WHO 2009. Ethical imperative that every patient understands relative vs absolute risk reduction. To prevent manipulation.
Dr Malhotra got it published with the Medical Royal Colleges in 2015.
Your doctor is showing you one number. Not both.

Heart disease is inflammatory. Chronic stress feeds it directly.
Your body was built to handle acute stress and switch off. Modern life never lets it.

15 years of type 2 diabetes. Normalised glucose in one month on a low-carb Mediterranean diet. Dr Aseem Malhotra. Interventional cardiologist. This is what he sees in his clinic

BMJ. Denmark. 100,000 people studied over 10 years.
Ideal LDL for longevity: 3.4 to 3.9 millimoles. Above the level at which most GPs currently prescribe statins.
Higher LDL. Longer life. The data has been there since 2020.

Dr Aseem Malhotra. 25 years as an interventional cardiologist. 35 randomised control trials reviewed.
He no longer lowers LDL in any of his patients.

There are zero studies on earth that can inform on cardiovascular risk. Not one. Risk requires experimental cause and effect. That study cannot ethically be done on humans.

Two red flags per Professor Bart Kay. One: "trust the science" means stop asking questions. Two: anyone claiming diet causes risk of any health outcome does not understand science. His words: incompetent buffoon, irrespective of credentials.

Fat alone is not the problem. Sugar alone causes glycation. The combination of fat and carbs competing for the same mitochondrial pathway is where the damage starts. Randle cycle. Fat in your blood is not the issue. Sugar in your blood is.

Five meta-analyses. Multimillion person years of follow-up. No link between saturated fat and heart disease. So they shifted to cholesterol. No causal evidence there either.

Plaque is not cholesterol. It is clotting factors and scar tissue. A scab on the artery wall. Sickle cell patients have 50,000 times greater heart disease risk. Not from cholesterol. From red blood cells physically cutting the endothelium.

Fats and carbs both convert to acetyl coenzyme A to enter the Krebs cycle. One bottleneck. Two fuels fighting through it at once. The fat is not the problem. The carbohydrates are. Professor Bart Kay's analogy: two fat men in a revolving door.

The moment a doctor uses the word risk without stating the study can't inform on individual risk, the conversation is over. That's almost everybody. Association is not causation. It never was. https://t.co/bRowKbUNE5

A client messaged today after a blood test. His doctor was pushing statins hard.
Bart's position is that pretty much irrespective of your cholesterol reading, as long as it is not off the scale low, your level is exactly what your genes determined it should be.
Dr Sarah Myhill explains in this clip that melatonin is synthesised inside the mitochondria and functions as their most critical antioxidant. Energy generation produces free radicals as a byproduct, exhaust fumes in her words.

Seed oils do not just cause inflammation. They alter the physical structure of your cell membranes at the molecular level.

The standard Western diet, loaded with processed carbs, fats, seed oils, and high fructose corn syrup, is identified as the worst human diet. Its damaging effects are undeniable.

Doctor says my vitamin D is too high every time I get blood work. I haven't been ill in 10 years. Dr. Sarah Myhill has done the same for 35 years. Managing a reference range is not the same as managing your health. Full episode: https://t.co/AeB7buJHc1
Dr. Ian Lake. Type 1 diabetic. GP. Ketogenic for 15+ years. Fasted 5 days while running 20 miles daily. Blood sugar stable. Insulin dose unchanged. That is what fat adaptation does. Dr. Sarah Myhill on The Keto Pro Podcast with Richard Smith. https://t.co/AeB7buJHc1.
