Lean Mass Hper-responder here. 59 years old. I was on one meal a day, keto for 4 years. Developed Coronary artery disease with crippling angina 20 months ago. Did the research and did a 180-degree turn going to a strict whole plant-based diet with zero oils, dairy, salt, caffeine, meat, fish, or alcohol. Cut LDL from 225 to 105 mmol/L in just the first 3 weeks. After 3 months all angina symptoms were totally gone, and after 6 months blood pressure was then down to 120/80. Twenty months later today not only have I halted the disease process but clearly reversed it as I can run 12 km with no chest pain. Today LDL 70 mmol/L

CVD is not about cholesterol but about blood flow and clotting factors such as fibrinogen, factor VIII, platelets. If your blood flow or blood pressure is too high it will create an injury to your vessels and then attracts fibrinogen, platelets, etc…. Did you know that LDL is less than 1% of plaques. Did you know you have LDL is present in your blood throughout your bodybut plaques occurs where there are junctions which is close to the heart. Read dr Sloop or dr kendricks videos. Good luck

So basically your argument is that because the study did not correct for BMI and exercise, the absence of plaque could be explained by exercise and leanness? Wouldn’t that suggest then that LDL is not the primary driver of CAD since despite extremely high levels and duration of exposure to LDL, plaque was prevented through means other than LDL reduction? This is kind of the whole point of studying this population isn’t it?

@karlwheatley1244 5 ай бұрын

"So basically your argument is that because the study did not correct for BMI and exercise, the absence of plaque could be explained by exercise and leanness?" No, his point was also very clearly that the study was too short to identify expected changes in plaque at the lower average levels of LDL that the study would up following. AND his point was that the exclusion criteria may have weeded out people for who high fat diets were already giving them progressively worsening atherosclerosis.

"Mic wants this theory to be wrong so that animals lives are spared. It's a good motive. I want to do what's best for my health." Speaking as a researcher, and ignoring all animal rights issues, Feldman's study is too flawed to prove anything. Period. Doing good research is hard and although Feldman seems like a good guy, he's not a trained researcher and doesn't understand that what he has here is nothing. There's a very sound reason why that one researcher bailed out on this study. P.S. That's absolutely wonderful about your health progress, but the same things have been achieved on diets that are dominated by whole plant foods and that are very low in fat. The differences is that WFPB diets very low in fat have a record of stopping and even reversing serious heart disease, and diets high in fat do not.

@karlwheatley1244 4 ай бұрын

@@greganthonysanchez3416 The point is that FAR FEWER animals get killed. Eating meat, including fish, has been THE #1 most eco-destructive human activity ever in that it has required us to overfish the oceans and raise billions of heads of livestock (which is THE #1 most ecodestructive thing that humans have done to land ecosystems and biodiversity). Similarly, research clearly shows that switching to a vegan/low animal foods diet is THE #1 most beneficial "shovel-ready" strategy for simultaneously reducing emissions, restoring enormous swaths of wilderness, allowing biodiversity to rebound sharply on land and in the oceans, reduce use of freshwater, and sequester hundreds of billions of tons of CO2 underground and in the foliage of those swaths of re-wilded and re-forested land. Meanwhile, you prevent ~90 direct deaths of animals per year on a vegan diet, so I've prevented the slaughter of ~1000 livestock animals in the last 11 years on a vegan diet plus lots of wildlife.

Another potential flaw - the imaging techniques used. CAC is a late stage marker, while CCTA only images the arterial lumen, but heart disease starts in the arterial wall, and doesn't progress to the lumen for a long time. So essentially both techniques are blind to earlier atherosclerosis. These issues have been suggested by cardiologist Dr Alo (Mohammed Alo) - he has a podcast on the LHMR study and a follow up one on cardiac imaging techniques

I don't understand the emphasis on total and hdl/ldl cholesterol as a risk factor when apparently many people who have normal cholesterol have heart attacks and the actuarial tables/risk calculators weigh age, gender, smoking far greater than cholesterol levels. If everyone is going die plus or minus 3 years due to heredity, then going 100% vegan would mainly be about saving animals and the environment (which is HUGE dont get me wrong) as opposed to health. Am i missing something here? Of course, quality of life matters, but do we need to be 100% vegan to reap the benefits?

@karlwheatley1244 5 ай бұрын

"I don't understand the emphasis on total and hdl/ldl cholesterol as a risk factor when apparently many people who have normal cholesterol have heart attacks" This is based on faulty way of assessing "normal cholesterol" levels--ones grounded more in culture than science. Because westerners eat such high fat diets that raise their LDL so much, "normal" LDL is America, used to be as high as 160, then it dropped to 130, and then 100. All of these cutoffs are known by scientists to be too high--the physiologically normal range for LDL is more like 30-70, and the higher you go above 70, more and more plaque forms and more and more CVD events happen. That is why the best-known study showing that many people having heart attacks has SUPPOSEDLY normal LDL levels also pointed out that maybe it was time to lower the threshold for what we label as a normal or OK LDL level. Another thing to know about LDL levels and heart attacks is that many people have heart attacks in the 60-70s, and at that time, LDL levels drop naturally due to aging, so someone who presents at the hospital with supposedly normal LDL levels after a heart attack may have highly elevated levels for many previous decades... and those elevated levels gave them the plaque that caused the heart attack.

You CLEARY miss the point as to what is happening here. LMHR are NOT a genetic anomaly - they are people who have adjusted their metabolism to burn ketones as opposed to glucose -- and likely anyone can do it, if they are willing to adjust their diet. As such, the circulating lipids are used up as energy before they drive LDL that is deposited in the arteries. For people who eat higher carbs loads, they derive their energy from the carbs and as such the fat (cholesterol) DOES get deposited on their arteries because the fat is NOT getting converted to ketones and used as energy. The Womens Heart study showed that metabolic syndrome (i.e., insulin resistance due to too much glucose in the blood), is FAR more significant as far as heart disease goes when compared to high LDL - and I mean HUGELY more significant. No one is arguing that LDL deposited in the arteries is not good - what is being debated here is, under what conditions that actually happens. Vegans might not like the science - but science does not care what vegans (or carnivores) like.

@InfiniteQuest86 5 ай бұрын

@@trentriver You're way off the mark on everything I said. I never said it wasn't achievable by people. I said if you have high LDL and think you are ok because you think you are a LMHR, you probably aren't. Everyone involved says it is a very low percentage of the population. It is a very specific criteria. For most of the population LDL is still a very relevant marker. And yes, there are thousands of things you can do to improve your health which improves your cardiovascular risk. Improving insulin resistance of course improves health in all areas. That just is irrelevant to this discussion. Which is that LDL is relevant for pretty much everyone in normal society. Nothing you said is an argument against that. It's just tangential stuff.

@notyourdad 5 ай бұрын

If high LDL is not the cause of heart disease in 1% of cases, it is not the cause, period - it may be a contributing factor, but it cannot be the cause, because if it were, it would, you guessed it, cause it, every time, that's what cause means. You simply cannot make the claim that LDL causes heart disease when it clearly doesn't always do that - I don't see anyone saying that high LDL cannot contribute to heart disease, only that it's not the cause, meaning, it alone cannot give you heart disease, you need other factors to contribute as well in order for heart disease to develop so focusing on LDL and blaming LDL is nonsensical and counterproductive.

@colin6577 5 ай бұрын

It's because high Apob is the cause of heart disease. It's a little wacky but LDL is a round about way of testing for Apob. It's technically possible to be in the risk category for LDL but not for Apob. Nutrition made simple has a great video explaining this concept in way better detail.Just look up nutrition made simple Apob, I encourage it as he sites all of his sources if you're skeptical about his claims you can go to their sources. However, something can be casual and still not occur 100% of the time, due to confounding variables and the such, I'm no statistician but let's be honest here, we are all aware of this fact.

I still think that diet will catch up with most people and is it worth it if so many people misidentified themselves as LMHRs?

@MictheVegan 5 ай бұрын

Yes, we need a study on the disparity between self-identified LMHR people and people that meet the criteria to wake people up.

This is so true. By the time the "LMHR" study results are in, all of these people will have done irreversible damage to themselves.

Hi Vegan Mic, I’m sorry to bring this up here, but this is the second time a recommendation turns into a bit of a mess. Just fyi that fittrack scale, no bueno! Still waiting on my order, it’s been a month now! Plus many excuses and promises. So anyway I wouldn’t recommend that company anymore as they been giving us the runaround and it’s beginning to feel like a bit of a scam. Similar happened with another product but they did send me another quickly and they tried to make amends. But fittrack unfortunately I would caution recommending this company any longer. Seemed like a nice idea for a fitness scale. But they really pissed me off, enough to mention it here. I want to support small companies but when things like this happen, I mind a tiny bit less sometimes shopping on Amazon. Again my apologies, love your channel and content. Best -Oh and no worries on deleting this message after you view this.

I ate the standard American diet for 46 years. I was 325lbs and had to get a triple bypass. I went on keto and now I'm at 235lbs. Everyone is slugging it out over who's eatting lifestyle is better. I don't care if you go vegan, keto or any other change in eatting habits.In both camps the people are ten times healthier than what most people eat in their everyday lives. The message from both aspects should be, do something, just get off the Standard American Diet!! It's so much worse than anything else.

It’s fascinating that on the clip your showing of Shawn Baker was clearly manipulated to fit your agenda. I hope people actually watched Shawn’s entire clip so you aren’t being mislead by this person, Mic. I’m sure he will delete my comment like he always does. Because Mic is not an open minded individual.

@karlwheatley1244 4 ай бұрын

The Shawn Baker edit is not the main event here: The main event here is that this study proves nothing about too-high LDL being safe for anyone, and dozens of better experimental studies prove it isn't.

Can you do a review of Mighty Yum Lunchables products? Also, can you figure out if they’re vegan, they claim they’re 100% plant based.

My LDL and total was steadily going up (119 and 225) and weight loss stalled on whole foods low-carb. After 4 months whole foods vegan my ldl is now at 57 and total is 133. 😊

If I'm to start a vegan diet how can U be healthy? I looked into it and there is no B12 , that's dangerous, what to do

@karlwheatley1244 5 ай бұрын

"I looked into it and there is no B12 , that's dangerous, what to do" Take a regular B12 supplement, just as the cattle omnivores eat are routinely injected with B12.

I understand that people are frustrated about that Shawn Baker edit but if you actually watch my video instead of just listening to Shawn like many of you are doing, you will realized that his clip was meant to be a quick summation of the main point of the report and his call to spread it, not an extended section of Shawn's nuances. The video is NOT about Shawn, it is about the report and the 20+, actually peer-reviewed studies I used to respond to it. The drama about the editing is a distraction to ignore my days of research.

The tricky thing is cardio vascular disease takes time. I was paleo for 10 years (low-ish carbs and fats about 55%) and all was fine until BP started to get to 140/90 and chest pain started. 54 yo, 170 cm/68 kgs. TC - 220-240. LDL - 120-130. TG - 60-100. Went on pills and WFPB SOS free (fats 30 gr) and after 18 months BP was 105-110/70-75 and no pills. Weight down to 60 ksg (just as I was 18 yo). But TC and LDL dropped just a little - TC 190-200, LDL - 100-115. TG up and down - 130-230. Lack of salt (Cl) causing low stomach acid and all the problems with it like heartburn, chest pain, throat pain, etc. Now I am adding salt and doubling fats (to go to about 60-70 gr), taking out things like bananas and oats, to see if it can reduce TC, LDL, TG. BP does not go up after adding some small amount of salt. It used to go below 100 especially in the mornings.
