Скачать или смотреть New research says LDL-C is no longer a reliable marker for cardiovascular disease risk

For most of the past half century, patients have gone to see their doctors to check in on how their health is doing. One of the primary diagnostic blood labs that has been used to determine your cardiovascular risk is what is called a standard lipid panel, aka your cholesterol numbers. On that panel, doctors have zeroed in on LDL-C as well as total cholesterol as the most influential numbers in terms of your risk of getting a heart attack or developing heart disease.

Ever since the early 1990s when the classification of drugs known as statins that were developed specifically to lower LDL cholesterol (and by extension of that total cholesterol), the hysteria and obsession over LDL has been ramped up to a fevered pitch. The desperate plea to lower your cholesterol became a marketing tool to slap on the front packaging of foods. Even worse, they peddled statin drugs like Lipitor and Crestor on desperate people wanting to protect their heart (which led to annual profits for the pharmaceutical companies that raked in a record $29 billion annually before it became generic).

But new research, which I outline in Episode 1790 of The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show podcast (LLVLC.com), reveals that LDL-C rises exponentially in some people eating a low-carb diet who are lean and otherwise have great cardiovascular blood markers such as low triglycerides, higher HDL cholesterol, and low BMI. Could it be that we’ve had the story all wrong about LDL all along? Don’t miss hearing the full details about this compelling new study highlighting this anomaly.

Read my book CHOLESTEROL CLARITY to learn more about what the relevant markers on your cholesterol panel really are, why statin drugs aren’t the answer, and why your doctor is so clueless about your cholesterol. It’s available in paper, Kindle, and audiobook on Amazon.
