Thanks for this information
eaxctly, football players and basketball players don't have a lack of exercise yet they die at age 50...why? well, their diet obviously
More and more, it seems that going VEGAN is the answer to HEALTHY living -- Thank you to Dr. Williams.
What's the Dr's thoughts on high carb intake and small LDL particles
He will be sick with a cholesterol of 90.
The first thing he does is blame cholesterol. Plant based Doctor not blaming the real cause, processed plant vegetable oil, prosessed plant sugar, prosessed plant grains. These cause dis function, not cholesterol. Animal products heal you after you get sick from plant based eating
The ACC has to get you on statins, or be a vegan as said by clergy of cult.
ugh this guy is so sexy
Why do experts never talk about genetics.
Funny how my LDL is 74 on a animal protein diet at age 47. Maybe pro athletes have heart issues because they test thier bodies in ways the average human cannot comprehend?
you lost me at "plant based" ..in conjunction with heart this is just idiotic...
Horseshit. This guy is a salesman, nothing more. That's what all his credentials mean: he's good at taking orders from all the right people.
Great stuff, John. It's always been what's on the fork.
Makes me sick American Heart Association still recommends people eat high cholesterol eggs. How much is the egg industry paying AHA off still?
Vegan diets require lots of supplementation. Many Vegan Dr's say this. If you have to rely on pills to get all of your nutrients it is not the correct diet. If cholesterol is the problem why is it that is only high in half of the heart disease cases?
I'm on a healthy Keto & Intermittent fasting diet plan, I'm 47 years old, LDL 97, Triglycerides 55, HDL 76, I'm off high blood pressures meds. My waist line is down to 36 inches from 47 inches. I feel great!!! keto is the answer for me and my family, thank you.
So many "The One" understanding of what causes X, Y, and Z. By now, I think it's fairly clear that people react differently to different types of food. It's quite funny doctors believe that people react to drugs differently, but can't and won't extend that to foods. Too many "experts" in silos. Find the diet that works for you and stick to it.
Bollocks total horse shite , blood pressure silent killer he says keto reduces blood pressure , but causes heart disease WTF , keto puts diabetes into remission or even reverses it WTF , diabetes main cause of circulation problems is heart disease , where are the studies , eggs Google UK NHS can eggs cause prostrate cancer , it gives a full breakdown in layman's terms on the studies results , even a top US prostrate specialist says the number of fatalities are to small to not be able to rule out chance , also the subjects where examiners and heavy meat eaters and family history wasn't taken into account , but let's take veggies and known carsengens is weed killer proven to be getting into the food chain , not saying one diets better than the other but facts , he's just another keto .
The main problem with the plant based diet is that 95% of the food being sold to us as food would need to be binned. When i say main problem I am talking about from the Governments point of view. It's strange how such supposedly intelligent people can just blindly ignore the facts. The solution is always drugs...something they can sell us and make lots of money from
