There was a lot of controversy.

It turned out that those hundred people that they measured had massive increase in plaque, soft plaque in particular, higher than even at-risk groups like diabetics that were in other studies that were there.

And I've addressed that with a few other people and I've written some newsletters about my thoughts about it.

So,

From chatting with my own cardiologist, I was always borderline about whether or not I believed that.

Okay, maybe there's some truth to it.

And the reason that I thought there was truth is I went and got an advanced CCTA done through a company called Clearly, no affiliation.

And I had one of the cleanest hearts that my cardiologist had seen for a male.

I think it was the second cleanest.

And I had basically no soft plaque, the tiniest little soft plaque that was there, and no calcified heart plaque that was there.

So I kind of was like...

drinking the Kool-Aid.

Okay, LDL doesn't matter that much.

I guess that's why I have such a clean heart is that it's protective because it's metabolic health.

I was drinking the Kool-Aid, but I was still on the fence a little bit about it.

And now since the controversy has come out about the study and chatting a little bit more,

And even being with my cardiologist and being on azetamide for the last two years, I really feel that high LDL and ApoB over the course of the long haul in somebody's life is shots on goal.

And just like not everybody who smokes gets heart disease or cancer, but on average they will.

there will be people that have maybe a genetic anomaly, or maybe it was because I had so much fiber in my diet and I was younger and my LDL was probably lower because I was vegan, but I was eating a lot of vegetables and I didn't do a lot of damage then.

There's so many factors that play into it.
