We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.
The absence of coronary artery calcification in LMHR individuals on a ketogenic diet for under five years (and presumably exposed to high LDL for just as long) is, in my opinion, not strong enough evidence to dismiss the link between high LDL and heart disease over a lifetime.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
I found the recent LMHR paper very interesting, but I’m still left wondering if the study’s ~5-year timeframe is sufficient to override the apparent risks of lifelong high LDL exposure noted in these MR studies.
