@DrNadolsky What do these people eat? SAD?

@grok @rgpinrr @IM_Crit_ @American_Heart But just like DJT I’m never stopping my baby aspirin.

[Ketovore XRunner 🏃‍♀️ @dnarunner]

@IM_Crit_ @American_Heart Baby aspirin may not be recommended for everyone anymore, but many people who stop taking it end up having a heart attack, stroke, stent, bypass surgery, or develop atrial fibrillation and then find themselves on much more expensive medications like Xarelto, Eliquis, etc

@nicknorwitz My only question is, how do you make enough money to pay off all that education?

Nick Norwitz Reveals Why High Cholesterol Doesn't Cause Heart Disease

In this episode of Stay Off My Operating Table, @nicknorwitz breaks down why the medical world has been treating cholesterol as the disease itself and why that's dead wrong. One extraordinary case of a patient with sky-high LDL and zero arterial plaque is challenging the entire conventional model of heart disease. If you think managing your cholesterol numbers means you're managing your heart health, this conversation will change the way you think.

A Harvard study just proved a man can carry LDL cholesterol of 700 for seven years and have zero plaque in his arteries.

Zero. Not a single cubic millimeter.

My LDL was 110 when I had my heart attack at 52. Normal. Optimal by every guideline.

He had LDL 700 with clean arteries. I had LDL 110 and nearly died.

If LDL caused heart disease, his arteries would be destroyed and mine would be clean.

The opposite happened.

Something is very wrong with the cholesterol story.

🚨New Paper: "Seven Years of 700 Cholesterol Without Coronary Atherosclerosis: A Lean Mass Hyper-Responder Case Report"

Link: https://t.co/5VnRpZlFdR

For the past 7 years, I’ve been running what is essentially a natural experiment in cholesterol and heart health.

During that time, I’ve largely lived with:

👉Total cholesterol around 700 mg/dl
👉LDL cholesterol between 500–600 mg/dL

I recently underwent advanced coronary CT angiography imaging with AI-guided analysis. This is not a CAC. It measures all plaque (soft + calcified), with expert interpretation and AI-guided analysis capable of quantifying plaque down to the cubic millimeter (mm3).

Now, to address the obvious question:

Am I too young for plaque?

In brief: No.

The clearest comparison is individuals with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, who often have similarly extreme LDL/ApoB levels and can develop advanced plaque as toddlers, and even heart attacks as early as age 8.

Also, nutrition influencers in their 30s have publicly shared quantified plaque scores from these same imaging technologies. In one recent case, a plant-based influencer in his thirties was found to have 61.3 mm³ of plaque despite having far lower lifetime LDL exposure. (He can identify himself if he so chooses.)

My case also isn’t a one-off.

There are many individuals like me, including older individuals with similar LDL-C and ApoB without any plaque.

The difference is that I’m an unusually well-characterized subject, with extensive metabolic data and health markers tracked over time. You can learn more at the newsletter or open-access paper, linked above.

The science of heart health is not settled. And cholesterol is not a simple story.

@DrBPHealth At least I have a good Chol/HDLC ratio. 😭

[Tanning Salon Don @TheSalonDon]

OBGYN just told my wife to go on SSRIs during pregnancy

I asked if there’s studies she can show to make us comfortable

She said she doesn’t sit around reading medical literature but 70% of her patients are on them while pregnant

We have a health crisis in America

I love stories like this. My mother-in-law has had high cholesterol her entire life, yet at 95 she’s still cooking, cleaning, and driving like she’s decades younger.

[Cary Kelly @CaryKelly11]

My mom as well.

She made it longer (77) but the doctors raved about her low cholesterol levels not too long before she died.

She did everything they told her to do and she still ended up on a heart surgeon's operating table.

I couldn't get her to eat fatty meat and stop taking those damn statins. She would just change the subject every time I brought it up.

@JillSAnthony @Gone2China The prime ribeyes at Costco are phenomenal! We’ve only bought them once, but they’re so big my husband and I can easily split one; and they’re incredible. Still cheaper than going out.

If I want a good ribeye, I grab the rib roasts from Aldi for about $8.99/lb instead of $19.99

@WhiteHouse @FLOTUS Happy Birthday!

[Ketovore XRunner 🏃‍♀️ @dnarunner]

@noahkaufmanmd I really appreciate professionals like you who stay apolitical.

I don’t think teachers, doctors, and others in those roles should use their platform for politics.

At work, I keep my political views private.

I love your new project and have really enjoyed following your work!

[Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11]

Assassination culture is spreading on the left. Forty-eight percent of liberals say it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk. Fifty-five percent said the same about Donald Trump.

In California, activists are naming ballot measures after Luigi Mangione.

The left is being whipped into a violent frenzy. Any setback, whether losing an election or losing a court case, justifies a maximally violent response.

This is the natural outgrowth of left-wing protest culture tolerating violence and mayhem for years on end. The cowardice of local prosecutors and school officials have turned the left into a ticking time bomb.

I wasn’t happy when Clinton, Obama or Biden won, but I didn’t call them fascist/dangerous/threat to democracy. I didn’t hope someone would assassinate them. I went on with my life with gratitude. Friends on the left, please try this. Your life and our country will be better.
