My talk recorded at the May 11th Dublin Cardiovascular event, prior to the free screening of The Widowmaker Movie. Event organised by Alan Crean of DCU, sponsored by David Bobbett and the www.IHDA.ie team – and a great night it was too! Soon to follow will be footage of other content including our superb Q&A

One can forgive Peter’s sarcastic note in this old post from 2009. The whole cholesterol affair is risible and worthy of the deepest contempt. The Emperor needs to be dragged through the mud backwards, after all the damage his minions have caused ! http://high-fat-nutrition.blogspot.ie/2009/03/cholesterol-within-nations-studies.html  

Dropping by New York I took the opportunity to have another enjoyable chat with Dr. Brookler. Since our last meeting, he has been focussing in on the clinical effects of low-carb, high-fat diets. He is seeing some impressive outcomes from the approach !He has also been researching insulin’s effects on endoplasmic reticulum stress, particularly that

Well, Vinnie asked to do a bit of a re-run of the Cholesterol-focussed podcast from way back last year. His audience has got a lot bigger, so new peeps to run the basics by. Pull no punches was the brief – no dancing around the data. Why not call it out for the 50-year farce

Thanks to David Wynnt for sending this one on ( @wyadvd on twitter ). Very good discussion, and I loved his one key test for longevity that anyone can get. Yes, it’s the old Post-Glucose Insulin – which he says should be below 30uIU/ml. Exactly as Kraft discovered many decades ago. It’s not just cardiovascular

Ok the petition is doing well at 1,500…well at 3264 signatures now I see, after a couple more days… Keep them coming. Please help to share widely.

I reproduce in full here one man’s experience with discovering low carb living.

A huge thanks goes out to Dr. Pedro Aceves – he has just translated all of Dr. Kraft’s discussion into perfect Spanish. Myself and Dr. Jeff Gerber met Dr. Aceves at the Low Carb Vail. He described the diabetic disaster that has befallen Mexico, something that upsets him greatly. He immediately offered to translate this

Sobriety-inspired note: I penned this in a fit of pique last night, after a family celebration which involved vast quantities of great wine. Many enjoyed the bilious burst, but some called histrionics – fair point indeed.  I am leaving the post in place however – ‘for posterior’, if nothing else. Also, there’s an element of

A few people have asked me to catalogue the small selection of ‘Black Swans’ that I’ve collected around the old ‘cholesterol’. Here you go.

Great paper here from the inimitable Dr. Jeff Gerber. I always found CIMT to be a weak predictor. Here’s a good summary of why. The coronary CT Scan and CAC Calcium Score blows it away. Like an Autumn leaf. Or a feather maybe. Something light and trite in any case…! Click on link below for scintillating

Another of so many – this time from a 1990 Paper: And the result? Important things in Red Box. Associational distractions in Green Dotted Box. Hey – the guys who were screwed even had slightly lower LDLp – fancy that? Also, 1990 was before the Statin Shotgun got really warmed up… 🙂

On a bit of an ApoB roll here this eve. It is such an annoying associational variable, that scares the poor low carbers who come in high. We’ll put aside the actual data, which suggests that ApoB is a poor indicator for LCHF low-IR people. Based on logic, why might the high number be irrelevant for

Isn’t that an interesting question – especially for people who have proven Coronary Artery DIsease?  If you’ve been reading recent posts, you may take a guess at this one. Ok, I’ll put you out of hanging in suspenders there, and show you the results of this nice little study; again small sampling mathematical theory applies

Oh here we go again; I’ll never tire of reminding people that Insulin sits at the center of Heart Disease risk, and most other modern afflictions also. Here are a couple of great papers – the first deals with C-Peptide levels and the Mortality Reality (for ‘C-Peptide’ read ‘Insulin’). The second also deals with C-Peptide,

After talking to Ron I glanced through my archives. There’s lots there to show that ApoB has feet of clay. Does the ‘B’ in ApoB stand for ‘BS’ ? Here yet again we peek at the reality. Using ApoB for #LCHF people is sneaky shenanigans.Note also the 120min postload Insulin data halfway down the table.

Had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Ron Rosedale at ‪#‎lowcarbvail‬ , just after his spellbinding talk. There were a few questions I have particularly wanted to ask him. A key one: “does a high LDLp reading imply risk, for people who have achieved very good Insulin & Leptin signalling?”. I personally don’t think so, from

Aseem continues to charge forward. Diabetes is a disease of carbohydrate intolerance. Unlike Fat and Protein, humans have no essential requirement for Carbohydrates. The current advice for diabetics to eat copious quantities of ‘complex’ carbohydrates is a disgraceful sham. How can they have driven this failed anti-science strategy for decades?

Ireland is suffering from a serious obesity epidemic. We are the 4th fattest in Europe now, and are seriously working towards achieving the top spot.

Aseem does it again with an another important #LCHF message on BBC Radio 4 – no room for doubt here ! This is radio so the ladies will miss his handsome visage – just had to steal a pic from www.dietdoctor.com (super – look it up).  So seconds out, round one – meet the contestants:*

Worth a post this one, from my learned and philosophical friend Murray who expounds below (Ludwig’s excellent response to Guyenet, defending his excellent book:  https://medium.com/@davidludwigmd/ludwig-responds-to-whole-health-source-article-93d8e1667477#.n53p4113p ; the book is highly recommended, and available at http://www.amazon.com/Always-Hungry-Conquer-Cravings-Permanently/dp/1455533866 ) And so to Murray’s summary (warning: intellectual content ahead…!)
