High LDL With No Plaques? New LMHR Study | Dr. Shawn Baker, Dave Feldman, and Nick Norwitz

Age 73, last 2 lipid test results, 8/30/23: LDL= 353, 2/14/24: LDL= 377. Recent CAC score "0". That shut my doctor up about taking a statin. Carnivore diet 4 years.

What I take away from this talk is that I'm facing a colossal industry, but thanks to your hard work, I now know my improved health is based on scientifically proven concepts. Thanks for your efforts!

Thank you! Hurray, hurray, this is a good day! 🎉

Thank you, Dr. Baker, for speaking the truth regarding the backlash they are facing while presenting the truth. It’s absolutely crazy that this is happening!

To the dietdoctor segment: I've jumped the ship as soon as Andreas Eenfeldt started promoting to go "low fat" (on keto) to lose weight. Glad Brad Sheer is not with dietdoctor anymore.

I feel heartened that there are intelligent people out there like you three who can speak to the rubbish studies that are actually accepted for submission. I imagine most people would just accept the findings, now I question everything. Thx guys. 👏🇦🇺

Appreciate everyone keeping this study going! I started carnivore 1/3/24 and was on it for 3 months and cholesterol went up to 510 (430 LDL). I've researched this a good bit but decided to change my WOE to more animal based thinking that would reduce my cholesterol but it didn't budge from 510 after 4 months. Still the exact same with some organic fruit carbs added. Triglycerides are 96, HDL is 58. Insulin is good and low inflammation. I don't quite fit the phenotype of LMHR so it is hard to know my risk factor. Of course all my doctors are freaking out. Had a 0 CAC score before starting carnivore and AB so I guess I will just monitor that every couple of years as I don't want to deviate how I eat and I think it is extremely healthy.

I eat carnivore and couldn't care less what my lipid #s are. I'm eating what our ancestors ate for millions of years & my body will make whatever it needs.

Thank you all for your amazing work and contributions to healthy living ❤

Cholesterol is necessary; and the liver and brain... makes cholesterol. The LDL transporter carries cholesterol on the LDL vehicle out of the liver to where it is needed. The HDL transporter carries the cholesterol back into the liver to be recycled, stored... The problem happens when we cause inflammation in the body from poor food, smoking, stress... and the LDL transporter has to take the cholesterol over to the inflammation and mend it. Thus "plaque" builds up and clogs the arteries.

The Circulation abstract was so weak it would never have been published if it went against what the Circulation editors believed. But it was published because it supported the editors pre-existing beliefs. I am SO impressed with "prestigious" medical journals ...

Eureka! The concept of HDL finally clicked for me. Thanks, Dave! So, HDL carries the surface proteins and phospholipids as VLDL shrinks. Awesome explanation!

The no plaque thing is a canard. Meaningless unless you study 60 year olds who have been carnivore the last 15 years. No plaque in a younger person is just normal. This is what the MESA CAC data says. My 71 YO wife is an animal on carnivore. She meets all the criteria of a LMHR. She is overweight. The fat she does have is on her hips and is healthy and protective. Our doctor is Nadir Ali.

Interesting discussion. Thank you all.

Great interview. Thanks for doing this research.

My stupid doctor wants to push Big Pharma St@tins on me because my LDL is 320 even though my HDL, Trig, Small LDL is great.

I have LMHR numbers, LDL-228, HDL-96, Trig-39 I believe I have lipedema, but haven't got a diagnosis yet. I have a BMI of 31, but my waist circumstances is less than 1/2 my height.

Can you discuss blood glucose on Carnivore diet. I heard it can still be high, like above 100, but it's not dangerous because it's not sugar/carbs keeping the glucose elevated. How does this liver/glucose mechanism work on Carnivore?

Nice video and congrants on full paper. For the next study maybe use a real tool for food frequency, something like cronometer..
