture, and are feed diets high in grains and seeds (especially soy). The Omega 3 content of the milk of certified organic 100% 'grassfed' dairy - no grain ever - was compared to the Omega 3 content of milk from certified organic dairies in the area that also fed grain & soy. along with pasture access during the growing season. The Omega 3 content of the regular organic milk was significantly higher than what was found in the milk of cows from 'conventional' industrial-style farms. The Omega 3 content of the 100% grassfed milk from cows on an all-forage diet was 7 TIMES higher. Lard, like beef tallow, from hogs fed rations high in grains and other seeds will similarly have higher Omega 6 levels and lower Omega 3 levels than lard, and pork, from swine fed a more natural and varied diet. 50+ years ago, a lot of pork was still being produced on the land, foraging in marginal areas, being moved to grain fields after harvest to clean up the dropped grain, and fed vegetables and fruits that were not in good enough condition to be sold for human food. Milk, skim milk, and whey, where available, was fed to growing and 'finishing' pigs, too. Some let the pigs harvest peanut fields themselves. (Some people still find peanuts suitable only to fuel diesel engines and/or as hog feed.)

[@emustaro]

Very good comments - I might actually consider eating a french fry once a year if it were to be cooked in organic tallow/lard. Until then, never. Do you know, when Dr. Mason was talking about emulsifiers, if dairy that is not labeled "raw" is considered highly processed and/or with emulsifiers? Luckily we can buy organic raw again in my area, albeit at a high cost, but worth it.

[@asarcadyn2414]

Great information but not much use in the supermarket as omega 6:omega 3 ratios can’t be seen or worked out on a packet of butter or lard. Don’t be fooled by ‘organic’ either. That just means the grain used to fatten the animal was organic. You need to do a lot of research to find 100% grass-fed animal products.

Boil it all down - if your triglycerides are high (caused by consumption of sugars - grains, breads, cereals, fruit, starches, sugar, pasta, sodas, etc.) and/or your HDL is low, you are at higher risk for atherosclerosis, heart attack, stroke and more. Goal: Forget statins. Instead, lower your triglycerides toward 60, raise your HDL toward 60, thus lowering your trigs/HDL ratio into 1.0-1.5x range. To accomplish that (strategy) avoid all seed oils, grains, breads, cereals, fruit, starches, sugar, pasta, sodas, etc. Thus, you'll be eating no processed foods, only real foods like meats, fish, eggs, greens, cheeses, butter, olive oil - you know, the stuff your great-grandparents ate into their 90s....

This alone accounts for more than 200 days of fasting in a year. Also, meat was expensive and hence not consumed daily up to 40-50 years ago. Most people were eating meat once-twice a week and the rest vegetables, legumes, whole grains and dairy products.

We are very fortunate in the British Isles that most of our cattle are raised on pasture in the traditional way. The climate and terrain is very well-suited for it since most of England is just fields and grassy hills, so during the warmer months cattle spend nearly all of their time eating grass, as do sheep. In winter, the cows generally don't prefer to be outside, so they often eat silage (preserved green vegetation, you often see the bales of it in plastic bags in fields) or some other feed (could be corn since it's cheap). This means in the summer months UK or Irish beef is pretty much guaranteed to be grass fed. In winter it might not technically be "finished" on grass, although it will have spent a lot of its life eating grass. In the US and South America the cattle ranches are generally cleared land and then they are fed on corn (often mixed with hormones and antibiotics). I personally would never eat beef from America unless it explicitly said it was grass fed.

I have been bone on bone in right knee for over 10 years, and now do not need painkillers to sleep or go about my daily activities like yoga, etc. If I violate the food guidelines, like eat two slices of pizza, or 3 pieces of sugary fruit, then in about 5 hours it feels like somebody is picking at the bone on bone spot with tweezers, inside my knee, and also the pain level goes up to about a 5 from less than a 1. I do also take many supplements, and the one that helps the most is UCII. But no supplement will prevent the impact of eating high glycemic foods. My suspicion is that this applies to many other people, but they do not realize that the foods they are eating are the direct cause of so much pain. Marcel Karperien, of the Netherlands, is leading a group that has a hydrogel that is testing well in horses to replace the cartilage: "The product, which consists of a hydrogel, is almost ready for human use. Since last year, it has extensively been tested on horses, because the intervention by means of keyhole surgery on these animals hardly differs from the intervention on humans. Furthermore, the gel will also be used in veterinary medicine for the treatment of osteoarthritis in pets.Karperien says that the results from these animal studies are so promising that testing on humans may start as early as the second half of 2018." There may be updates on the progress more recent than the 2017 publication I came across (www.utoday.nl/science/64144/the-cure-for-osteoarthritis)

I think your interpretation of the mortality chart vs LDL pattern is not correct unless the chart y axis title is incorrect

[@davidthoreau6353]

He was definitely wrong there, but if you look at the specific study, you would see it wouldn't matter anyway. There were big distribution differences (more pattern A individuals), different age groups, and people on stations and other cholesterol lowering drugs. Couple that with the fact that this is a group of people who just had a heart attack, it likely makes it less applicable to heathy people. The difference in CV death was 1 out of 100 vs 2.4 out of 100 people... I would hate to be that 1.4th person, but the difference in risk is pretty small and may be caused by something else.

[@christopherturner1547]

I spotted that as well. It is clear from the downward slope that this must be a survival axis. So pattern A was the worst, tbe opposite of what Paul was saying. Maybe he mislabelled the A and B lines. Maybe ldl patterns A and B are not standardisef.

[@mesterferenc2688]

Obviously, mortality for B is not "90 %". B pattern has the lowest mortality. The study says: " Compared with LDL pattern A, pattern B was significantly associated with reduced all-cause and non-CV mortalities with a trend for lower CV mortality."

@@christopherturner1547 Something doesn’t add up. The paper is saying the results show that people with damaged ldl particles live longer than people with no damaged ldl particles.

Dr Mason, could you explain this: at 11:00 diagram shows that 5-year _survival_ rate was only 75% for pattern A LDL cholesterol, and 88% for pattern B LDL (please note "Survival %" at vertical axis). I found the original paper ("Association of low-density lipoprotein pattern with mortality after myocardial infarction: Insights from the TRIUMPH study", Yashashwi Pokharel et al.) and it says "Pattern B was independently associated with lower risk for all-cause death than A". You seem to state the opposite. Could you please comment?

You're absolutely right on that. Whatever he stated regarding pattern A/pattern B did not make any sense.

[@juhotuho10]

Either he's just wrong or I'm crazy and don't understand what I'm reading.

[@petros-petra]

Exactly! I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed. Also: 12:16 "If we assume that Pattern B is bad, which the data clearly suggests it is" The data suggests that both Pattern A and Pattern B are bad, if 12-25% of the participants died after 5 years. And Pattern A seems twice as bad as Pattern B to me. This would make the statement at 12:40 "High LDL cholesterol, but safe" even worse. Please tell me that I have a lapse of judgement, otherwise I am honestly questioning his credibility and ability as a doctor.

[@MurksvomGurk]

I checked the study abstract, it cleary says the opposite of what Dr. Mason lectures here, A and B are NOT swapped. However it also says "..after adjusting for important patient and treatment characteristics. We additionally adjusted for LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglyceride levels and used directly measured LDL-C and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol as exposures..." (they observed of 2476 patients). The adjustments are not explained so I guess we can't tell if this study indicates anything at all. 🤷‍♂

[@Andre-yg8xx]

I thoroughly enjoyed that presentation.

[@wassilykandinsky4616]

I think Dr. Mason's interpretation of the survival diagram in the cited paper at 10:22 is totally wrong: the y-axis is labeled with % survival (not mortality, as Dr. Mason says). The x-axis is the time after myocardial infarction in months. Dr. Mason: "After 5 years most people had died." ?????, that's not what this diagram says. In fact, it says that ca. 88% of the patients with pattern B and 75% with pattern A had survived. The authors of the cited paper write in their conclusion: "Compared with LDL pattern A, pattern B was significantly associated with reduced all-cause and non-CV mortalities with a trend for lower CV mortality after MI, independent of LDL-C and triglycerides." So their "pattern B" is the healthier one, which is consistent with the diagram. The authors have another publication (Circulation. 2018;134: A19135) with the title: "Small, Dense LDL Has Protective Association for Long-Term Mortality After Myocardial Infarction Compared With Large, Buoyant LDL Particles: Insights From the TRIUMPH Study". They write in their conclusion: "Contrary to our hypothesis, patients with small, dense LDL have lower long-term mortality after MI than those with large, buoyant LDL particles, irrespective of treatment. Future research is needed to understand this paradoxical finding." So my conclusion is: Beware of the confirmation bias!!! (I'm prone to it myself.)

[@joseftraunmueller3844]

Thanks for pointing this out.

[@Jefferdaughter]

Thanks for your comment. One note: The Conclusion the authors write does not always match the data they include in the rest of the paper. Sometimes they will state, as in the example you provided, that 'the results were not as expected', and then some version of more study is needed... or there must have been some confounding factor they were unaware of... or the results were skewed because of a small sample size... or the like. However, I have seen several conclusions that made me wonder if the authors had read their own paper. Since many will see only the abstract of many research papers, and the conclusion is generally included in the abstract, many people will get a very different impression of what the results of the study actually were than the conclusion those readers may have reached if they read the entire paper and looked at the data for themselves. Aside from confirmation bias...

Regardless of that study, "According to the current consensus, 2 main phenotypes, A and B, are defined based on plasma LDL profile, with intermediate A/B phenotype lying in between [11]. The phenotype A is characterized by the predominance of large buoyant LDL (lbLDL) and the phenotype B by the predominance of sdLDL [12, 13]. Phenotype B was reported in a number of diseases, including metabolic disorders [14, 15], obesity [16, 17], and type 2 diabetes [18, 19] and is considered as a risk factor of coronary heart disease (CHD). Moreover, this phenotype was associated with the elevated plasma triglyceride (TG) level, reduced HDL cholesterol (HDL-C), and high-hepatic lipase activity [20].

My understanding is that unsaturated double bonds in fats are oxidized, causing free radical formation, which damage mitochondria. The higher the number of unsaturated double bonds, the higher the number of free radicals, and the more mitochondrial damage induced disease. If enough mitochondrial damage occurs, the cell dies. If enough cells die, the organism dies. Therefore, oxidative stress causes disease and death.

It is of course possible that LDL has no causative impact on CHD at all but that, with an increase of glycated LDLs and so fewer working LDLS in the bloodstream, the body is no longer able to repair tissues to the same level of efficiency. Going further, Dr. M Kendrick argues that the cholesterol found in the arterial walls is delivered via red blood cells, not LDLs at all.

[@destroya3303]

Did you control for types of carbs (insulin spiking vs non-insulin spiking)? Carbs have always been part of the America diet before heart disease was a major problem. Stands to reason we don't need to be low carb to avoid glycation

[@ekondigg6751]

I agree wholeheartedly on the need to get the omega 6 and 3 ratio balanced, especially by cutting the vegetable oils and increasing oily fish consumption. But I have a question on the slide at 23:11 where we see the conversion of alpha linoleic acid to EPA and DHA. In all the literature I've read, the consensus is that the human body is very inefficient in doing the conversion or even, according to some, totally unable to do the conversion. Which means we absolutely have to consume EPA and DHA since any amount that the body is actually able to produce is far too low to be useful. Am I missing something here?

[@Jefferdaughter]

Great question. That is what I have read also, and have heard other physicians say in presentations. This means we have to get DHA and EPA from animal sources. Yet the proponents of 'plant based' diets always tell us that we can get all the Omega 3s we need from plants. In addition to fish oil, 100% grassfed meats (beef, lamb) and milk may be better sources than we think. The numbers cited in research are always from conventionally raised meat, milk, and butter. Organic milk (though some industrial 'organic' dairies cheat) there is a requirement in USDA organic standards that the cows get at least a certain percentage of their diet from pasture during the growing season. It is not surprising that, like the meat, the Omega 3 content of organic milk is much higher than 'conventional' milk. The milk of a local farm that feeds its cows only pasture and hay - 100% 'grassfed' was tested- and found to have 7 X more Omega 3 than the milk from organic farms in the area that also fed grain and soy. It may also help that the grassfed farm has only Jersey cows, and their milk averages around 5% butterfat. 'Whole' milk in supermarkets is standardized to 3.25% butterfat. Holstein (the black and white dairy cows) herds in the area average around 3.5 to 3.8% butterfat. That percentage goes up on a forage-based diet (pasture, hay, etc) and down with increased feeding of grain/soybeans. The efficiency of the digestion of forages - pastures, dried pasture aka hay, and even fermented pasture plants - drops when cattle, and other ruminants like sheep, goats, etc, are fed grain - since it takes a different set of microbes to digest grains and soybeans than it does to digest pasture plants.

[@andreafalconiero9089]

No, you're absolutely right. Conversion of ALA to DHA is highly variable due to sex, genetics and environmental factors, and no individual has any idea how well they are able to perform this conversion. For males, the conversion rates are very low, somewhere between 0-4%, typically about 1%. For women, conversion rates are higher on average, but still highly variable, perhaps about 5-9% for adolescent females, and lower than that, typically for adult women. This is not at all a reliable way of obtaining adequate amounts of DHA for _anyone._
