would raise LDL and that's increasing your risk of cardiovascular disease, that doesn't make sense to me either. So we end up with this whole kind of just real confusing story, right? Where we've been told, we knew 120 years ago that animal fats were great, right? People that eat animal fats, they're vibrant, their skin looks good, they're fertile, they have libido.

Then seed oils come on the scene. They're cheaper, they're shelf-stable, and they lower cholesterol. And now we're being told to fear cholesterol. And there's some sinister things in there I can also tell you about the American Heart Association. But we're being told to fear cholesterol when cholesterol is not the problem.

And there are actually some interesting studies that have been published very recently showing that people who have higher cholesterol, in some cases very high cholesterol, and that are insulin sensitive don't have increased rates of cardiovascular disease at all. They have actually lower than a regular cohort. So this study is so important, I'll just highlight it for you.

It's from Dave Feldman and Matt Budoff. It's called the Keto Study, I believe. They published the first part of the study, I think in 2024, and they took people on a ketogenic diet. Now, sometimes people on a ketogenic diet, because you're doing fat-based metabolism, see LDL go up. But generally people doing a ketogenic diet, which is low carb, are not eating seed oils.

They're not eating processed food. They're pretty insulin sensitive as a group. So they looked at a group of 80 people in this cohort who have average cholesterol, average LDL cholesterol. I think the average LDL was 273 milligrams per deciliter. So very high LDL and corresponding LDL-C. And they looked at them and they did CT coronary angiography. Matt Budoff is one of the coauthors.

He's a CT coronary angiographer. He's preeminent in his field, a very well-respected radiologist. And what they found when they compared that to a cohort from Miami who had an average LDL cholesterol of 123 was that the two groups had the same amount of plaque in their arteries.

one group has more than double the amount of cholesterol the other group has you know but they have the same amount of plaque and the group on the keto group actually was trending toward less fat, less fat in the arteries, less atherosclerosis. And so people might say, but they still had atherosclerosis. Well, yeah, you don't know what they did before, right?
