AHS12 Peter Attia, MD - The Straight Dope on Cholesterol 

mdesm2005 ... see the description

How do I know which slide to follow Smart Paul Geno

I was thinking the exact same thing. Would really have preferred to see the slides instead of the audience.

Hes a very good speaker and has good slides .... yes I agree .... {the audience seemed so disinterested .... like kids in school room chewing gum and throwing spitballs ....]

Link to the slides is in the description.

Thank you!!!

Thank you thank you thank you for saving this presentation for me!

Yes thank you for saying this! It is so impressive how many people are angrily complaining about they're not being slides when there's a link in the description.

RIP mobile users

Thank you!!! 😊

he is a cocky mfer, surgeons usually are. But he knows his stuff.

Just being healthy now is not the issue, the issue is what will a person's health be in 20-30 years. Nearly all long lived groups eat primarily plant food and little meat. The ancient Eskimo mummies were big time meat eaters and had significant atherosclerosis and osteoporosis.

John, you are "spouting ignorant paleo propaganda" what is your evidence that Okinawans, Adventists eat more meat than SAD? Clearly you are wrong.

I have had high cholesterol for years. In 2011 I finally had a check up with a cardiologist. I had a neck artery scan which showed at least with those arteries that my arteries were very close to normal after 20 years of cholesterol levels anywhere from 230 to 290. The doctor wanted to put me on statiins but I refused. My mom had problems on statins and I found after her death her brother also had muscle issues when on statins. I go in next month to have a cardio check up with a new doctor so it will be interesting to find out my results. I don't want to take the risk of taking statins if 2 close family members both had a reaction to them.

so reading 1 sentence of the description is too much but ofc u would look at the slides

Fructose can only be processed by the liver, not the bowel. This is how some people end up with non-alcoholic fatty liver, consuming too much fructose.

Good question. I find it hard to believe, that a mechanism so vital for life (the boat carrying the cargo to where it needs to go) is flawed from nature, and allows the LDL to penetrate the endothelium and deposit the cargo there. Reducing chronic inflammation seems to be the key, as I see it (be it caused by a bad diet or otherwise unhealthy lifestyle).

There is a version with diagrams. It's called "Dr Peter Attia - The Straight Dope on Cholesterol". It's by drcldrcl.

If you have a lot of free time to do so, there are a lot of detailed diagrams among the cholesterol posts on his blog. Nine parts, plus an intro post. peterattiamd.com/category/cholesterol-2/

or instead of looking at the audience

I have to agree. If he wasn't so pretty to look at I would not have made it through the video without the slides.

Link to the slides is in the description.

I know your comment is a year old, but in case you see my comment...check out Ivor Cummins videos and research CAC scan/score. Calcium is the culprit, the body responds to inflammation and calcium gets put in the soft tissues, including blood vessels.

There's one doctor I heard of, "Dr. Peter Attia". Google him

I couldn’t find this

Excellent point. But I take it that this is still in line with the bottom-line of Attia's argument, right?

i recommend you go to PLANT POSITIVE, for attia,s true motives behind his low carb promotion. its simply false and staturated fat and cholesterol are at the root of arterosclerosis

@@cypriano8763 P. Attia: *presents reams of evidence that shows it's not that simple* You: BUT PLANTS AND HE LIES Try contesting the evidence instead of just making shit up about the presenter.

@@thefisherking78 plant positive destroys that guy. Keto is a dumb diet period

@@cypriano8763 I'm not here debating keto. Again, it is not that simple and it only ever seemed that simple because counterevidence was suppressed. www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0735109720356874 Also, side note, stop conflating source and makeup of diet. There are keto vegans and low-fat animal eaters.

High blood pressure, arterial stiffness dt AGEs, high fasting glucose to name a few risk factors. Also, particle count is more or less a probability game. The more particles you have flowing through your blood stream, the greater the risk one will get caught, become oxidized, and initiate the inflammatory process.

exactly!

Excess sugar especially processed sugars, act like 'shards of glass' in our blood streams, this alone can tear arteral walls. I think Peter Attia should get together with Dr. J Bergman and Jason Fung. They would make a team no-one would go up against.

Click to 19:10. It seems this is due to an interruption in the intestinal epithelial wall. Once the gap junctions separate particles leak from the gut. Intestinal permeability...my understanding is this is a result of an inflammatory process.

Crystal Plaid ... slides are in the description

Look in the description box. There's a link to the slides there. (Unfortunately I didn't notice until the end, so now I'll have to watch it again.)

Most of the World outside the U.S. & U.K. (and Keyes influence) worries about too little cholesterol. Cell walls and hormones are made of cholesterol. 150 is the minimum desired blood level, and 200-250 is optimal. 400+ simply means you are eating artery-lining-destroying foods, like Canola Oil (GMO Rapeseed Oil); Industry studies showing it is 'heart healthy' are VERY short term: test is usually just 3 hours after consumption of a spoonful; & NOT after 3 years of frequent use. MSG ('natural flavors') and Citric Acid (a corn product) can put holes in things, too. High cholesterol (>>250? ) is just a sign of long term arterial inflammation. Body coats inflamed areas and holes in the Endothelial lining with it, like a scab. Lowering cholesterol artificially without addressing the cause of the inflammation (low grade mutated HHV-family viral infection?) increases 'all-cause' mortality, but doctors rarely read the original medical studies. Nor studied the newer viruses until recently: Cincinnati EBV April 2018 study, linking it to 94+ chronic diseases. Almost every adult worldwide now carries at least one strain of EBV (HHV-4) semi-dormantly. Dietary cholesterol has little to no relation to blood cholesterol. High triglycerides and a 'fatty' clogged liver-filter is what we do need to worry about! Need low fat, high phytonutrient & high antioxidant diet to reverse it. It will also reverse HBP/LBP, which is the body adapting or not adapting to the liver being clogged. Most current BP Meds do not detox or unclog the liver and fix the underlying problem. So eat your colorful (organic) fruits, berries, greens, herbs, spices, and vegetables, just like your grandma always told you! If she had a garden in the back yard, she probably lived into her 90s, despite smoking, etc. Need to temporarily lower the amounts of meats, fats, eggs, butter, nuts, and seeds, IF you have 'fatty liver' (rounded tummy), HBP, or diabetes, until your liver heals. Also need to cut down on mucus-causing foods, like dairy, gluten, soy, corn products, anything GMO or processed, plus any animal (esp. pork), fowl, or farmed fish fed GMO foods (grains, kibble). Mucus can clog the liver. The inflammed & clogged liver-filter eventually becomes 'insulin resistant'. Processing excessive or toxic fats stresses the clogged liver-filter, and therefore your guts (via bile), kidneys, heart & brain (via blood), and muscles & skin (via lymph); which is where a clogged 'fatty' liver sends the toxins it can't absorb or process. Since everyone is different, if very low carb Atkins or Keto hasn't cured you of (whatever annoys you) within 3 months, try

Re: environment: Women's fertility levels are dropping each decade, and menses are coming earlier and earlier. Age 14 was normal 50 years ago; now it is often around 9. In +40 years, it will be age 5 with 50% fewer successful pregnancies. Too many phytoestrogens in the environment? In GMO soy? Dairy? 'Processed' B.C. pills in the water supply? ...Male fish are disappearing from our rivers, too. Not sure if more men going bald is related, although whacky hormone levels and Alopecia (from the toxins) may be. Cancer cure rates have not improved in the past 70 years, and now 1 in 3 adults and pets get cancer. Pre-industrial age, it used to be VERY rare. For-profit Big Corporations feed and medicate both. Lower fertility sure beats a plague for God-given population control. Our World does need less people, and more natural unpolluted wilderness, rivers, and farms in order to be sustainable.

You do *not* have to worry about cholesterol on a ketogenic diet (or any other diet for that matter). Cholesterol never was the problem, and your own body makes a lot more cholesterol than you consume with your food.

DCD : Think this is funny, huh? Well, maybe you ought to do a bit of research before posting a misinformed comment. Thank you!

Cholesterol is present whenever there is inflammation, so it may be a marker, but it's not the cause. The biggest culprits of chronic inflammation are highly processed carbohydrates (sugar, flour etc.), excess consumption of omega-6 vegetable oils (soybean, sunflower etc). Low magnesium can play a role. The reason cholesterol and saturated fat were demonized in the past is most likely because cholesterol is *always* present when inflammation is happening, so it was misunderstood. Cholesterol doesn't cause the inflammation, it always comes to heal. Are we going to blame firemen for starting the fire just because we see them every time there is a fire? Cholesterol is so important for your health that your body produces most of it. You *do not* have to worry about the cholesterol that comes with your food. If you eat less, your body just makes more.

Vegans are healthier *than people who eat fast food and junk* (i.e. the SAD) which isn't very hard to do. Other than that they are not healthier than anybody else. And they don't live longer either. Please, spare me the vegan propaganda. Thank you!

Wrong again. Your information is outdated. DO YOUR RESEARCH!

Stop concentrating on LDL-C and worry more about LDL-P. Cholesterol is not the cause of CVD. (BTW, we've known that since the 1960's--but Ancel Keys got his diet-heart hypothesis on the radar and got everyone worked up about cholesterol. A much better indicator of risk is the patient's ratio of trigs to HDL, and if you want a _real_ measure of CVD, order a CAC scan.) We know now that Keys cherry-picked the seven countries that supported his diet-heart hypothesis from among the twenty-two he measured. Harcombe's reanalysis of his total data failed to show any correlation at all. No subsequent study, including Keys' own Minnesota Coronary Study, has ever verified a correlation between cholesterol and heart disease. In fact, several studies, in particular the Women's Health Initiative and the Framingham data, show an inverse correlation between LDL and heart disease, particularly in the elderly. Not only that, but recently-published sugar industry memos have revealed that the sugar industry paid off several Harvard researchers, including Stare and Willet, to demonize saturated fat in order to take the focus off of sugar. If you want references to the relevant studies, take a look at _Good Calories, Bad Calories,_ by Gary Taubes (2007) and _The Big Fat Surprise,_ by Nina Teicholz (2014). It's a sad commentary on the state of nutrition science that investigative reporters know more about the actual science than "experts" in the field.
