Is high cholesterol harmful on a low carb diet? What about saturated fat?
Does high HDL-C and low triglycerides eliminate risk? How about a calcium score of zero? Low Carb Cardiologist Dr. Ethan Weiss addresses common low carb FAQs.
ApoB & ASCVD risk. you can predict per milligram per deciliter reduction in LDL-cholesterol or apoB you'll see a specific reduction in risk
the simplest answer: what's your ApoB? the role of HDL in atherosclerotic coronary disease is fascinating. triglycerides: it's the apoB component of triglycerides probably that contributes to risk, so the simplest way to think about this is what´s your apoB.
statins are not LDL-reducing drugs, or apoB reducing drugs, they're heart attack risk-reducing drugs, they happen to also reduce LDL.
high ApoB and a high HDL-cholesterol.
calcium scoring. the power of zero is much more impactful in an older person. if you have calcium in your arteries at 20 you got a problem. having zero calcium score after three or four or five years of having hypercholesterolemia or high apoB doesn't necessarily tell us much, you could be growing soft plaque. statins can raise calcium score at the same time as they lower risk. statins increase deposition of calcium but they reduce risk.
is it the saturated fat itself or is it the carbs, if I'm on a low carb diet maybe that eliminates the risk? high saturated fat confers high apoB. if your ApoB is still good, from a coronary perspective it's hard for me to go beyond the ApoB. for me it's all driven by ApoB.
oxidized or modified LDL or ApoB. drugs to specifically modulate oxidized LDL independent of overall LDL have all failed. if you have less residence time, if your LDL receptors are upregulated, it's less likely to be modified. monoclonal antibodies against oxidized LDL failed.

I have been a armchair nutrition student for many years after the death of my mother, now more than 20 years ago, I have found Gil´s videos and take on so many important topics to be one of the best resources on You Tube. I hope he keeps up this important work as so much that is presented in other places are simply confusing, poorly done, opinion driven and often, plain off the mark. Real food forms the basis of all things healthy. Hope you re well Gil...

@xnoreq 5 месяцев назад

You are not at all alone in that. The liver primarily accumulates fat from dietary fat, which ultimately impairs suppression of glucose production in the liver. So now you have high blood glucose. You know what happens next. The pancreas compensates by producing more insulin. Hyperinsulinemia. If you kept supplying fat then both the liver and pancreas would keep accumulating fat, aided by the extra insulin, which results in a downward health spiral. This is how type 2 diabetes develops, because at some point the pancreas will burn out. At this point insulin production will go down and blood sugar will go up uncontrollably. It's sad there there are so many "health influencers" and people paid by the industry that spread so much misinformation and promote these sort of diets, so it often takes people several years to figure out that these diets are not healthy at all - at their own health's cost. But all the basic nutritional science has been known for many decades.

I have a Friend who has high triglycerides and very low HDL , he eats mostly refined carbs , I have low triglycerides and optimal HDL , I was eating a ketogenic diet at the time of the blood work, the only marker that he had that was better than me was LDL , I m not saying LDL isn’t important especially if APOB is high , but it interesting how someone that unhealthy ( he’s overweight and doesn’t exercise, still has totally normal LDL. I don’t know his APOB because his doctor only ran the standard lipid panel.

My ApoB shot up to >180 while on a strict keto diet. I was in good shape and good BP, but I've got two teenage kids I need to see through university. At least! I can't just die on them. So I switched to a low carbish diet by adding two cans of beans (protein + fiber) per day while swapping out SFAs and reducing dietary cholesterol generally. No more eggs or red meat, just chicken breast and fish. Now my ApoB is 83.

Their high protein content also helps to lower the amount of animal protein (and SFA's) you have to eat. .The net carbs they provide are their least important nutrient.

@albrackets8446 Год назад

regarding the issue of high LDL-C and ASCVD risk, I am sure you have seen the hazard ratios of various conditions published in JAMA. At the top is diabetes, smoking, the various metabolic syndromes (such as obesity) on down to TGD and low HDL. At the bottom is LDL-C in terms of risk factors. So if you reverse the items with the highest risk, namely diabetes, ( and pre-diabetes assuming there is risk from that), obesity, hypertension but were stuck with higher LDL-C, wouldn't that be a good trade?

@NutritionMadeSimple Год назад

there are many technical issues with using these data to directly compare risk factors (e.g. contrast of exposure and adjustment models). also, bear in mind LDL-C is just a surrogate of ApoB, which associates more strongly with risk. all that aside, the key realization is that most people can control ALL their risk factors at the same time. glucose AND body weight AND cholesterol metabolism. a healthy lifestyle does all of that. choosing between risk factors is not needed in most cases. this video and next week´s continue to explore these questions

@robertusga Год назад

Why would that be a good trade if the only essential condition for CVD is high ApoB. Reduce that and the others are irrelevant. Not saying you should not try and keep all of them in a healthy range, but trying to ignore ApoB is just an excuse to binge on saturated fats while playing Russian roulette with heart disease and stroke.

@AZ89231 Год назад

@@NutritionMadeSimple FYI, the paper is Association of Lipid, Inflammatory, and Metabolic Biomarkers With Age at Onset for Incident Coronary Heart Disease in Women and the HR for apoB was 1.26 to 1.89 whereas diabetes was 3.47 to 10.92 and LPIR was 1.15 to 6.4

@AZ89231 Год назад

@@robertusga because it’s almost certainly not the only essential condition. I would argue it’s necessary but not sufficient (you also need inflammation and endothelial dysfunction generally) - see comment above - apoB as an independent risk factor is generally squashed by other markers of metabolic health and not very informative without interpretation in context. For example, when you use the AHA/ACC risk calculator, a higher LDL-c is trumped by TC/HDL-c ratio, I have patients whose LDL-c increased by 20% but their HDL-c incr by 25% and their total cholesterol stays the same and comparatively their baseline risks of ASCVD drops by 25%. LDL-c is a poor man’s apoB (sometimes). Beating up ApoB is VERY important for secondary prevention or VERY high risk individuals bc you’re taking the oxygen away from the fire of atherosclerosis, but to lower apoB into a “healthy range”…whatever that is…is perhaps a mistake IMO unless it’s absolutely necessary and it’s hardly playing Russian roulette.

This interview will probably confuse the hell out of most people, even those with a moderate science background. The cardiologist is constantly changing frames between him, his patients, and "evidence". However, the ultimate goal for any respectable healthcare professional towards their patients is a way of eating that: 1. lasts for a lifetime 2. is sustainable 3. doesn't exclude from the social sphere 4. doesn't introduce major health risks. These criteria may exclude most "diet clubs", but some do score better than others, and probably by a wide margin. All in all, I was not convinced. His patients should probably ask for a second opinion before gamefying their ketones and getting a high score on their LDL.

Heart disease is by far the # killer world wide. Anthogenesis.... the buildup of plaque that narrows arteries and more, can start very early in some people and occurs in almost all populations as we age. Therein, as the plaque burden grows over the decades, it's been shown that lowering APO B, a proxy for LDL and total cholesterol, will slow that process and even reverse it. Statins are the most well studied meds and their aggressive use can save as many as 50% of folks from so called "major events" like an MI or stroke. So starting early is important if indicated by one's blood work and family history. You will find lots of doubters/haters re. medicine here on RU-vid and elsewhere but if you trust multiple (100's) research studies all over the world you will come to the same conclusion. However, you'll see that many Ytube docs and docs with dubious credentials ignore the papers and have HUGE followings that take no action and remain as or more smug than the Utube presenters making lots of money on life-years lost to modern day charlatan's pocket books.

@velikijoxotnik Год назад

Very interesting. I've been low carb for over a year and a half, and have had really good results. But, my ApoB is 160. I'd bought into the narrative that high LDL-C doesn't matter. I still don't like making CVD risk determinations on LDL-C alone, but I have come around to understand that ApoB IS a very good marker for CVD risk level. My CAC Score was 70. I have agreed with my cardiologist that I need to lower ApoB, and am starting to back off of the quantity of saturated fat intake. I want to stay low carb (primarily, low 'bad' carb), but am trying to figure out how I can modify my low-carb lifestyle, so that my ApoB comes back down. I can't do statins because they give me muscle aches. My cardiologist has started me on Leqvario (injections). I'm hoping that they're effective. I find these videos to be VERY helpful and informative. I like it when professionals, like you, understand the low-carb lifestyle, but can point out the goods and the bullshits in the narratives, related to this dietary lifestyle.

If you insist on low carb then plant dominant low carb mediterranian diet: high in raw nuts, fatty fruits (avocado and olives) and moderate amounts of olive oil. Low in saturated fat, high in benefical plant compounds. You can also try carbs from whole fruits and legumes. They are really benefical, you can almost eat them with no portion control, especially fresh whole fruits. Carbs are not the problem, where you get the carbs is the problem. As the commenter above stated we should differantiate between a whole crisp apple and a donut (which is also filled with oil, not just carbs) You can replace meat and dairy with small, fatty fish like anchovies and legumes.

I'm not interested in taking red meat out of my diet. Plant-based diets are totally unfulfilling for me. I agree that a Med style diet may be a happy medium. I'm not a huge fan of fish though. I get my fill VERY quickly. My primary focus is removing trashy carbs (as in sugary, starchy, and highly-processed foods). Whole, above-ground cruciferous veggies and leafy greens are very much a staple of my diet, and I don't count those carbs against my daily carb target (which I don't actively count or track). Pecans and almonds have a place in my diet. Avocado, blackberries and raspberries do too, but I do try not to overdo the fructose. I've already started cooking with more olive oil and Avocado oil. I am planning to reduce the amount of saturated fat intake, and adding some more whole grains, to see if that helps to lower my ApoB.

@@velikijoxotnik If you don't want to take red meat out you can atleast pick the leanest cuts possible. Beef tendon is also good, lot's of collagen etc. For the fructose part, as long as you get it from whole foods like fruits and your liver is in good health (choline really helps) fructose is actually benefical. Basically: bad, unhealthy fatty liver + fructose from processed foods = high trigs, insulin resistance etc. Healthy, strong liver + lots of fructose from WHOLE fruits = good health, increased sex hormones, energy etc. (basically your liver health and how you get your fructose is the important part not the amount of fructose) So, in long story short you can do: some conservative amounts of lean meat/organs and tendon, lot's of legumes, whole fruits, fatty fruits, nuts, greens, using avocado and olive oil for cooking. Note: fruits increase your iron absorbtion from the meat so if you are a man or a menapausal woman check your iron from time to time just in case it gets too high.

While keto is low carb, there is a difference when saying you eat low carb (under 150g of carbs) and keto (under 50g and often under 20g). From what I gathered, this doc isn't keto anymore but went up to low carb.

This was awesome!! Low Carb diet is the only that works after you develop certain degree of insulin resistance (alternatively, GLP1-RA drugs or surgery) --- well at least that's my experience. So it's really important to learn CVD risk while eating low carb. Clear & straightforward advice in this video! References are super helpful too! TY!!

@spiral-m Год назад

"Low Carb diet is the only that works after you develop certain degree of insulin resistance ". Incorrect. Based upon successful peer-reviewed trials: "The Natural Food Interaction Diet (NFI diet) will allow you to eat what you want and as a much as you want each day, providing it is written on the plan. It is a personally tailored plan designed to give any person a sufficient and well balanced diet containing all the nutrient and minerals that you require and does not have any yo-yo effect whilst on the diet due to its specific tailoring to an individual." There is no calorie restriction at all.

I did Low carb + time-restricted eating and got myself to a pre-diabetic state on my glucose levels. Got the Nutrisense tracker and saw my spikes go UP for every "breakfast." I started adding in healthy carbs and breakfast and my A1C went back to below 5.2. I'm working now toward whole food plant-based, as my LDLs have always been high and I haven't really paid attention to saturated fats in my diet.

Absolutely great video. Yes more. We don't have to agree on every detail, we just have to take a moment to listen and learn a new perspective. 1000% agree, the keto carnivore world has not provided long term RCT'S. The rest everything one "but our ancestors ate meat". I still eat keto / carnivore but than again Im not here for a long time, just here to enjoy a short time then move on to the next life. My personal belief is that carnivore makes us strong, vegan helps us to live longer. Excess anything is bad. People have to choose and roll the dice. Driving a car or inner city living is a major risk. All part of life.

It's interesting how some people can tolerate consuming relatively high amounts of fat and cholesterol without raising LDL either due to age and metabolism or through genetics. Then these people tell other people to do the same just because it works for them giving rise to misinformation and seriously dire consequences for many. Personally, I have had the best overall results in my health from following prudent advice of eating a high amount of leafy greens, avoiding animal products and process snack and fast foods.
