Right. Hearing the truth is a fairytale these days. Sugar is the leading cause of heart disease and heart failure not good cholesterol/LDL. The history of the cholesterol studies are proven to be a botched study that was paid for by the Sugar industry. It's 100% documented Fact. Ne studies are being done now by Cardiologist and all the early studies are already showing high LDL levels are good for the human body. Our Government committed fraud .

@veganpeace_ATX 3 года назад

Thanks for posting this video. I just got my blood tested last month after being a low fat (no oil, no mock meats, and very very little avocado, coconut or high fat vegetables) vegan for almost 2 years. I'm a 61 year old male, before going vegan I was lacto ovo vegetarian for 39 years. I was pleased that almost always my results came back within the reference range. My LDL was actually lower than the range, sodium was low, RBC was a little lower than the ref. range. PSA screening was in the lower part of the ref range, also had a cologard test that also came back with no abnormalities. It was great to see the doctor go through your results and explain them, thanks! I'm super happy with going vegan, I love the food I eat now!

Low LDL is dangerous: 'Chronically low LDL levels may impair brain and hormonal activity and increase the risk of hypobetalipoproteinemia, a condition linked to depression, cirrhosis, preterm birth, hemorrhagic stroke, and certain types of cancers'

@indy2316 3 года назад

Low PSA is dangerous: 'Very low PSA levels appeared associated with a greater risk for disease-specific death in men with high-grade prostate cancer, according to the results of a population-based study.'

@indy2316 3 года назад

Low RBC is dangerous: 'A low RBC count may indicate anaemia, bleeding, kidney disease, bone marrow failure (for instance, from radiation or a tumour), malnutrition, or other causes. A low count may also indicate nutritional deficiencies of iron, folate and vitamin B12' And low sodium is dangerous: 'Low blood sodium is common in older adults, especially those who are hospitalized or living in long-term care facilities. Signs and symptoms of hyponatremia can include altered personality, lethargy and confusion. Severe hyponatremia can cause seizures, coma and even death.'
