Thanks to videos like this one I have lowered my ApoB from 1.3mmol/l to 0.9 mmol/l in 6 months. This is what I did: cut out cheese (except feta) and milk. I ate a lot of fish, salads, nuts and olive oil. 16:8 fasting. And one thing I think really helped was lifting weights and the stairclimber. I didn’t even do that much (twice a week) but it has definitely changed my form. My doc is very happy and says no need for statins at the moment.

It’s rather distressing to hear that you have to get this information from a KZread channel rather than your own medical team. My nephew, who is in his 50s, was recently diagnosed with congestive heart failure. He scarfed at the doctor telling him that he needed to stop drinking, but he also said that he got no referral to consult with a dietitian. He also is still vaping and I didn’t hear anybody Except his wife say anything about that as a problem. Maybe he just didn’t tell us that his doctor said he needs to quit. He got quite heavy as an adult and then took off well over 100 pounds, but started putting it back on. When I very gently questioned him, I found out that he had only lost the weight for vanity, not for health. I’m just in shock that he’s acting like this was just bad luck. His aunt died in her lounging chair of heart disease when she was in her 60s, his grandfather died of it in his 70s, he saw his grandmother suffer the effects of a stroke for years and years. I’m not saying you can 100% protect yourself with nutrition and training, but you can’t know if it’ll make a great difference or not unless you do it.

I'm so grateful for your videos! I am research-trained but in another field (Ph.D. in psychology). It's very difficult for me to make sense of the competing claims about diet and heart disease, longevity, and overall health. Your videos do what I would do if I had medical training: take an unbiased look at the evidence, including the QUALITY of the evidence, and draw whatever conclusions are possible to draw given data limitations. Bravo, doctor, and many thanks!

@@NutritionMadeSimple When you and many others say for example olive oil lowers ApoB or LDL, are you meaning it lowers when it replaces saturated fat or that olive oil would be beneficial even when it's not replacing something else unhealthy? Is it like some AMLA powder that is actually working like a drug, or is Olive oil just healthier compared to other oils, but would be better to not eat that either if possible? I think one of the doctors that seemed to have some success in reversing atherosclerosis, Dr. Esselstyn says no oils at all and no nuts even. Do you think he is wrong on that if the goal would be reversing plaque without statins? And a bonus question, if you don't have a video on the topic: effect of beer/alcohol on artery plaque. Is there any mechanism it could actually help clean the arteries, or is 0 alcohol always better for circulation? I just read about one study where 1 beer a day was beneficial to gut bacteria but the effect was the same for even non-alchoholic beer so it's not the alcohol but the beer itself that was healthy for the gut.

@@NutritionMadeSimple Tnx for the quick reply, I found the video on olive oil and alcohol too. With alcohol I understand it metabolizes to acetic acid which is the same as what is in vinegar that has been found to have some heart health benefits afaik. That was the reason I was theorising that perhaps it could be why it would help against certain heart problems. In the study: "Alcohol Consumption and Lower Extremity Arterial Disease among Older Adults: The Cardiovascular Health Study" they found an over 40% lower risk for arterial disease in the legs of elderly people that drank 1 to 13 drinks per week. I was thinking something that is good for the leg arteries of older people, is probably good for other arteries as well in other ages also, but perhaps the effect is just more prominent in this age group. I'm trying to understand the power of the Mendelian alcohol related studies. I understand that when a person has a gene that makes them have high LDL and they also often have heart disease even when younger, that easily establishes the cause, because reverse causation can't be an issue with genes (they are fixed since birth, so obviously it's not the heart disease cuasing the genes, but the other way around). What I don't understand though is how the alcohol studies are considered so strong when the idea is that the gene causes people to drink more on average. What comes to my mind is perhaps this gene like so many other genes are not evendly distributed in the population, but is perhaps more prevelant in areas where a certain diet and other habits are common or perhaps the gene is correlated with other genes that are negative for the health outcomes. Perhaps I'm wrong, but many ways come to my mind how the study is having the results it has, without them actually being direclty caused by alcohol. I personally drink perhaps a few beers a month, but have been considering perhaps I should consider something like 1 beer per day for longer term heart health. According to the most recent science you showed in your videos abstention would seem to be the best option even if that 1 study showed the positive effect on arteries in the legs.

I’m surprised you didn’t mention a 4th actionable tip which is fasting. Especially extended fasts. Fasting has many benefits, one of which is that it can reduce ApoB very quickly as I experienced. When fasting is combined with a good diet consisting of plenty of unsaturated fats as mentioned, and staying away from refined carbs, as I do, can have a dramatic positive effect on your health without the risk of taking harmful drugs.

Thank you for this video.

thank u so much .. these small videos is all the value

3 things I wrote down while watching - do you agree? 1) re: Ron's comment: no one said LDL level is useless - it correlates pretty well with apoB. Also, the same things that reduce LDL (for the most part) also reduce apoB. p.s. I think for most people, the delineation between LDL and LDL-Cholesterol causes more confusion than it's worth. 2) There may be weak evidence that reducing cholesterol consumption reduces apoB (doesn't mean it doesn't do so), but we don't eat cholesterol - we eat food...and most of the foods that contain cholesterol also contain saturated fat - lots of them if we're looking at the American diet. 3) Whenever we talk about the Mediterranean diet, it's crucial to be very clear about diet quality: the Americanized version is a far cry from the true Mediterranean diet and we have good studies looking at how the quality matters...with the highest scores given to those who eat mostly whole plant-based foods. If we go to a Mediterranean restaurant in America we will see lots of cheese and meat on the plates, which is an unfortunate interpretation...but yes, practically anything is better than the Standard American Diet!

This brings up a point that is contrary to what we have been told - that the larger ldl particles are not atherogenic. If the ApoB and ldl are closely correlated then this would tell us that all ldl particles may be atherogenic. If the large fluffy particles are truly not atherogenic then the Apob particles attached to them should not matter, which would mean that ApoB might not be a good indicator of ASCVD risk.....or am I missing something? Would love to hear some other opinions on this.

You are very good at analyzing data and communicating it to us lay people. I truly appreciate your work. I still sometimes feel that certain aspects of nutrition are not clear enough for me to know what to eat and what to avoid. An example is almonds. Are they healthy, and therefore should be eaten, or are they so high in oxalates, that they can cause kidney stones and are better avoided (I have a kidney stone that I don't feel at all)? I get it that coconut oil is harmful being that it is a saturated fat, but I understand that it has many helpful nutrients, so is it good in small doses, or should it be avoided altogether? Are oats too high in carbs? Are they carbs we can afford because they are soluble fiber? I've been to nutritionists in the past, but found that I didn't trust their level of expertise. I would love to find a nutritionist who has your level of expertise and integrity. Perhaps you could do a video on how to weigh out the pros and cons of basic foods (and not so basic foods) which have good properties, and yet are a concern to people with the basic health concerns (hptn, high cholesterol, obesity, diabetes, auto-immune disease, etc). That would be a very practical video.

KZread just recommended your video to me and I'm sooo glad to have come across it!! This is a great channel.
