This is, far and away, the best discussion on this subject I have heard to date.My Kaiser dr, a terrific person, wanted me on statins because at 82 I am at risk of dying in the next ten years. Brilliant. I said I didn't want to take statins and I wanted a CAC scan. She said no reason, just take the statins. I was taking them but that was reason enough for me to start researching. I have stopped the statins, cut out processed carbs, eat a Ketogenic diet, exercise (which I have always done). Lost 18 pounds already. The statins put me in pre diabetic range. Now my fasting glucose is 72. No sugar, no grain, carbs from non starchy veggies, fats (no seed oils) and protein from meat, fish and poultry. Occasional nuts and cheese. And occasional glass of wine. Funny, I did this more out of outrage at the medical system than to be healthy. But that's my way I guess. Thanks for this video. It confirms my experience. Side note: There is no such thing as false vs good science. There is science and there is marketing.

[@tiiiip]

Bravo!

[@jamesgordon8867]

20yrs working in healthcare facilities. He is absolutely correct! They don't want to correct underlying issues!

[@user-yq5ov2wl1e]

One of my favorite online doctors:)

[@stevekelly7488]

I am hearing researchers say that seed oils are the worse than surgar. Listen to Dr Cate Shanahan. She is an Family Practice MD that also has a a bio chemistry degree. She believes that sees oils are the real tobacco scandal of our time.

[@niranjanpaul2176]

Sure pufa omega 6

[@skyblueroan]

The lesser of two evils. Added sugars, fruit juice, seed oils. I avoid them all.

[@skyblueroan]

And, so glad to see that a family doctor is advocating for healthy eating!

[@ricardorodriguez-mi2zv]

So the key here is to lower consumption of grains, sugars and wheat???

[@realsteel8113]

And eat red meat. Works for thousands of people I know including me.

[@niranjanpaul2176]

Pufa, gmo,

[@chuckleezodiac24]

yep. avoid/limit grains, sugar, seed oils, bread, pasta, rice, potatoes. also junk food, fast food, restaurant food and ultra processed food.

[@ritap3071]

Thank you so much for putting on such an informative and life saving video. Dr. Davis is very easy to understand and gets right to the point.

[@humbleduke6745]

This discussion had me hooked 7 minutes in!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@diannalocke997]

Excellent! Big THANK YOU to Dr Davis!!!!

[@richard01983]

If study results made any sense they wouldn't be news. I read "Wheat Belly" and lost visceral fat by cutting out wheat and added sugar.

[@TheAnimalBasedCure]

Great conversation, I want to know more about every one of those topics you brought up for the next interview!

[@daniellee8866]

Dr Davis, you seem to think that small dense LDL particles, if increased, are the direct cause of atherosclerosis by entering the coronary artery wall to form plaques. I beg to differ. I think the amount or number of small dense LDL particles is merely an indicator of poor metabolic health caused by the excessive intake of wheat, grains and sugar. This indicator is merely an indicator, but it does not mechanistically form the plaques themselves. It is the poor metabolic health, eg the high blood sugar, high blood insulin, low nitric oxide, etc that cause endothelial damage and inflammation; and plaques are actually the result of healed blood clots that form at the sites of endothelial damage. The cholesterol in the plaques was there to heal the endothelial damage during the clotting process. Statins are useless because they do not treat the cause of the disease. If we have a molecule to somehow reduce small dense LDL particles, it is also useless because small dense LDL count is merely an indicator. We can’t get healthy by treating indicators. Indicators merely indicate. We need to correct the metabolic dysfunction!

[@jamesgordon8867]

When are more going to see & evaluate like your comment? We need more data so maybe Primary Care will listen

[@randyblanton5580]

Read Dr. Malcolm Kendrick's book "The Clot Thickens."

[@hiraijo1582]

Thank you for this comment. Retired MD here. Sadly pharma loves to treat indicators. There is a lot of profit.

[@MrUncleBob]

hmmmm, very very interesting 🙂

[@jamesgordon8867]

Wheats, grains and sugar: all make my blood sugars go up! Why I avoid! Need fats to lose body fats.

[@azdhan]

Really interesting. Nicholas G Norwitz, together with Dave Feldman, and hughly reputable and respected Lipidologist, William Cromwell are carefully researching the issue of what increases your risk of CVD the most, insulin resistance leading to cardiometabolic vulnerability or high LDL/ApoB in the absence of insulin resistance. It will be interesting to see what they discover and its application to the general population. Right now the research is based on a hypothesis that in certain people who meet the eligibility criteria of Lean Mass Hyper Responder and are following a ketogenic diet, high LDL may only be a ninimal artifact abd their insulin sensitivity and avoidance of T2D may put them at minimal risk. Earlier research they conducted looking at heart scans of participants found zero arterial calcium scores and no evidence of even softer plaque. This makes me wonder if the Lean Mass Hyper Responder Phentoype may be what Dr Davis has refereed to in another videos as the “Perfect Carnivore” And a super high carb diet or carb loading could have deteimental hard health outcomes on this phenotype

[@DrJK-wm9ec]

In your next podcast can you address the importance of the health of the glycocalyx and the endothelial lining of your blood vessels. It is damage to these that cause atherosclerosis. And SUGAR damages the glycocalyx (no surprise!).

[@jamesgordon8867]

Glad you mentioned glycocalx

[@johnsavage4786]

Read The Clot Thickens by Dr Malcolm Kendrick this is another fantastic read

[@leslietroy2869]

We won't make changes as long as we insist on seeing malpractice as "WELL INTENDED". The only good intention from the doctors point of view is how much money is in it. To evade the truth is just as evil as not caring about the truth.

[@johnalice2657]

This gets more confusing because Cleveland heart labs has separate tests for small, dense ldl and oxidized ldl, in addition to small ldl. Clear as mud.

[@canalroadadventures5079]

I have apo4/3 and the only way I have found to reduce the sdLDL is to take a statin, unfortunately. I eat few carbs and no wheat/grains and my triglycerides and insulin are low .

[@jamesgordon8867]

Insulin levels

[@brendanokeeffe3509]

On requesting my GP I got a CAC Score of 4000 ❤ .I was told by GP that, having had a quadruple bypass 30 years ago ,such a result did not have any predictive value Could not get an explanation ?? Can you explain? Many Thanks Brendan O Keeffe

[@shawnfallahi5616]

what is your argument for someone to NOT take a statin, if they have suffered a heart attack (stents placed)?

[@Davidkxf]

My trigs are very high and I'm 95% carnivore for over 8 years now.

[@BrendaKing-zs9tb]

Thats weird

[@chuckleezodiac24]

this used to happen to Dave Feldman. he calls it the "Triglyceride Carryover Effect." he has videos and blogs related to it. i think it depended on how many hours he had fasted before the blood tests. his TGLs dropped to normal 1 or 2 hrs after he would wake up. kzbin.info/www/bejne/onvHeXl5bq1qj7c

[@mpoharper]

My triglycerides went up on statins. Keto without statins they go down.

[@UnknownUser-sc6jx]

More fat less protein and try eating fish like salmon and sardines for the omega 3s

[@jamesmcgarity614]

Now you know why I didn't get anymore COVID shots

[@fa4615]

Sorry you are not letting your guest to say what he wants you comments to much

[@allencrider]

Sure, William Davis has the truth. EVerybody else is a liar.

[@donaldobrien9171]

There are many other docs that agree with Davis. Ken Berry, Ford Brewer, and many others, some of whom are in other comments

[@sabeelhoneycom]

Always love to listen dr. Davis. One thing i noticed he talks like trump. No pun intended. But similarities end right there. He is a great doctor and we like him as he is.

[@BrendaKing-zs9tb]

Knpw what i cant get my cardiologist to do an NMR for me or a CAC

[@divadyrdnal]

I had to pay for my NMR myself using “Own Your Labs” web site…BTW I found out I have lots of small LDL-P, I’m already not eating sugar/wheat/grains for many years

[@UnknownUser-sc6jx]

Lie to them tell them a close relatives had a heart attack or heart disease early some times you have to bend the truth a Little, that's how I got my CAC test and advanced lipid profile

[@debdroessler5199]

Just pay for it yourself mine was only $110. Otherwise get a new Dr!!!!

[@BrendaKing-zs9tb]

Ok how to get it without a dr​@@debdroessler5199
