@@stevet5549 Oh! I think you will predominantly find those that cherry pick data, are the ones in which their livelihoods depend upon the results. Dr Mason is not going to lose funding for whatever results he finds. Whilst he obviously only has a designated time frame in which to present his findings, so of course he will need to chose the studies he uses to convey his concepts carefully, I do not believe he is choosing those studies on the basis of bias. I have never seen any evidence that Dr Mason deserves his character maligned, and think it is careless of you to do so without some evidence. BTW Character assassination is a feminine personality trait, so not so common in males. I guess it is possible we will see more males adopt this form of attack, now we can converse on line, whereas historically, men would react physically to insults.

I went on the Atkins Low carb diet. 0 carbs for 2 weeks and then only 20 carbs a day max after that. I lost 80 pounds in 6 months and ate till I was full every day. My cholesterol went from 240 to 150 eating Stuff like eggs, bacon, sausage, cheese for breakfast and steaks, fish, chicken, and big salads with full fat dressings, and lots of green veggies with butter and salt. My doctor asked what I was doing to lose weight. I told him and he told me I was going to kill myself. I never felt better but took his advice and went off the diet. Within a year I gained the weight back. A year after that I went into the doctors office for a check up. Low and behold the doctor, who was also quite a bit overweight was thin and trim. I asked him what he did to lose the weight. He said he went on a low carb diet!!! I said the same diet you told me was going to kill me? He said yes, and that upon researching what I told him he admitted he did not know the full story of low carb diets! No wonder they call it a medical PRACTICE! They keep trying till they get it right!

Here is a ChatGPT summary: - This lecture is about the science which contradicts nearly everything Dr Paul Mason learnt about LDL in medical school. - The lipid hypothesis states that eating fat causes our LDL level to rise, which then blocks our arteries. - A systematic review found that individuals with the highest LDL levels lived the longest. - LDL is a complex structure called a lipoprotein made of fat, cholesterol and protein. - Dietary cholesterol and saturated fat do not increase LDL levels. - LDL particles can be damaged, leading to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. - Triglyceride levels and the ratio of triglycerides to HDL can be used to assess the probability of a lipid profile being artery clogging. - Higher LDL levels are on average associated with longevity, but not in every case. - Dairy can contribute to insulin resistance and B12 deficiency is causally associated with increased LDL. - Low vitamin B12 can lead to an increase in cholesterol synthesis. - The standard B12 reference interval does not reliably identify B12 deficiency. - Tumor necrosis factor alpha can cause overproduction of LDL, up to 8 times normal. - Elevated triglyceride levels can be caused by an underactive thyroid, kidney disease, diabetes, hemochromatosis, and certain drugs. - LDL is not the major cause of heart disease, but oxidised LDL can be a problem. - The triglyceride to HDL ratio is a reliable way of predicting oxidised LDL. - Very elevated LDL levels may be symptomatic of another issue.

Very compelling talk....only I'm not convinced that dairy can cause insulin resistance or that this condition can arise in a low carbohydrate context. The study referred in the talk is about obese subject most of whom glucose intolerants, and the diets fallowed were high carbohydrate diets. The dairy group was eating 230 g of carbohydrate a day along with the low-fat cheese, milk and yogurt, (and 250 kCal more than the control and dairy groups) whereas the meat group was consuming 180 g of carbohydrate a day … not so sure that one can put the blame on cheese
@giuseppebonatici71696 ай бұрын
I think so too. but there is a caveat. keto produces moderate insulin resistance over time. this makes sense as some organs needs the sugar, so some generate insulin resistance to only consume ketones as main fuel, and spare sugar consumption to organs that need it more (this, is for example, why in keto/carnivore you usually need to increase the consumption of salts the first months or so, as the blood does not have enough sugar to give to every tissue in the body AND produce corticosterone (the lack of can produce cachexia/wasting disease) ) the meaning of insulin resistance is strongly organ specific, makes talking in the generality of insulin resistance in blood (aka, how much of your organs are responsive and in need of sugar) not a clear indicator to anything in low-carb conditions as ketones change completely the apparent role of insulin (so called physiological insulin resistance). and so, even if dairy can induce insulin resistance in some way in low carb, there is no strong evidence to relate them to any of the discussed in the video, as all experimental data is extrapolating, essentially, from other metabolic framework.

Dr Mason, you might be interested in how my numbers have changed. Good news (and I am very surprised) is my CAC = 0, 65 years old female. I've been low carb for 1 year but about 6 months ago I started eating more eggs and dairy so 2 known variables. First number is the Oct 2022 test, bracketed number is Oct 2021 before starting low carb. Total Chol 8.7 (7.9), Trig 1.0 (3.0), HDL 1.7 (1.1), LDL 6.5 (5.4), HbA1c 5.2 (7.0), ALT 19 (45), GGT 19 (38, was 61 in 2015). Ultrasound (mention of fatty infiltration in 1999): liver fat was moderate in 2019 (probably got worse 2020/2021) and is now (just last month) mild. Weight: 64kg (80kg) only stretches and strengthening exercises. Waist: 38" (44"). I will be seeing a low carb doctor tomorrow so I will be interested to hear his comments. I would really like to get the LDL particle size test done out of curiosity.

Im 53 and NOT ONCE has any GP Ive ever had told me this was happening and that I was heading for a heart attack. I researched how I this happened to me and learned everything I could, then the solution was clear.. carnivore. In 6 months I went from 290lbs to 215lbs, triglycerides from 9 to 2, type 2 diabetes markers gone... NAFLD gone, liver enzymes back to normal... and a slew of other blood counts and symptoms fixed, just like that. So many things got better that I cant even remember them all right now. My GP saw all my counts and weight loss and he literally looked up at me and said "youre LDL is high, I want you on a statin".. talk about wearing blinders.. he literally ignored everything that I corrected and fixed (it should have stunned him) and was only obsessed with my LDL. Made me sick actually.. to know our doctors are so brainwashed they literally dont seem to be able to think for themselves.

What I AM doing is having a greater proportion of fermented dairy over raw milk. I make kefir, buttermilk and filmyolk, all simply brewed at home from the supermarket version as a starter. Very satisfying, nutritious, lower in lactose and increased vitamin K thanks to the bacteria. Refer to "Eat like a human" by Dr Bill Schindler.

I think we attempt to label large numbers of people, placing them in absolute categories, but we are all quite different and one size does not fit all. One has to ask, how did the scientists decide what level is good or bad? I used to practice pharmacy and was practicing when the first statin drug was introduced. At that time there was a lot of discussion regarding what level of cholesterol was considered "bad". An arbitrary number of 250 total emerged. Then in the span of a few years it was lowered to 200. The statin drug industry is worth billions.

Insulin goes up due to serum glucose. For many, this is due to starch intake. Simple starches are converted, almost entirely, to glucose. But, the "sugar" in milk, Lactose, is a disaccharide of galactose and glucose, so, it is not surprising that high milk intake could raise Insulin and stimulate insulin resistance.

Dairy increases insulin resistance. Is that all dairy or is fat (ghee/clarified butter) excepted? Does it matter if it's from cows (casein A1) compared to goats/sheep (casein A2)?

Fantastic talk. For the past year I have eaten more meat, butter, feta, eggs,bacon based loosely on the keto and carnivore lifestyle. Dr Ken Berry has been my guru. Another blood test i cases for last month. LDL risen to 4.90 total cholesterol 7.0 worse than my blood tests 2020, 21 & 22. Going back to more protein and not doing keto/carnivore. Be careful with these trending lifestyle choices.

My LDL did rise quite a bit but triglycerides went from very bad to normal range. HDL climbed drastically. I’m own finding show on a keto way of life did raise LDL but blood sugar, HDL and triglycerides all went from bad to great. My assumption is that as long as all other markers are normal the elevated LDL means very little. Kidney function was also normal and BP was very good. I live LC and never looking back.

I am refusing a statin. My total cholesterol is 390. But my hdl=96 and my trig=58 (ratio .06). I was so excited about it until my dr burst my bubble. I will be finding a new dr. One that truly understands cholesterol. 😮 All my other comp blood tests, vit D, calcium and potassium were normal. I had low sodium and slightly out of range ALT (my AST was normal). I think I had fasted too long (23 hours) and I was dehydrated.

@lowcarbdownunder Hello. Great presentation - very informative and importantly, evidence based. I just wanted to point out 2 small issues with the slide @15:49 - the one that shows the decision flow diagram for "Pattern A" versus "Pattern B" - and that is that 1) the TAG to HDL ratio ratio at the bottom is superfluous, as if the person has complied with the "Yes" criteria in the above two decisions, then they automatically have a ratio of less than or equal to 0.9. Also there is another issue there, and that being that because that value in this decision is a ratio, and the units used in the two components of the ratio are the same, then the value for the ratio should not have any units, as the units cancel each other out. Thanks very much for the outstanding work that you are continuously putting in to evidence based decision making in medicine. Good-Oh :)

Hi Paul, I am a patient of yours and you have summarises concisely the cholesterol mechanism based on my researching the subject. Well done and I am proud to be your patient. Reasonably so, your talk does not deal with specific hot plaque situations in LAD coronary artery needing urgent attention to avoid rupturing into the blood stream and clotting, so you may consider mentioning Rosuvastatin and Ezetimide as a temporary way of suppressing atherogenic particles and stabilising a plaque, basically allowing it to calcify…accepting that this should be secondary to a proper diet and not to be used as a first line of defence…like the statin pushers do. Just some thoughts. Colin

Many typical MDs in the US are way behind the curve concerning insulin resistance (particularly as it relates to type II diabetes), HOMA-IR, tgl/hdl ratio, and instead look at total cholesterol and ldl. Plus, while they say they are not beholding to drug companies, they are; it's a big incestuous club.
@ekondigg6751 Жыл бұрын
Good to hear this presentation, let's move on from this LDL/HDL stuff. On dairy increasing insulin resistance, it would have been good to know what was or was not included in "dairy": If someone is drinking lots of milk, especially skimmed milk then it would be expected because of the galactose (milk sugar) present, especially in skimmed milk. But if we're talking about butter, heavy cream (within reason) and properly matured cheese, there are only negligible amounts left. There shouldn't be any significant insulin response to that. If it turns out to be the case then it's an issue to be investigated. But, until otherwise informed, I'm assuming it was due to the consumption of milk, especially with the popularity of semi-skimmed milk (skimming decreases fat content which results in increase in galactose content in what's left).

If you look at the study he showed in the video, the diet was "high in dairy primarily low fat (milk, yogurt, or custard)" - not exactly the kind of dairy someone on a low carb diet would consume. I'm curious if the correlation would hold between low carb dieters who do or don't include dairy, though

Dr. Axe's website might site some studies on it. Otherwise try searching online about dairy (spec. Casein protein within dairy) and molecular mimicry, which can be part of the problem. Other things worth investigating- A1 milk vs A2 milk and/or if fermented dairy still caused issues (one would think it still will if someone still has the molecular mimicry issues, but if gut isn't leaking, maybe not an issue, but that would make a person in the minority)

We listen to Dr Mason and follow his advice! Weve been Keto-Carnivore 8yrs now but one issue we are confused about and hoping for adice! We recently had lipid particle size by a Dr we both expected type A esp because when we used to formula for calculating divid tri by hdl we both came out A! But my husband was shown to have B! We were so surprised and have never heard anyone talk about people who are eating good, at a good weight, avoiding sugar/carbs and eating good oils having type B or small dangerous kind of lipid! Everyone who teaches on it says it overweight people who eat bad have it! We are at a lose for what to do what to expect?? Are there people because of genetics no matter how they eat they have type B? We are confused and would love someone to tell us if this happened to them or have you heard of this or is there someway Dr Mason could speak to people like my husband who do the right things but still have the dangerous small type B???

So, high LDL good, but high oxLDL bad. Don't beat your LDL down to near zero by taking statins, PCSK9 inhibitor, etc Instead, beat your Trigs down toward zero to like 50-60, by eating low-carb. Low trigs is proxy for low oxLDL. I ate mostly plant-based, loads of cereals/grains/breads, for many years to avoid my father's heart disease. This put my Trigs well over 200. Thus, oxLDL was presumably high. Wound up with heart attack, diag. of acute coronary artery disease. So I then went low-carb. Basically ketovore. Now my Trigs are 60-80, HDL up to 50. Over 4 years now. Still kicking.
