Elevated Apo B levels can be problematic even on a healthy, anti-inflammatory diet that includes meat, olive oil, butter, coffee, and yerba mate.

“Now we also realize that elevated Apo B can be problematic. And I and many people I know who eat some meat-- it's not meat-heavy diet but some good-quality meat. We're not talking about deli meats and things like that-- fruit, vegetables, and limit starchy carbohydrate intake to some extent-- maybe not completely, but to some extent-- have observed elevated Apo B when we do that, including olive oil, butter, coffee, yerba mate, this kind of thing.”
