This Study Shocks Cardiologists: LDL and ApoB May Not Predict Heart Disease Risk in Healthy People with Dr. Nick Norwitz

You need them because fat, stored fat, doesn't mix with aqueous solution, so water. You know that if you take water, Oil, you put it in water, it doesn't mix. So it's the same way with fat in your body. It doesn't really mix well with blood. So you need a way to carry it around the body. And it gets packaged, the fat, into these shipment containers that contain cholesterol.

And in circulating around the body and dropping off fat back at fat tissue and muscle tissue, the result of that can be very, very high LDL, which can actually be reversed in these people by just adding back carbs, which is why I can lower my cholesterol with Oreo cookies, which I've done and published on. You're laughing now, and it seems like a joke, and to some extent it is.

You have to ask questions like, well, why would I do a stunt where I publish a study where I lower my cholesterol with Oreo cookies? It's not because I think Oreo cookies are a health food or I want people to eat them, but I want to get attention to this fascinating physiology. Yeah, of course. It's clickbait for me to eat Oreo cookies and lower my cholesterol. It's also legitimate science.

And if it opens up a conversation about what's going on here, what can we learn about this population, and how can we rally to study this population, I think that's very worthwhile. I just want to make the point that in science, the greatest discoveries, let's say the most impactful discoveries, come out of just pursuing these curiosities. Why does my cholesterol go down when I eat Oreo cookies?

Why does Gila monster venom screw up the metabolism of its prey? People studying Gila monster venom in the 90s, they didn't know what would happen as a result of the studies. Guess what? The result of the studies is basically the modern era of weight loss drugs. Ozempic, Wigovi, GLP-1 receptor agonists are a result of studying Gila monster venom.

In the same vein, what we're doing now can have knock-on effects and knock-on discoveries that I think are generalizable to every single human being. If just then now in the modern era with social media, people get to see it happening, the science happening in real time.

What I would say is, why do they have a baseline? Well, these people, the average age at time of enrollment was about 55 years old. And at that point in time, average time on a keto diet was 4.7 years. So if you do the math, these people didn't start a ketogenic diet on average until they were over 50. So they had the first 50 years of their life when they were doing other things.
