@CheapSushi Ha! Ha! Yep. Dr Paul Mason. Brilliant Courageous young man. So far apparently no repercussions from the Australian medical heirachy. GoodOnya!!!!!! From Australia
It even goes back further than the 1970's. In the 1940's the Procter and Gamble company donated millions to the American heart association to say animal fats were bad and that people should start frying in their Crisco trans fats. The women at the time were frying in what we now know was healthy fats such as pig lard and butter, and were resistant to buy the Crisco shortening. Big food also discovered that the partially hydrogenated oil was a preservative, and started putting it in food to make their shelf life longer. Before partially hydrogenated oil was invented in 1911, women cooked with animal fats and heart disease didn't exist. When they invented partially hydrogenated oil, they invented heart disease.
I have eaten 5 or more large egg yolks, one small can of sardines and low carb every day for 5 years. Now, I am 66 years old, with low but normal blood pressure, and with healthy weight.
The person who should be "punished" is Dr Mason if he's really telling his patients that pattern A LDL particles are "benign". He's flat out wrong and giving dangerous advice.
How can this video have so few views. It should be viral and in the millions. Doctors that I've seen have hardly had a clue about the actual details behind cholesterol and the statins they want to prescribe, yet the truths are clearly detailed here. This has really helped me connect the dots after years of trying to figure it out!
Because most people don't have the attention span of anything beyond six minutes. They require bullet point simplicity, spoon fed highlights and have no interest in understanding the depth or methodology.
This is the first time I have ever heard anyone actually explain how and why atherosclerosis happens. Thank you for a wonderful and clear presentation.
This is a weak point in the talk. No doubt that macrophages and LDL are involved but I have heard other explanations of the mechanism whereby the blood vessels contract and harden. Still, the root of the problem is the Pattern B LDL so that is the main point here.
Many of them, like Ancel Keys, who was perhaps the most responsible for the upside-down dietary recommendations, are dead. Governments and corporations tend to protect individuals from the consequences of their actions. Then again... the first significant damages from Monsanto* were awarded in court for exposure to glyphosate... Around $285 million in exchange for lethal cancer, if memory serves. It remains to be seen if the cancer patient actually collects, or if this goes like the Valdez, where Exxon spent as much or more than the awarded amount to stall having to pay. Like the tobacco industry, it was revealed that Monsant knew that RoundUp herbicide caused cancer, and other health issues, while it was claiming it's best selling product was safe. Years ago, Monsanto even said it was suitable for organic farming and gardening!! Now glyphosate is found in most foods, breast milk, even RAIN! And the so-called 'inert ingredients' in Round Up may be more toxic than the glyphosate. *In violation of our laws intended to prevent any one company/corporation from becoming too large and powerful, Monsanto was recently allowed to be aqcuired by/merge with Bayer. This makes it a multi-national corporation. Monsanto already conducted itself as though it was above the law; but multi-national corporations are loyal to which nation? Oh, and Bayer (under a former name) was one of the companies that profited from the slave labor provided by the concentration camps of WWII.
billytheweasel The whole point of this is depopulation and control. The elites are above the law (not morally, they just happen to control everything), so it’s impossible to stop them.
Voters should stop voting for politicians willing to push this sort of evidence-free policy on them. Then it would end. But voters insist on ignoring the irrationality of government and shifting blame onto anyone else.
Brilliant presentation.. thank you ! You and Dr Ford Brewer are quite literally saving lives .. my husband is a 2 heart attack survivor who has fully embraced what you guys teach and is doing great .. fit , healthy, lean with great test/scan results .. and it is all down to you guys and others who are getting this vital lifesaving info out there .
@@ivailoivanov01 Sandra Westley if you watch his videos he’s saying the opposite to what you’ve just said, I have just watched it, that is the 1970 outlook, outdated I have done that for years it doesn’t work.
@@ivailoivanov01 that is true. The laws of thermodynamics imply this, just like how the first law of biology state that humans follow the laws of thermodynamics. HOWEVER, it is wrong to say that biological factors such as hormones don't play a part in affecting weight, just like how it's also wrong to say that the laws of thermodynamics does not affect weight. In diets such as fasting or keto, a calorie deficit is already given.
The process of introducing saturated fat into one's diet, is one of cognitive dissonance. One is forced to critically question previous information once thought to be true and better for your health. I am grateful for the information presented in these Low Carb Down Under lectures.
We're no longer on blood thinner and statins for almost 2 years. We ditched the table salt and Canola and switched to Himalayan salt and virgin coconut oil. Supplemented with magnesium glycinate, Omega 3 fish oil, Vit. C, and avoiding processed food. We avoid eating out as much as we can as well.
@@wellyforpm All are NaCl with some poisonous impurities. Go for a pure NaCl substitute that contains 40-50% KCl, MgCl and some iodine for the best results. It’s not less Na you need, but more K.
Himalayan salt sounds romantic but doesn't come from the Himalayas but from the middle east in caves. No better than ordinary rock salt but great for making pretty pink lamps.
Himalayan Salt is the biggest marketing gimic ever because most does not come from the Himalayas. Fleur de Sel from France and Celtic Sea Salts that are hand harvested and dried way better.
i live in romania, we have a huge heart problem ight now. my father is 55 and more that half of his school classmated died of heart disease. I was talking one day with my very old grandma and i asked her if she remembers when she was young people diyng of heart disease and to my surprise she told me she did't even heard about it at the time. Now consider this, where i live is northern romania we had long and cold winters and in my grandma time the way to store food was in fat in salt or to pickle it or dairy (cheese). so they are a huge ammount of fats even lots of saturated ones. now that people consume lots of refined sugars and oils we have a huge problem. My dad had a collesterol problem when i was younger, i don' eat processed food and we have land so we decided to keep sheep and that became ou main protein source, sheep meat is very very fat and my dad now somehow eating fat sheep meat has colesterol at good levels.
Outstanding presentation. I'll be watching that a few times until it really sinks in. The most important message for me was that high LDL is only dangerous in the presence of high insulin (insulin resistance). When insulin is high, Apo B100 on the surface of LDL is glycosylated and no longer recognized by the liver for clearance from the bloodstream. When insulin is low, Apo B100 remains unglycosylated and the LDL where it resides is cleared from the bloodstream by the liver. That's a really important concept to get your arms around. If the liver can't clear the LDL from the bloodstream, it gets entangled with macrophages in blood vessel walls and begins to cause arteriosclerosis.
EXACTLY! This is why people with VERY low LDL also end up having cardio vas diseases as they don't change diet and continue to take a high glucose diet which glycosylates LDL surface and finally it gets entangled with macrophages. This is the same reason why STATINS DON'T WORK, as they only lower cholesterol COUNT and doesn't target the root cause!
look for Robert Lustig's, he proved the cause of insulin resistance as well. Turns out it's not the glucose that's the problem, it's the fructose (and sucrose).
This is something I have been wrapping my head around recently, given my very shocking lab results, that I am realizing shouldn't have been that shocking after all. This goes against everything I have been practicing for the last 11 years, and yet it makes a lot of sense....and I'm feeling so much better already. I thought I was so healthy......
Just curious, have you changed your diet following this advice, and seen any difference in your blood test results? I’ve been gradually moving in this direction over the past five or six years, giving up most carbs and sugar, but haven’t really changed much on the oils side.
My thoughts are the point is hunger I was so hungry all my life and my brain telling me to eat all day long until I went to bed. Then I found keto and it took away that thought of hunger all day by being satiated by fat eating in the keto ratios of the diet fixed that and much more. I had high cholesterol but keto fixed that after 3 years I have lost 100 lbs and feel great want to loose 30 pound more but that is a bit harder the last of what I need to loose. I go to a doctor that looked at me funny when I told him i was doing keto he had no idea what it was and told me should not eat that fat...Hmmm i proved him wrong last 2 years my blood work was within all normal levels....Ya Keto, I will keto on. oh and my depression and crazy thoughts in my head stopped talking to me my microbiom has been silenced. Gut is the second brain like that doctor hundreds of years ago said. I know not for everyone but for many could work. I am 58
I'm having the same experience in regards to hunger signals. Been a carb addict my whole life. Never overweight, always very active, but now have prediabetic morning blood sugars in my 50ties. Low carb for the past month is fixing this, plus I'm now satiated on good fats. On my way to healing! 🙂
26:37 - On the graph comparing the composition of common sources of fat, note that the percentage of Omega 3 shown as the average in butter is for industrial-style dairy farms where cows have little or no access to pasture, and are feed diets high in grains and seeds (especially soy). The Omega 3 content of the milk of certified organic 100% 'grassfed' dairy - no grain ever - was compared to the Omega 3 content of milk from certified organic dairies in the area that also fed grain & soy. along with pasture access during the growing season. The Omega 3 content of the regular organic milk was significantly higher than what was found in the milk of cows from 'conventional' industrial-style farms. The Omega 3 content of the 100% grassfed milk from cows on an all-forage diet was 7 TIMES higher. Lard, like beef tallow, from hogs fed rations high in grains and other seeds will similarly have higher Omega 6 levels and lower Omega 3 levels than lard, and pork, from swine fed a more natural and varied diet. 50+ years ago, a lot of pork was still being produced on the land, foraging in marginal areas, being moved to grain fields after harvest to clean up the dropped grain, and fed vegetables and fruits that were not in good enough condition to be sold for human food. Milk, skim milk, and whey, where available, was fed to growing and 'finishing' pigs, too. Some let the pigs harvest peanut fields themselves. (Some people still find peanuts suitable only to fuel diesel engines and/or as hog feed.)
Very good comments - I might actually consider eating a french fry once a year if it were to be cooked in organic tallow/lard. Until then, never. Do you know, when Dr. Mason was talking about emulsifiers, if dairy that is not labeled "raw" is considered highly processed and/or with emulsifiers? Luckily we can buy organic raw again in my area, albeit at a high cost, but worth it.
Great information but not much use in the supermarket as omega 6:omega 3 ratios can’t be seen or worked out on a packet of butter or lard. Don’t be fooled by ‘organic’ either. That just means the grain used to fatten the animal was organic. You need to do a lot of research to find 100% grass-fed animal products.
Great work Doc. My mother gained a little weight so set course for a low fat diet things like light yogurt no fat full of sugar a prime example why her health was ravaged, she gained more weight had thyroid issues and joint pain who do i sue for telling her this diet would help her be healthy. She still resists fat even thought i helped her eat real foods and sneak olive oil ,butter and coconut oil into everything i cook for her and since the change her health has improved ten fold.
There is an old saying, 'Follow the money.' Please see the article on www.Mercola.com about the INCORRECT information against coconut oil. One of the problems with the info is that they are saying coconut oil is bad because it contains saturated fats, and the American Heart Assoc* and thereby the gov't officials (under pressure from and/or revolving between jobs in industry that profits from selling seed ('vegetable') oils) have refused to look at the real research that shows humans are healthier on real fats from animals, and coconuts. (They rail against saturated fat, but fail to acknowledge that animal fats also contain unsaturated fat, and margarine contains some saturated fat! Folks, this is not about science!) Another issue is that the tiny bit of research they chose to pay attention to was done with hydrogenated coconut oil- even though the officials finally got around to acknowledging that hydrogenated oils are harmful. *A tiny little groups of doctors before Proctor & Gamble gave them millions to demonize animal fats, so they could offer their Crisco as a supposedly 'healthier' alternative. Originally made from cottonseed oil, it was partially hydrogenated to make it solid for use in candle and soap making. Once the light bulb was invented, they needed a new market - so they began marketing the candle and soap ingredient as a lard substitute. Seed oils, cleverly but deceptively marketed as 'vegetable', were originally used as machine lubricants. Rudolf Diesel designed his engine to run on peanut oil (not actually a nut, but a legume).
We should compile a list of dietary tricks to get loved ones to eat less carbs, more protein and sufficient fat. I suggest raspberries as a pudding as she loves them, but serve them with Greek yoghurt and pecans. Instantly a hidden 10g protein and about 15g of quality fats!👍. Homemade pesto (olive oil and Parmesan) on the roast chicken does a good job too.
I have O.A. its bad in knees . I went on keto to loose weight and get healthy . Iv lost 60lb it did help knee pain. I cant exersise but still lost the weight. I love keto and will continue on it all my life. I Hope no knee replacements.
Are you able to swinn? That is a great way to exercise and move the body without stressing the joints. Gentle movement, like Tai Chi, is also helpful. It isn't really exercise, but it helps the circulation of blood, lymph, and the fascia (newly discovered to do more than just help hold us together). Good luck!
Jefferdaughter no cant swim knees move to much. Tai Chi I'm not sure but I'll look into that I did buy a vibration plate that's supposed to be like running. Thank you for the information and by the way it's November 2018 now and I have lost 75 lb total going to try long-term fasting to see if that helps been looking into it.
tohopes Yes I use CBD oil for pain relief collagen of fish beef chicken uc ll and MSM calcium from food sorce vt D3vit E vt k2 glucosamine and chondroitin if they say it's for joints I tried it
@@KetoMama777 - That's rough. Of course moderate exercize is beneficial, but it really does not help weight loss, in spite of what so many people think. Glad you have been able to lose the weight you wanted to and get healthy anyway. Sure hope you can find something that helps your body to heal those knees! If the cartilage is the problem, it has no circulation, and relies on movement of the joint to help those cells bring in nutrients and get rid of cellular waste products. Movement also helps, blood and lymph circulation, of course, if you can move those joints at all. Take care, and best of luck!!
I had dry cracked skin on the back of my hands when I didn't eat saturated fats, the moment I started going back to my high fat breakfast my skin began to look more healthy the next day, I don't need to moisturize it, I use the state of my skin as a marker, if I'm getting enough saturated fats or not. My skin feels very smooth, flexible and it glows.
@Alex It's a fact however that you are what you eat. We are made of meat and fat. And saturated fat has always been a darn good part of the human diet. It sounds so corny to say "you are what you eat" but you soon find out how sick you can get if you eat badly.
I found the thing that has surprised most people is they have gone from scatter-brained to completely calm and relaxed when they remove carbs from their diet.
Yup, this has happened to me. Inadvertently cut most carbs out of my diet a week ago in an attempt to stop eating so much bread and pasta. My depression and anxiety has completely disappeared, I can wake up every morning feeling fully rested, which I haven’t been able to do for 15 years and I’m never hungry.
We are very fortunate in the British Isles that most of our cattle are raised on pasture in the traditional way. The climate and terrain is very well-suited for it since most of England is just fields and grassy hills, so during the warmer months cattle spend nearly all of their time eating grass, as do sheep. In winter, the cows generally don't prefer to be outside, so they often eat silage (preserved green vegetation, you often see the bales of it in plastic bags in fields) or some other feed (could be corn since it's cheap). This means in the summer months UK or Irish beef is pretty much guaranteed to be grass fed. In winter it might not technically be "finished" on grass, although it will have spent a lot of its life eating grass. In the US and South America the cattle ranches are generally cleared land and then they are fed on corn (often mixed with hormones and antibiotics). I personally would never eat beef from America unless it explicitly said it was grass fed.

Boil it all down - if your triglycerides are high (caused by consumption of sugars - grains, breads, cereals, fruit, starches, sugar, pasta, sodas, etc.) and/or your HDL is low, you are at higher risk for atherosclerosis, heart attack, stroke and more. Goal: Forget statins. Instead, lower your triglycerides toward 60, raise your HDL toward 60, thus lowering your trigs/HDL ratio into 1.0-1.5x range. To accomplish that (strategy) avoid all seed oils, grains, breads, cereals, fruit, starches, sugar, pasta, sodas, etc. Thus, you'll be eating no processed foods, only real foods like meats, fish, eggs, greens, cheeses, butter, olive oil - you know, the stuff your great-grandparents ate into their 90s....
I’m a keto/low carb recipe creator and I love doing so coz I believe in it and eat like this every day and wouldn’t change it for anything in the world
Dr Mason, could you explain this: at 11:00 diagram shows that 5-year _survival_ rate was only 75% for pattern A LDL cholesterol, and 88% for pattern B LDL (please note "Survival %" at vertical axis). I found the original paper ("Association of low-density lipoprotein pattern with mortality after myocardial infarction: Insights from the TRIUMPH study", Yashashwi Pokharel et al.) and it says "Pattern B was independently associated with lower risk for all-cause death than A". You seem to state the opposite. Could you please comment?
i read from other comments that He had mistakenly mislabeled the oxidized cholesterol and non oxidized cholesterol, basically switched the labels around Pattern B is large and non oxidized LDL, while pattern A is small dense oxidized LDL
@@juhotuho10 That is what I thought at first also, bu that is not what the study concluded. You can look the results up online. The title is in the slide. People with pattern A (large, fluffy) were at significantly higher risk of dying compared to pattern B (small dense). He is claiming the opposite. Either he's just wrong or I'm crazy and don't understand what I'm reading.
Exactly! I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed. Also: 12:16 "If we assume that Pattern B is bad, which the data clearly suggests it is" The data suggests that both Pattern A and Pattern B are bad, if 12-25% of the participants died after 5 years. And Pattern A seems twice as bad as Pattern B to me. This would make the statement at 12:40 "High LDL cholesterol, but safe" even worse. Please tell me that I have a lapse of judgement, otherwise I am honestly questioning his credibility and ability as a doctor.
I checked the study abstract, it cleary says the opposite of what Dr. Mason lectures here, A and B are NOT swapped. However it also says "..after adjusting for important patient and treatment characteristics. We additionally adjusted for LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglyceride levels and used directly measured LDL-C and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol as exposures..." (they observed of 2476 patients). The adjustments are not explained so I guess we can't tell if this study indicates anything at all. 🤷♂
I should have known earlier cuz both of my grandparents who emigrated here from Soviet Russia in the late 40s ate tons of saturated fat and both of them lived to be nearly 100. Beef, Pork, Eggs, Fish, Chicken, cucumbers or Borscht with a bunch of sour cream, along with mashed potatoes and gravy loaded with butter.
I believe we take these kind of stories as facts, without thinking it through. I heard the same story in my own country, but what it doesn't tell is that many of the people in the past were religious and were fasting according to the Orthodox calendar. This alone accounts for more than 200 days of fasting in a year. Also, meat was expensive and hence not consumed daily up to 40-50 years ago. Most people were eating meat once-twice a week and the rest vegetables, legumes, whole grains and dairy products.
10:23 Seems like it reports the SURVIVAL rate in a 5-year follow-up after myocardial infarction, not the death rate. "After 5 years, most people had died", he stated? Please tell me I'm missing something?
I know it will feel like i'm oversimplifying things but please eat your eggs, meat, chicken and ofc your vegies everyday. Try to make your meals with extra virgin olive oil. Also eat couple of olives everyday and do like at least 10 minutes of walk everyday and your sport. This diet really helped me a lot. Eat healthy and stay on the move guys.
Dear Colleague, at min 11 we can see on the grafics that the survivalratio (y-ax) for pattern A =75% and for pattern B=90%; this means that pattern b has better outcome (also mentionned in the Triumph study); this is contradictionnary from what you said
The counter-intuitive research finding (that Pattern B has better outcomes than Pattern A) is discussed at the end of the original paper under "Strengths and Limitations". See link below. A diffcult read but the point is that the paper's findings refers to subjects after a heart attack. Conclusions about the rest of the population can't be drawn. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5698121/
At 10:24 "After five years, most people had died. You can see, the mortality here in the group that had the pattern B was almost 90% after five years." The graph shows survival, not mortality, and survival is better for Pattern B. Mortality is not 100% immediately following a heart attack, and then decreases!
You are right: Obviously, mortality for B is not "90 %". B pattern has the lowest mortality. The study says: " Compared with LDL pattern A, pattern B was significantly associated with reduced all-cause and non-CV mortalities with a trend for lower CV mortality." (Association of Low Density Lipoprotein Pattern with Mortality after Myocardial Infarction: Insights from the TRIUMPH Study)
@@davepeterschmidt5818 No, not reversed. According to the study: "In 2476 patients hospitalized for MI, LDL pattern (A [large, buoyant], A/B [mixed], and B [small, dense]) was established by ultracentrifugation using Vertical Auto Profile." In the conclusion: "Compared with LDL pattern A, pattern B was significantly associated with reduced all-cause and non-CV mortalities with a trend for lower CV mortality after MI, independent of LDL-C and triglycerides." So that particular study actually says, pattern B was associated with reduced mortality after myocardial infarction. Kinda flies directly in the face of what is being said here and I'd love to see that addressed. [Study: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29050980]
Oh yeah........but isn't truth like velvet, though? How they despise us -we win when we see through their shenanigans and dodge their constant bullets of destruction and at the same time not let it get to us.
I have been bone on bone in right knee for over 10 years, and now do not need painkillers to sleep or go about my daily activities like yoga, etc. If I violate the food guidelines, like eat two slices of pizza, or 3 pieces of sugary fruit, then in about 5 hours it feels like somebody is picking at the bone on bone spot with tweezers, inside my knee, and also the pain level goes up to about a 5 from less than a 1. I do also take many supplements, and the one that helps the most is UCII. But no supplement will prevent the impact of eating high glycemic foods. My suspicion is that this applies to many other people, but they do not realize that the foods they are eating are the direct cause of so much pain. Marcel Karperien, of the Netherlands, is leading a group that has a hydrogel that is testing well in horses to replace the cartilage: "The product, which consists of a hydrogel, is almost ready for human use. Since last year, it has extensively been tested on horses, because the intervention by means of keyhole surgery on these animals hardly differs from the intervention on humans. Furthermore, the gel will also be used in veterinary medicine for the treatment of osteoarthritis in pets.Karperien says that the results from these animal studies are so promising that testing on humans may start as early as the second half of 2018." There may be updates on the progress more recent than the 2017 publication I came across (www.utoday.nl/science/64144/the-cure-for-osteoarthritis)
The y axis is survival %. I am confused to why you say it's "mortality %" The interpretation is inverted? If they started the graph at 100% mortality then there wouldn't be anyone left alive to continue the study to 5 years.
He was definitely wrong there, but if you look at the specific study, you would see it wouldn't matter anyway. There were big distribution differences (more pattern A individuals), different age groups, and people on stations and other cholesterol lowering drugs. Couple that with the fact that this is a group of people who just had a heart attack, it likely makes it less applicable to heathy people. The difference in CV death was 1 out of 100 vs 2.4 out of 100 people... I would hate to be that 1.4th person, but the difference in risk is pretty small and may be caused by something else.
I spotted that as well. It is clear from the downward slope that this must be a survival axis. So pattern A was the worst, tbe opposite of what Paul was saying. Maybe he mislabelled the A and B lines. Maybe ldl patterns A and B are not standardisef.
Obviously, mortality for B is not "90 %". B pattern has the lowest mortality. The study says: " Compared with LDL pattern A, pattern B was significantly associated with reduced all-cause and non-CV mortalities with a trend for lower CV mortality." (Association of Low Density Lipoprotein Pattern with Mortality after Myocardial Infarction: Insights from the TRIUMPH Study). - A Kaplan-Meier estimator was used.
@@christopherturner1547 Something doesn’t add up. The paper is saying the results show that people with damaged ldl particles live longer than people with no damaged ldl particles. That is counter-intuitive to say the least and should lead to everyone trying to damage their ldl as a protective measure! I think not a good plan. Methinks that something else is going on. Maybe the study team’s use of data correction needs to be analysed for skulduggery?
@@davidthoreau6353 Yep, I've read it too. Researchers are actually surprised about the outcome and claiming that the paradox could be explained by the mere fact that this is epidemiological study, not an RCT. Still, it was strange to inctude this study in the slides.
I think Dr. Mason's interpretation of the survival diagram in the cited paper at 10:22 is totally wrong: the y-axis is labeled with % survival (not mortality, as Dr. Mason says). The x-axis is the time after myocardial infarction in months. Dr. Mason: "After 5 years most people had died." ?????, that's not what this diagram says. In fact, it says that ca. 88% of the patients with pattern B and 75% with pattern A had survived. The authors of the cited paper write in their conclusion: "Compared with LDL pattern A, pattern B was significantly associated with reduced all-cause and non-CV mortalities with a trend for lower CV mortality after MI, independent of LDL-C and triglycerides." So their "pattern B" is the healthier one, which is consistent with the diagram. The authors have another publication (Circulation. 2018;134: A19135) with the title: "Small, Dense LDL Has Protective Association for Long-Term Mortality After Myocardial Infarction Compared With Large, Buoyant LDL Particles: Insights From the TRIUMPH Study". They write in their conclusion: "Contrary to our hypothesis, patients with small, dense LDL have lower long-term mortality after MI than those with large, buoyant LDL particles, irrespective of treatment. Future research is needed to understand this paradoxical finding." So my conclusion is: Beware of the confirmation bias!!! (I'm prone to it myself.)
Thanks for your comment. One note: The Conclusion the authors write does not always match the data they include in the rest of the paper. Sometimes they will state, as in the example you provided, that 'the results were not as expected', and then some version of more study is needed... or there must have been some confounding factor they were unaware of... or the results were skewed because of a small sample size... or the like. However, I have seen several conclusions that made me wonder if the authors had read their own paper. Since many will see only the abstract of many research papers, and the conclusion is generally included in the abstract, many people will get a very different impression of what the results of the study actually were than the conclusion those readers may have reached if they read the entire paper and looked at the data for themselves. Aside from confirmation bias...
Regardless of that study, "According to the current consensus, 2 main phenotypes, A and B, are defined based on plasma LDL profile, with intermediate A/B phenotype lying in between [11]. The phenotype A is characterized by the predominance of large buoyant LDL (lbLDL) and the phenotype B by the predominance of sdLDL [12, 13]. Phenotype B was reported in a number of diseases, including metabolic disorders [14, 15], obesity [16, 17], and type 2 diabetes [18, 19] and is considered as a risk factor of coronary heart disease (CHD). Moreover, this phenotype was associated with the elevated plasma triglyceride (TG) level, reduced HDL cholesterol (HDL-C), and high-hepatic lipase activity [20]. The predominance of sdLDL is currently accepted as a risk factor for CVD by the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEPIII)" www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5441126/
27:28 - 'You don't need to eat fish (or take fish oil) to get Omega 3. Grassfed beef will do fine.' 100% grassfed beef, lamb, etc - and milk, cream, and butter from 100% grassfed cows (or goats, or sheep, or...) are also good sources of Omega 3 fatty acids.
Did you control for types of carbs (insulin spiking vs non-insulin spiking)? Carbs have always been part of the America diet before heart disease was a major problem. Stands to reason we don't need to be low carb to avoid glycation
Absolutely agree with you. But the difference is that people today have already spent years or decades eating highly damaging foods. That damage needs to be reversed (via low carb) before the traditional style of eating will be safe again.
If you eat a sandwich between two pieces of whole wheat bread, your body does not know the difference between the wheat bread or two donuts. It's all sugar to the body. Potatoes spike blood sugar too. See this blood sugar test with Ezekiel bread on RUclips. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/cN99LIhsi84/видео.html
You can probably eat carbs without getting IR, he even shows in the video that IR leads to a higher risk of heart disease. Fasting, and eating a moderate amount of carbs and you'll prob be fine, unless you already have IR.
I only wish we knew how to reverse this damage... I am seriously upset that I had been eating a large carbohydrate diet thinking I was being healthy. I am a little scared. I trust the damage was minimal.
Perfect ! ....Every time I found some video more useful than the previous. So now I know, Food Industry and many other industries (which we may not know either ) , made us toys of their manipulations.
Thank your Dr Paul. You and the other independent thinking docs putting out real data, robust analysis are addressing the root causes of the modern western epidemic of diabetes, cancer and heart disease. Understanding of bio chem is essential for everyone, not just doctors and nutritionists.
At 10:49, when reviewing the Kaplan Meier chart, Dr Mason said that most (90%) of the patients who had a heart attack and had predominantly LDL Pattern B lipoproteins died. However, the vertical axis indicates a survival rate of 75% I am not an expert at the Kaplan Meier chart, but I am confused with how a 75% survival rate after 5 years translates into an interpretation that 90% of the patients had died. Can someone please explain that to me, or direct me to a reference which explains it? The way my untrained eye see it, if the average survival rate of 50% is used as the "expected life" metric, and assuming these patterns continue their more or less linear trajectories, the 50% survival rate for the LDL Pattern B patients is 10 years, while the survival rate for the LDL Pattern A patents is twice that - 20 years.
Yes, I had trouble working out what that one showed too. Not enough info on the diagrams/graphs? Another one had percentages on both the vertical and horizontal so I had no idea which percentage being talked about was supposed to show what. Otherwise though, this vid was excellent.
Hello Dr Mason, There is a new European article released in Nature Medicine titled “Lipidome changes due to improved dietary fat quality inform cardiometabolic risk reduction and precision nutrition”. It pretends that eating saturated fats does increase your chances on getting a hart or cardiovascular disease with 32% and on developing diabetes type2 with 23%. I would like to get your analysis/opinion on this article. Thanks Thomas
Brilliant.Now help me out: what sources of Omega 3 and how to get enough? I already eat beef (but only a small proportion is grass fed because of cost and availability); I already push my carbs and sugar intake down and have increased fats in other areas. But Omega 3 seems so important that it would be helpful to have some sound information on the application.
I would like to see the conversation between this gentleman and another professional on the "saturated fat is bad" side. Not because I waana see a fight but more to hear what they both have to say.
This is far too technical for me, although I usually enjoy Dr. Mason's lectures. I persevered because I love hearing him say "shooga". Can't help it...I'm a Yank.
Maybe you could get in touch with them and offer to do that. Or you could post them in the comments. Many viewers would appreciate that, I'm sure. They are handing us so much value for free, (except for the info on us Google is harvesting by tracking what we watch, when we watch it, and every comment we make...) that asking for them to take on even more work to post the references in the description just seems... unkind.

Yeah it's kind of mad that we don't see more of that. I'm a proponent for no oil low fat whole food diets health. Truth is you can use research to show anything you want to. My issue is that most of the research I've seen which says saturated fats is good is funded by dairy and meat industries so I just don't know what to believe. It's the same ad politics. Industries should not be able to donate to have research done. Or if they do it should not be allowed to be published in peer reviewed journals
@@RJBynon Diabetes is the top listed risk factor for heart disease. Diabetes is literally Insulin Resistance, like he mentioned in the video. The meat industry is factory farms right, then why do all these 'Keto' and health people advise grass fed beef?
Living in the U.S., what type of lipid profile test do you recommend to get a proper breakdown of LDLs. I have an option of an NMR through LabCorp or the Advanced Cardio IQ from QuestLabs?? Please assist.
If you are still looking for answers, check out Ivor Cummin's presentations on RUclips. Dr. Paul Mason has another video here on blood tests, what they mean for those on low carb high fat/keto diets, but you may have to convert the results for the units used in the U.S.A. Cummins cuts to the chase, and speaks in US units.
I agree wholeheartedly on the need to get the omega 6 and 3 ratio balanced, especially by cutting the vegetable oils and increasing oily fish consumption. But I have a question on the slide at 23:11 where we see the conversion of alpha linoleic acid to EPA and DHA. In all the literature I've read, the consensus is that the human body is very inefficient in doing the conversion or even, according to some, totally unable to do the conversion. Which means we absolutely have to consume EPA and DHA since any amount that the body is actually able to produce is far too low to be useful. Am I missing something here?
Great question. That is what I have read also, and have heard other physicians say in presentations. This means we have to get DHA and EPA from animal sources. Yet the proponents of 'plant based' diets always tell us that we can get all the Omega 3s we need from plants. In addition to fish oil, 100% grassfed meats (beef, lamb) and milk may be better sources than we think. The numbers cited in research are always from conventionally raised meat, milk, and butter. Organic milk (though some industrial 'organic' dairies cheat) there is a requirement in USDA organic standards that the cows get at least a certain percentage of their diet from pasture during the growing season. It is not surprising that, like the meat, the Omega 3 content of organic milk is much higher than 'conventional' milk. The milk of a local farm that feeds its cows only pasture and hay - 100% 'grassfed' was tested- and found to have 7 X more Omega 3 than the milk from organic farms in the area that also fed grain and soy. It may also help that the grassfed farm has only Jersey cows, and their milk averages around 5% butterfat. 'Whole' milk in supermarkets is standardized to 3.25% butterfat. Holstein (the black and white dairy cows) herds in the area average around 3.5 to 3.8% butterfat. That percentage goes up on a forage-based diet (pasture, hay, etc) and down with increased feeding of grain/soybeans. The efficiency of the digestion of forages - pastures, dried pasture aka hay, and even fermented pasture plants - drops when cattle, and other ruminants like sheep, goats, etc, are fed grain - since it takes a different set of microbes to digest grains and soybeans than it does to digest pasture plants.
No, you're absolutely right. Conversion of ALA to DHA is highly variable due to sex, genetics and environmental factors, and no individual has any idea how well they are able to perform this conversion. For males, the conversion rates are very low, somewhere between 0-4%, typically about 1%. For women, conversion rates are higher on average, but still highly variable, perhaps about 5-9% for adolescent females, and lower than that, typically for adult women. This is not at all a reliable way of obtaining adequate amounts of DHA for _anyone._
Dr Mason made it seem like damaged LDL actually causes atherosclerosis in healthy arteries. I thought the cause was already sugar-damaged areas in arteries attracting LDL which tries to fix the damage by creating plaque containing calcium and oxidised LDL?
I also wondered about when he said the ldl is not being up taken by liver and being dumped on the scrap heap due to not having a place to go, How does this explain lean mass hyper responders with extremely high LDL. And whether this also needs to be dumped or is in fact, not harmful at all.
So what actually happens with saturated fat in your body when you eat it? For example, carbs generally convert to sugar. Some is stored and some used. What happens to the saturated fat?
It's used for fuel. Your body stops using the carbs for fuel, which will decrease your hunger. Fat burns looong and low. Not like carbs that give you a blood sugar and insulin spike!
My understanding is that unsaturated double bonds in fats are oxidized, causing free radical formation, which damage mitochondria. The higher the number of unsaturated double bonds, the higher the number of free radicals, and the more mitochondrial damage induced disease. If enough mitochondrial damage occurs, the cell dies. If enough cells die, the organism dies. Therefore, oxidative stress causes disease and death.
There would never be debates about saturated fat if it wasnt for the big business called processed foods. Just eat your plants and don't worry about ldl, hdl and stuff we are not designed to worry about.
10:25 He bungled up the presentation of this data and presented the opposite of what the paper’s plot he displayed is saying, so how much can you trust whatever else he’s saying?
Women's Health Initiative: Low fat study: This quotation from the paper describes how they 'scientists' dismiss the one significant finding of their study: "The intervention was associated with increased risk in the 3.4% of women with baseline CVD; this may be a chance observation, or rates in this small subset may be confounded by concurrent therapy or comorbid conditions. Fig 3. Risk of CHD, last line: "History of CVD (MI, CABG/PCI, or Stroke)"... There should be two lines at the bottom one for "No" and one for "Yes". The No line with the data points 806 (0.53) and 1292 (0.57), then the P value of .006. They left out the next data line for "Yes" history of CVD and up-shifted P-value & bullets. The final bullet indicator is in the 1.26 range in the text, Favoring Non-intervention (Comparison). While the bullet above the .006 P-value is almost 1.0 consistent with .53/.57 favoring intervention. Was this error accidental or intentional?

It even goes back further than the 1970's. In the 1940's the Procter and Gamble company donated millions to the American heart association to say animal fats were bad and that people should start frying in their Crisco trans fats. The women at the time were frying in what we now know was healthy fats such as pig lard and butter, and were resistant to buy the Crisco shortening. Big food also discovered that the partially hydrogenated oil was a preservative, and started putting it in food to make their shelf life longer. Before partially hydrogenated oil was invented in 1911, women cooked with animal fats and heart disease didn't exist. When they invented partially hydrogenated oil, they invented heart disease.

How can this video have so few views. It should be viral and in the millions. Doctors that I've seen have hardly had a clue about the actual details behind cholesterol and the statins they want to prescribe, yet the truths are clearly detailed here. This has really helped me connect the dots after years of trying to figure it out!
Ignorance? Blind?
Because most people don't have the attention span of anything beyond six minutes. They require bullet point simplicity, spoon fed highlights and have no interest in understanding the depth or methodology.
This is the first time I have ever heard anyone actually explain how and why atherosclerosis happens. Thank you for a wonderful and clear presentation.
Scar tissue and hydrodynamics cause atherosclerosis.
This is a weak point in the talk. No doubt that macrophages and LDL are involved but I have heard other explanations of the mechanism whereby the blood vessels contract and harden. Still, the root of the problem is the Pattern B LDL so that is the main point here.
Can the people responsible for the upside-down food guidelines be punished for the massive suffering and death they've profited from?
Many of them, like Ancel Keys, who was perhaps the most responsible for the upside-down dietary recommendations, are dead. Governments and corporations tend to protect individuals from the consequences of their actions. Then again... the first significant damages from Monsanto* were awarded in court for exposure to glyphosate... Around $285 million in exchange for lethal cancer, if memory serves. It remains to be seen if the cancer patient actually collects, or if this goes like the Valdez, where Exxon spent as much or more than the awarded amount to stall having to pay.
Like the tobacco industry, it was revealed that Monsant knew that RoundUp herbicide caused cancer, and other health issues, while it was claiming it's best selling product was safe. Years ago, Monsanto even said it was suitable for organic farming and gardening!!
Now glyphosate is found in most foods, breast milk, even RAIN! And the so-called 'inert ingredients' in Round Up may be more toxic than the glyphosate.
*In violation of our laws intended to prevent any one company/corporation from becoming too large and powerful, Monsanto was recently allowed to be aqcuired by/merge with Bayer. This makes it a multi-national corporation. Monsanto already conducted itself as though it was above the law; but multi-national corporations are loyal to which nation? Oh, and Bayer (under a former name) was one of the companies that profited from the slave labor provided by the concentration camps of WWII.
That should be the case ... but it isn't. If the decision makers were held liable then they would base it ONLY on science and not any other motivator.
billytheweasel The whole point of this is depopulation and control. The elites are above the law (not morally, they just happen to control everything), so it’s impossible to stop them.
Voters should stop voting for politicians willing to push this sort of evidence-free policy on them. Then it would end. But voters insist on ignoring the irrationality of government and shifting blame onto anyone else.

We're no longer on blood thinner and statins for almost 2 years.
We ditched the table salt and Canola and switched to Himalayan salt and virgin coconut oil. Supplemented with magnesium glycinate, Omega 3 fish oil, Vit. C, and avoiding processed food. We avoid eating out as much as we can as well.

i live in romania, we have a huge heart problem ight now. my father is 55 and more that half of his school classmated died of heart disease. I was talking one day with my very old grandma and i asked her if she remembers when she was young people diyng of heart disease and to my surprise she told me she did't even heard about it at the time. Now consider this, where i live is northern romania we had long and cold winters and in my grandma time the way to store food was in fat in salt or to pickle it or dairy (cheese). so they are a huge ammount of fats even lots of saturated ones. now that people consume lots of refined sugars and oils we have a huge problem. My dad had a collesterol problem when i was younger, i don' eat processed food and we have land so we decided to keep sheep and that became ou main protein source, sheep meat is very very fat and my dad now somehow eating fat sheep meat has colesterol at good levels.
What's the most popular cooking oil in Romania?
Outstanding presentation. I'll be watching that a few times until it really sinks in. The most important message for me was that high LDL is only dangerous in the presence of high insulin (insulin resistance). When insulin is high, Apo B100 on the surface of LDL is glycosylated and no longer recognized by the liver for clearance from the bloodstream. When insulin is low, Apo B100 remains unglycosylated and the LDL where it resides is cleared from the bloodstream by the liver. That's a really important concept to get your arms around. If the liver can't clear the LDL from the bloodstream, it gets entangled with macrophages in blood vessel walls and begins to cause arteriosclerosis.
This is undoubtedly the best comment on earth.
EXACTLY! This is why people with VERY low LDL also end up having cardio vas diseases as they don't change diet and continue to take a high glucose diet which glycosylates LDL surface and finally it gets entangled with macrophages. This is the same reason why STATINS DON'T WORK, as they only lower cholesterol COUNT and doesn't target the root cause!
Love it. I always knew the innate immune response was a large cause of disease in the body.
look for Robert Lustig's, he proved the cause of insulin resistance as well. Turns out it's not the glucose that's the problem, it's the fructose (and sucrose).

This is something I have been wrapping my head around recently, given my very shocking lab results, that I am realizing shouldn't have been that shocking after all. This goes against everything I have been practicing for the last 11 years, and yet it makes a lot of sense....and I'm feeling so much better already. I thought I was so healthy......
Just curious, have you changed your diet following this advice, and seen any difference in your blood test results? I’ve been gradually moving in this direction over the past five or six years, giving up most carbs and sugar, but haven’t really changed much on the oils side.
My thoughts are the point is hunger I was so hungry all my life and my brain telling me to eat all day long until I went to bed. Then I found keto and it took away that thought of hunger all day by being satiated by fat eating in the keto ratios of the diet fixed that and much more. I had high cholesterol but keto fixed that after 3 years I have lost 100 lbs and feel great want to loose 30 pound more but that is a bit harder the last of what I need to loose. I go to a doctor that looked at me funny when I told him i was doing keto he had no idea what it was and told me should not eat that fat...Hmmm i proved him wrong last 2 years my blood work was within all normal levels....Ya Keto, I will keto on. oh and my depression and crazy thoughts in my head stopped talking to me my microbiom has been silenced. Gut is the second brain like that doctor hundreds of years ago said. I know not for everyone but for many could work. I am 58
I'm having the same experience in regards to hunger signals. Been a carb addict my whole life. Never overweight, always very active, but now have prediabetic morning blood sugars in my 50ties. Low carb for the past month is fixing this, plus I'm now satiated on good fats. On my way to healing! 🙂

26:37 - On the graph comparing the composition of common sources of fat, note that the percentage of Omega 3 shown as the average in butter is for industrial-style dairy farms where cows have little or no access to pasture, and are feed diets high in grains and seeds (especially soy).
The Omega 3 content of the milk of certified organic 100% 'grassfed' dairy - no grain ever - was compared to the Omega 3 content of milk from certified organic dairies in the area that also fed grain & soy. along with pasture access during the growing season. The Omega 3 content of the regular organic milk was significantly higher than what was found in the milk of cows from 'conventional' industrial-style farms. The Omega 3 content of the 100% grassfed milk from cows on an all-forage diet was 7 TIMES higher.
Lard, like beef tallow, from hogs fed rations high in grains and other seeds will similarly have higher Omega 6 levels and lower Omega 3 levels than lard, and pork, from swine fed a more natural and varied diet. 50+ years ago, a lot of pork was still being produced on the land, foraging in marginal areas, being moved to grain fields after harvest to clean up the dropped grain, and fed vegetables and fruits that were not in good enough condition to be sold for human food. Milk, skim milk, and whey, where available, was fed to growing and 'finishing' pigs, too. Some let the pigs harvest peanut fields themselves. (Some people still find peanuts suitable only to fuel diesel engines and/or as hog feed.)
Very good comments - I might actually consider eating a french fry once a year if it were to be cooked in organic tallow/lard. Until then, never. Do you know, when Dr. Mason was talking about emulsifiers, if dairy that is not labeled "raw" is considered highly processed and/or with emulsifiers? Luckily we can buy organic raw again in my area, albeit at a high cost, but worth it.
Great information but not much use in the supermarket as omega 6:omega 3 ratios can’t be seen or worked out on a packet of butter or lard. Don’t be fooled by ‘organic’ either. That just means the grain used to fatten the animal was organic. You need to do a lot of research to find 100% grass-fed animal products.
Great work Doc. My mother gained a little weight so set course for a low fat diet things like light yogurt no fat full of sugar a prime example why her health was ravaged, she gained more weight had thyroid issues and joint pain who do i sue for telling her this diet would help her be healthy. She still resists fat even thought i helped her eat real foods and sneak olive oil ,butter and coconut oil into everything i cook for her and since the change her health has improved ten fold.
NEW video from Harvard prof. dr Karin Michels states that COCONUT OIL is poison!
But without offering an iota of evidence.
There is an old saying, 'Follow the money.'
Please see the article on www.Mercola.com about the INCORRECT information against coconut oil. One of the problems with the info is that they are saying coconut oil is bad because it contains saturated fats, and the American Heart Assoc* and thereby the gov't officials (under pressure from and/or revolving between jobs in industry that profits from selling seed ('vegetable') oils) have refused to look at the real research that shows humans are healthier on real fats from animals, and coconuts. (They rail against saturated fat, but fail to acknowledge that animal fats also contain unsaturated fat, and margarine contains some saturated fat! Folks, this is not about science!)
Another issue is that the tiny bit of research they chose to pay attention to was done with hydrogenated coconut oil- even though the officials finally got around to acknowledging that hydrogenated oils are harmful.
*A tiny little groups of doctors before Proctor & Gamble gave them millions to demonize animal fats, so they could offer their Crisco as a supposedly 'healthier' alternative. Originally made from cottonseed oil, it was partially hydrogenated to make it solid for use in candle and soap making. Once the light bulb was invented, they needed a new market - so they began marketing the candle and soap ingredient as a lard substitute.
Seed oils, cleverly but deceptively marketed as 'vegetable', were originally used as machine lubricants. Rudolf Diesel designed his engine to run on peanut oil (not actually a nut, but a legume).

If the cartilage is the problem, it has no circulation, and relies on movement of the joint to help those cells bring in nutrients and get rid of cellular waste products. Movement also helps, blood and lymph circulation, of course, if you can move those joints at all.

We are very fortunate in the British Isles that most of our cattle are raised on pasture in the traditional way. The climate and terrain is very well-suited for it since most of England is just fields and grassy hills, so during the warmer months cattle spend nearly all of their time eating grass, as do sheep.
In winter, the cows generally don't prefer to be outside, so they often eat silage (preserved green vegetation, you often see the bales of it in plastic bags in fields) or some other feed (could be corn since it's cheap). This means in the summer months UK or Irish beef is pretty much guaranteed to be grass fed. In winter it might not technically be "finished" on grass, although it will have spent a lot of its life eating grass.
In the US and South America the cattle ranches are generally cleared land and then they are fed on corn (often mixed with hormones and antibiotics). I personally would never eat beef from America unless it explicitly said it was grass fed.
Same with Australia 99% grass fed

Goal: Forget statins. Instead, lower your triglycerides toward 60, raise your HDL toward 60, thus lowering your trigs/HDL ratio into 1.0-1.5x range. To accomplish that (strategy) avoid all seed oils, grains, breads, cereals, fruit, starches, sugar, pasta, sodas, etc. Thus, you'll be eating no processed foods, only real foods like meats, fish, eggs, greens, cheeses, butter, olive oil - you know, the stuff your great-grandparents ate into their 90s....
Dr. Paul Mason increases our probability to live longer, thank you Doctor.
I’m a keto/low carb recipe creator and I love doing so coz I believe in it and eat like this every day and wouldn’t change it for anything in the world
Where can we find your recipes?
Must be thin books. Im carnivore for 5mths, and all i eat is a steak on a plate, once a day. Can't think of many ways to spin that.
Dr Mason, could you explain this: at 11:00 diagram shows that 5-year _survival_ rate was only 75% for pattern A LDL cholesterol, and 88% for pattern B LDL (please note "Survival %" at vertical axis). I found the original paper ("Association of low-density lipoprotein pattern with mortality after myocardial infarction: Insights from the TRIUMPH study", Yashashwi Pokharel et al.) and it says "Pattern B was independently associated with lower risk for all-cause death than A". You seem to state the opposite. Could you please comment?
You're absolutely right on that. Whatever he stated regarding pattern A/pattern B did not make any sense.
i read from other comments that He had mistakenly mislabeled the oxidized cholesterol and non oxidized cholesterol, basically switched the labels around
Pattern B is large and non oxidized LDL, while pattern A is small dense oxidized LDL
@@juhotuho10 That is what I thought at first also, bu that is not what the study concluded. You can look the results up online. The title is in the slide. People with pattern A (large, fluffy) were at significantly higher risk of dying compared to pattern B (small dense). He is claiming the opposite. Either he's just wrong or I'm crazy and don't understand what I'm reading.
Exactly! I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed.
Also:
12:16 "If we assume that Pattern B is bad, which the data clearly suggests it is"
The data suggests that both Pattern A and Pattern B are bad, if 12-25% of the participants died after 5 years. And Pattern A seems twice as bad as Pattern B to me.
This would make the statement at 12:40 "High LDL cholesterol, but safe" even worse.
Please tell me that I have a lapse of judgement, otherwise I am honestly questioning his credibility and ability as a doctor.
I checked the study abstract, it cleary says the opposite of what Dr. Mason lectures here, A and B are NOT swapped. However it also says "..after adjusting for important patient and treatment characteristics. We additionally adjusted for LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglyceride levels and used directly measured LDL-C and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol as exposures..." (they observed of 2476 patients). The adjustments are not explained so I guess we can't tell if this study indicates anything at all. 🤷♂
Such excellent analysis, shameful this is not common knowledge amongst doctors and the general public.
I should have known earlier cuz both of my grandparents who emigrated here from Soviet Russia in the late 40s ate tons of saturated fat and both of them lived to be nearly 100. Beef, Pork, Eggs, Fish, Chicken, cucumbers or Borscht with a bunch of sour cream, along with mashed potatoes and gravy loaded with butter.
Sounds delicious
I believe we take these kind of stories as facts, without thinking it through. I heard the same story in my own country, but what it doesn't tell is that many of the people in the past were religious and were fasting according to the Orthodox calendar. This alone accounts for more than 200 days of fasting in a year. Also, meat was expensive and hence not consumed daily up to 40-50 years ago. Most people were eating meat once-twice a week and the rest vegetables, legumes, whole grains and dairy products.
Caring, humble genius.
Your RUclipss are packed with information and I re-watch them for review
10:23 Seems like it reports the SURVIVAL rate in a 5-year follow-up after myocardial infarction, not the death rate. "After 5 years, most people had died", he stated? Please tell me I'm missing something?
More of our doctors seem to be running out on us and losing the fight but thank you Paul for staying in. We need good doctors on our side.
saturated fat clogged capillaries and your hair is going away before heartstroke
wow...... breathtaking........ Thank you Dr Mason, i can not stop listening to you....
that was brilliant.
i am studying health science and i have been posting many videos from low carb down under to the online lecture discussion boards
I know it will feel like i'm oversimplifying things but please eat your eggs, meat, chicken and ofc your vegies everyday. Try to make your meals with extra virgin olive oil. Also eat couple of olives everyday and do like at least 10 minutes of walk everyday and your sport. This diet really helped me a lot. Eat healthy and stay on the move guys.
Excellent analysis and presentation.
Dear Colleague, at min 11 we can see on the grafics that the survivalratio (y-ax) for pattern A =75% and for pattern B=90%; this means that pattern b has better outcome (also mentionned in the Triumph study); this is contradictionnary from what you said
Great observation.
The counter-intuitive research finding (that Pattern B has better outcomes than Pattern A) is discussed at the end of the original paper under "Strengths and Limitations". See link below.
A diffcult read but the point is that the paper's findings refers to subjects after a heart attack. Conclusions about the rest of the population can't be drawn.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5698121/
At 10:24 "After five years, most people had died. You can see, the mortality here in the group that had the pattern B was almost 90% after five years." The graph shows survival, not mortality, and survival is better for Pattern B. Mortality is not 100% immediately following a heart attack, and then decreases!
Exactly this
Exactly. Makes the conclusions obsolete
You are right: Obviously, mortality for B is not "90 %". B pattern has the lowest mortality. The study says: " Compared with LDL pattern A, pattern B was significantly associated with reduced all-cause and non-CV mortalities with a trend for lower CV mortality." (Association of Low Density Lipoprotein Pattern with Mortality after Myocardial Infarction: Insights from the TRIUMPH Study)
Those graph lines are likely just mis-marked. They should be reversed I'm sure. Oxidized LDL is definitely the dangerous kind, not non-oxidized.
@@davepeterschmidt5818 No, not reversed. According to the study: "In 2476 patients hospitalized for MI, LDL pattern (A [large, buoyant], A/B [mixed], and B [small, dense]) was established by ultracentrifugation using Vertical Auto Profile." In the conclusion: "Compared with LDL pattern A, pattern B was significantly associated with reduced all-cause and non-CV mortalities with a trend for lower CV mortality after MI, independent of LDL-C and triglycerides." So that particular study actually says, pattern B was associated with reduced mortality after myocardial infarction. Kinda flies directly in the face of what is being said here and I'd love to see that addressed.
[Study: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29050980]
The graph at 11:10 shows higher survival rates for pattern A. Right the opposite of what you said during your talk. Please clearify.
Just looked at the study. Paul mislabeled A and B. The graph is correct, but he misread the graph. A is lower density/ oxidized.
he did misread this and brings it up in several talks.. worrying for sure
This guy is a great presenter. Great knowledge. He really liked this tie in 2018 :D
My God how we've been lied to
Oh yeah........but isn't truth like velvet, though? How they despise us -we win when we see through their shenanigans and dodge their constant bullets of destruction
and at the same time not let it get to us.
Thank you so much Dr Mason. These videos are SO helpful.
Thank you, Dr Mason, good sense... 1979 a significant year and the 1980s for me as a mother of children, now a grandmother at last knowing the truth.
10:24 either the graph captions are wrong or it shows the opposite of what the doctor says. Or I am missing something.
Excellent talk, Thank you so much!
Thanks Dr Paul. This was extremely enlightening. Thanks for sharing your insights.
Great info and a good speaker/teacher too
Wow. That was fascinating! Thank you for sharing!
When will our medical system update their LDL testing with their fluffy vs small dense types??
Never. Just take those statin pills for big mama pharma.
I thoroughly enjoyed that presentation.
I have been bone on bone in right knee for over 10 years, and now do not need painkillers to sleep or go about my daily activities like yoga, etc. If I violate the food guidelines, like eat two slices of pizza, or 3 pieces of sugary fruit, then in about 5 hours it feels like somebody is picking at the bone on bone spot with tweezers, inside my knee, and also the pain level goes up to about a 5 from less than a 1. I do also take many supplements, and the one that helps the most is UCII. But no supplement will prevent the impact of eating high glycemic foods. My suspicion is that this applies to many other people, but they do not realize that the foods they are eating are the direct cause of so much pain.
Marcel Karperien, of the Netherlands, is leading a group that has a hydrogel that is testing well in horses to replace the cartilage: "The product, which consists of a hydrogel, is almost ready for human use. Since last year, it has extensively been tested on horses, because the intervention by means of keyhole surgery on these animals hardly differs from the intervention on humans. Furthermore, the gel will also be used in veterinary medicine for the treatment of osteoarthritis in pets.Karperien says that the results from these animal studies are so promising that testing on humans may start as early as the second half of 2018."
There may be updates on the progress more recent than the 2017 publication I came across (www.utoday.nl/science/64144/the-cure-for-osteoarthritis)
The y axis is survival %. I am confused to why you say it's "mortality %" The interpretation is inverted? If they started the graph at 100% mortality then there wouldn't be anyone left alive to continue the study to 5 years.
I think your interpretation of the mortality chart vs LDL pattern is not correct unless the chart y axis title is incorrect
He was definitely wrong there, but if you look at the specific study, you would see it wouldn't matter anyway. There were big distribution differences (more pattern A individuals), different age groups, and people on stations and other cholesterol lowering drugs. Couple that with the fact that this is a group of people who just had a heart attack, it likely makes it less applicable to heathy people. The difference in CV death was 1 out of 100 vs 2.4 out of 100 people... I would hate to be that 1.4th person, but the difference in risk is pretty small and may be caused by something else.
I spotted that as well. It is clear from the downward slope that this must be a survival axis. So pattern A was the worst, tbe opposite of what Paul was saying. Maybe he mislabelled the A and B lines. Maybe ldl patterns A and B are not standardisef.
Obviously, mortality for B is not "90 %". B pattern has the lowest mortality. The study says: " Compared with LDL pattern A, pattern B was significantly associated with reduced all-cause and non-CV mortalities with a trend for lower CV mortality." (Association of Low Density Lipoprotein Pattern with Mortality after Myocardial Infarction: Insights from the TRIUMPH Study). - A Kaplan-Meier estimator was used.
@@christopherturner1547 Something doesn’t add up. The paper is saying the results show that people with damaged ldl particles live longer than people with no damaged ldl particles. That is counter-intuitive to say the least and should lead to everyone trying to damage their ldl as a protective measure! I think not a good plan. Methinks that something else is going on. Maybe the study team’s use of data correction needs to be analysed for skulduggery?
@@davidthoreau6353 Yep, I've read it too. Researchers are actually surprised about the outcome and claiming that the paradox could be explained by the mere fact that this is epidemiological study, not an RCT.
Still, it was strange to inctude this study in the slides.
I think Dr. Mason's interpretation of the survival diagram in the cited paper at 10:22 is totally wrong: the y-axis is labeled with % survival (not mortality, as Dr. Mason says). The x-axis is the time after myocardial infarction in months. Dr. Mason: "After 5 years most people had died." ?????, that's not what this diagram says. In fact, it says that ca. 88% of the patients with pattern B and 75% with pattern A had survived. The authors of the cited paper write in their conclusion: "Compared with LDL pattern A, pattern B was significantly associated with reduced all-cause and non-CV mortalities with a trend for lower CV mortality after MI, independent of LDL-C and triglycerides." So their "pattern B" is the healthier one, which is consistent with the diagram. The authors have another publication (Circulation. 2018;134: A19135) with the title: "Small, Dense LDL Has Protective Association for Long-Term Mortality After Myocardial Infarction Compared With Large, Buoyant LDL Particles: Insights From the TRIUMPH Study". They write in their conclusion: "Contrary to our hypothesis, patients with small, dense LDL have lower long-term mortality after MI than those with large, buoyant LDL particles, irrespective of treatment. Future research is needed to understand this paradoxical finding." So my conclusion is: Beware of the confirmation bias!!! (I'm prone to it myself.)
Thanks for pointing this out.
Thanks for your comment. One note: The Conclusion the authors write does not always match the data they include in the rest of the paper. Sometimes they will state, as in the example you provided, that 'the results were not as expected', and then some version of more study is needed... or there must have been some confounding factor they were unaware of... or the results were skewed because of a small sample size... or the like. However, I have seen several conclusions that made me wonder if the authors had read their own paper.
Since many will see only the abstract of many research papers, and the conclusion is generally included in the abstract, many people will get a very different impression of what the results of the study actually were than the conclusion those readers may have reached if they read the entire paper and looked at the data for themselves.
Aside from confirmation bias...
I stopped the video and searched the comments to see if anyone else saw this. How could he make an error like this in a presentation?
Same for me, anyone has an explanation on this mistake ??
Regardless of that study, "According to the current consensus, 2 main phenotypes, A and B, are defined based on plasma LDL profile, with intermediate A/B phenotype lying in between [11]. The phenotype A is characterized by the predominance of large buoyant LDL (lbLDL) and the phenotype B by the predominance of sdLDL [12, 13]. Phenotype B was reported in a number of diseases, including metabolic disorders [14, 15], obesity [16, 17], and type 2 diabetes [18, 19] and is considered as a risk factor of coronary heart disease (CHD). Moreover, this phenotype was associated with the elevated plasma triglyceride (TG) level, reduced HDL cholesterol (HDL-C), and high-hepatic lipase activity [20]. The predominance of sdLDL is currently accepted as a risk factor for CVD by the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEPIII)" www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5441126/
Outstanding presentation. Thanks so much!
27:28 - 'You don't need to eat fish (or take fish oil) to get Omega 3. Grassfed beef will do fine.' 100% grassfed beef, lamb, etc - and milk, cream, and butter from 100% grassfed cows (or goats, or sheep, or...) are also good sources of Omega 3 fatty acids.
Did you control for types of carbs (insulin spiking vs non-insulin spiking)? Carbs have always been part of the America diet before heart disease was a major problem. Stands to reason we don't need to be low carb to avoid glycation
Absolutely agree with you. But the difference is that people today have already spent years or decades eating highly damaging foods. That damage needs to be reversed (via low carb) before the traditional style of eating will be safe again.
If you eat a sandwich between two pieces of whole wheat bread, your body does not know the difference between the wheat bread or two donuts. It's all sugar to the body. Potatoes spike blood sugar too. See this blood sugar test with Ezekiel bread on RUclips. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/cN99LIhsi84/видео.html
You can probably eat carbs without getting IR, he even shows in the video that IR leads to a higher risk of heart disease. Fasting, and eating a moderate amount of carbs and you'll prob be fine, unless you already have IR.
I only wish we knew how to reverse this damage... I am seriously upset that I had been eating a large carbohydrate diet thinking I was being healthy. I am a little scared. I trust the damage was minimal.
Absolutely brilliant!
Thank you Dr. Mason....
Perfect ! ....Every time I found some video more useful than the previous. So now I know, Food Industry and many other industries (which we may not know either ) , made us toys of their manipulations.
Amazing talk. Thanks doc!
a simple presentation , easy to understand and loaded with vital health information!!!!! thanks
so, specific and informative. Concisely, but thoroughly presented, for practical application and the reasoning behind the practicality makes sense,
can this guy go on the Joe Rogan podcast?
Joe Rogan is controlled opposition, sold out satanist
@@LegitoArt Good. Hail Satan.
Thank your Dr Paul. You and the other independent thinking docs putting out real data, robust analysis are addressing the root causes of the modern western epidemic of diabetes, cancer and heart disease. Understanding of bio chem is essential for everyone, not just doctors and nutritionists.
this man is a legend
@De 2 marginalen did you not watch the video?
At 10:49, when reviewing the Kaplan Meier chart, Dr Mason said that most (90%) of the patients who had a heart attack and had predominantly LDL Pattern B lipoproteins died. However, the vertical axis indicates a survival rate of 75% I am not an expert at the Kaplan Meier chart, but I am confused with how a 75% survival rate after 5 years translates into an interpretation that 90% of the patients had died. Can someone please explain that to me, or direct me to a reference which explains it? The way my untrained eye see it, if the average survival rate of 50% is used as the "expected life" metric, and assuming these patterns continue their more or less linear trajectories, the 50% survival rate for the LDL Pattern B patients is 10 years, while the survival rate for the LDL Pattern A patents is twice that - 20 years.
Yes, I had trouble working out what that one showed too. Not enough info on the diagrams/graphs? Another one had percentages on both the vertical and horizontal so I had no idea which percentage being talked about was supposed to show what. Otherwise though, this vid was excellent.
I am confused, Leonid Kim MD, affirms based on recently reliable published paper that saturated fat may lead to NAFLD and mufa or pufa are preferable
Hello Dr Mason,
There is a new European article released in Nature Medicine titled “Lipidome changes due to improved dietary fat quality inform cardiometabolic risk reduction and precision nutrition”. It pretends that eating saturated fats does increase your chances on getting a hart or cardiovascular disease with 32% and on developing diabetes type2 with 23%. I would like to get your analysis/opinion on this article.
Thanks
Thomas
Brilliant.Now help me out: what sources of Omega 3 and how to get enough? I already eat beef (but only a small proportion is grass fed because of cost and availability); I already push my carbs and sugar intake down and have increased fats in other areas. But Omega 3 seems so important that it would be helpful to have some sound information on the application.
The ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 is whats important, if you cant find omegas 3, lower your omega 6s and that should be beneficial
Eat fatty fish regularly, like salmon and sardines.
I would like to see the conversation between this gentleman and another professional on the "saturated fat is bad" side. Not because I waana see a fight but more to hear what they both have to say.
Excellent and very informative talk.
This is far too technical for me, although I usually enjoy Dr. Mason's lectures. I persevered because I love hearing him say "shooga". Can't help it...I'm a Yank.
I finally understand the LDL bugaboo after watching this.
I wish the low carb down under would put the studies cited under the comments..
I saw most of them in the video alone. It's a little inconvenience but you can hand-type what you read into your web search.
Maybe you could get in touch with them and offer to do that. Or you could post them in the comments. Many viewers would appreciate that, I'm sure.
They are handing us so much value for free, (except for the info on us Google is harvesting by tracking what we watch, when we watch it, and every comment we make...) that asking for them to take on even more work to post the references in the description just seems... unkind.

There was no background review prior to changing dietary guidelines... hmmmm
I would love to see direct confrontation with someone like Dr. Greger :)
Yeah it's kind of mad that we don't see more of that. I'm a proponent for no oil low fat whole food diets health. Truth is you can use research to show anything you want to. My issue is that most of the research I've seen which says saturated fats is good is funded by dairy and meat industries so I just don't know what to believe. It's the same ad politics. Industries should not be able to donate to have research done. Or if they do it should not be allowed to be published in peer reviewed journals
@@RJBynon Diabetes is the top listed risk factor for heart disease. Diabetes is literally Insulin Resistance, like he mentioned in the video. The meat industry is factory farms right, then why do all these 'Keto' and health people advise grass fed beef?
Living in the U.S., what type of lipid profile test do you recommend to get a proper breakdown of LDLs. I have an option of an NMR through LabCorp or the Advanced Cardio IQ from QuestLabs?? Please assist.
If you are still looking for answers, check out Ivor Cummin's presentations on RUclips. Dr. Paul Mason has another video here on blood tests, what they mean for those on low carb high fat/keto diets, but you may have to convert the results for the units used in the U.S.A. Cummins cuts to the chase, and speaks in US units.
I agree wholeheartedly on the need to get the omega 6 and 3 ratio balanced, especially by cutting the vegetable oils and increasing oily fish consumption.
But I have a question on the slide at 23:11 where we see the conversion of alpha linoleic acid to EPA and DHA. In all the literature I've read, the consensus is that the human body is very inefficient in doing the conversion or even, according to some, totally unable to do the conversion. Which means we absolutely have to consume EPA and DHA since any amount that the body is actually able to produce is far too low to be useful. Am I missing something here?
Great question. That is what I have read also, and have heard other physicians say in presentations. This means we have to get DHA and EPA from animal sources. Yet the proponents of 'plant based' diets always tell us that we can get all the Omega 3s we need from plants.
In addition to fish oil, 100% grassfed meats (beef, lamb) and milk may be better sources than we think. The numbers cited in research are always from conventionally raised meat, milk, and butter.
Organic milk (though some industrial 'organic' dairies cheat) there is a requirement in USDA organic standards that the cows get at least a certain percentage of their diet from pasture during the growing season. It is not surprising that, like the meat, the Omega 3 content of organic milk is much higher than 'conventional' milk. The milk of a local farm that feeds its cows only pasture and hay - 100% 'grassfed' was tested- and found to have 7 X more Omega 3 than the milk from organic farms in the area that also fed grain and soy.
It may also help that the grassfed farm has only Jersey cows, and their milk averages around 5% butterfat. 'Whole' milk in supermarkets is standardized to 3.25% butterfat. Holstein (the black and white dairy cows) herds in the area average around 3.5 to 3.8% butterfat. That percentage goes up on a forage-based diet (pasture, hay, etc) and down with increased feeding of grain/soybeans.
The efficiency of the digestion of forages - pastures, dried pasture aka hay, and even fermented pasture plants - drops when cattle, and other ruminants like sheep, goats, etc, are fed grain - since it takes a different set of microbes to digest grains and soybeans than it does to digest pasture plants.
No, you're absolutely right. Conversion of ALA to DHA is highly variable due to sex, genetics and environmental factors, and no individual has any idea how well they are able to perform this conversion. For males, the conversion rates are very low, somewhere between 0-4%, typically about 1%. For women, conversion rates are higher on average, but still highly variable, perhaps about 5-9% for adolescent females, and lower than that, typically for adult women. This is not at all a reliable way of obtaining adequate amounts of DHA for _anyone._
Dr Mason made it seem like damaged LDL actually causes atherosclerosis in healthy arteries. I thought the cause was already sugar-damaged areas in arteries attracting LDL which tries to fix the damage by creating plaque containing calcium and oxidised LDL?
I also wondered about when he said the ldl is not being up taken by liver and being dumped on the scrap heap due to not having a place to go, How does this explain lean mass hyper responders with extremely high LDL. And whether this also needs to be dumped or is in fact, not harmful at all.
It may be possible that they are still recycled well at a greater amount and intake, however high cholesterol is also remaining in circulation,
Thank you Paul and LCDU.
So what actually happens with saturated fat in your body when you eat it? For example, carbs generally convert to sugar. Some is stored and some used. What happens to the saturated fat?
It's used for fuel. Your body stops using the carbs for fuel, which will decrease your hunger.
Fat burns looong and low. Not like carbs that give you a blood sugar and insulin spike!
It gets burned for fuel, but excess also gets stored.
@@sigalsmadar4547 But is ketose a healthy state of the body? Isn't it more of a state of emergency the body goes into?
Brilliant. Very interesting, very well explained.
This is so good. Very insightful. Why doesn’t everyone knows this?
My understanding is that unsaturated double bonds in fats are oxidized, causing free radical formation, which damage mitochondria. The higher the number of unsaturated double bonds, the higher the number of free radicals, and the more mitochondrial damage induced disease. If enough mitochondrial damage occurs, the cell dies. If enough cells die, the organism dies. Therefore, oxidative stress causes disease and death.
Do I just not understand something or the diagrams on 27:00 and 27:12 show very different data on the same oils?
There would never be debates about saturated fat if it wasnt for the big business called processed foods. Just eat your plants and don't worry about ldl, hdl and stuff we are not designed to worry about.
One nanometer is 1 millionth of a millimeter (not 1 millionth of a meter, that's a micrometer)
What about the rest his lecture?
Well said dr. Mason. Very easy to understand and follow. I need to learn more about omega's.
does this mean that carbs are extra dangerous if you eat saturated fat?
Why aren't these blood tests routine ?
10:25 He bungled up the presentation of this data and presented the opposite of what the paper’s plot he displayed is saying, so how much can you trust whatever else he’s saying?
Women's Health Initiative: Low fat study: This quotation from the paper describes how they 'scientists' dismiss the one significant finding of their study: "The intervention was associated with increased risk in the 3.4% of women with baseline CVD; this may be a chance observation, or rates in this small subset may be confounded by concurrent therapy or comorbid conditions. Fig 3. Risk of CHD, last line: "History of CVD (MI, CABG/PCI, or Stroke)"... There should be two lines at the bottom one for "No" and one for "Yes". The No line with the data points 806 (0.53) and 1292 (0.57), then the P value of .006. They left out the next data line for "Yes" history of CVD and up-shifted P-value & bullets. The final bullet indicator is in the 1.26 range in the text, Favoring Non-intervention (Comparison). While the bullet above the .006 P-value is almost 1.0 consistent with .53/.57 favoring intervention. Was this error accidental or intentional?
The paradigm shift that needs to happen is for people to stop believing the government lies.
Would be fascinating to know how fast these glycolated LDLs disappear after the switch to low carb.
