The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
so oxidized LDL went up and LP little a went up when they took saturated fat down this is one of the things that's so crazy because I think that don't you think that that saturated fat and animal Foods get vilified because they raise LDL
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.

saturated fat doesn't raise your LDL absolutely it does no question that's not what I'm saying I think that but what are you saying tell me yeah yeah that's what I'm saying like saturated fat doesn't raise your health I'm not arguing that saturated fat doesn't raise your LDL what I'm arguing is that saturated fat while it raises your LDL decreases your oxidized LDL decreases your LP little a
There's some interesting evidence to suggest that perhaps that's because of increased oxidation in the level at the liver of VLDLDL particles. And so when we really peel back the onion, there's potential that increasing the amount of linoleic acid in your body, which is the the highest like the most prominent omega-6 polyunsaturated fat might lower your LDL for the completely wrong reasons that the LDL is becoming oxidized or damaged in the liver.
if you are on a high polyunsaturated or seed oil diet versus a high saturated fat diet and you normalize for total LDL which obviously will be quite different is do you have an equal percentage of oxidized LDL in the periphery
So that is the their kind of really when we nail it down that I believe that's one of their big core arguments is when you substitute polyunsaturated fats for saturated fats you are creating an unstable lipoprotein more prone to oxidation and that is what is going to cause this disease to really progress.
