    There are now AT LEAST 5 meta-analyses which confirm that dietary saturated fat does NOT contribute to atherosclerosis. This fact was also backed up by the cardiology journal, JACC, in 2020!:thanksdoc:
  • @451fahrentheit
    Thanks for the interesting lecture. However, let me clarify that the main cause of high triglycerides is carbohydrate consumption. Dr. Robert Atkins, for example, wrote about this a long time ago. Let me advise the respected doctor to reduce their consumption in his diet and lose a little more weight...
  • @twiggyfitness6642
    The last study i saw showed that 60% of heart attack victims have cholesterol less than 200. Dont need starins... need to drop the carbs to a more reasonable level.
  • @KenJackson_US
    It's a shame that doctors are trained to diagnose and prescribe instead of identifying the CAUSE of problems.
  • @antwha5526
    great presentation. However horrible signal to noise ratio; so much background sound
  • @b.b.finsclara3589
    Dr.Michael Coren i was about to welcome your thought processing....educating us about triglycerides.....LDL.....HDL.....Cholesterol......Until i took a wholesome intake of your talk-lecture......to discover that in it THERE WAS NO MENTION OF THE ROLE OF STARCHES-CARBOHYDRATES AND MAINLY SUGAR!!!!! WHY???
  • @tarabooartarmy3654
    What about that study with a cohort of 12.8 million people that found the optimal total cholesterol level was 180-280? It actually showed more cardiac events the lower patients went below 180. What is your opinion on this study?
  • @edwcnj1
    Statins are mycotoxins. Reducing the dose is not necessarily clearing this toxin from your blood and tissues.
  • @jimwilson5202
    The Statins business makes $20 billion dollars per year. Now we know that there are no studies that support the use of Statins .
  • @jeffrey4577
    Fish oil raises triglycerides but he didn't explain to that lol
  • @patricksullivan3919
    The truth? Really? From you all? I’ll bet you are liars, but we will see.
