Chris, Great information.

There are many factors that contribute to heart disease including homocysteine levels, and c-reactive proteins. Even gum disease (periodontal) can cause heart problems. A diet high in fast acting carbohydrates and the ‘wrong’ kind of oils/fats adds to the problem. Fiber and liquids play a role in moving food through the gut. Lets not forget that no exercise makes everything worse.

It is true that so much of the research is funded by or done by drug companies.

Good video. in the …
Good video. in the context of the typical North American highly-inflammatory, diet these blood lipids are pretty important but take something like Lindburg’s study of the Kitavans. Really poor blood lipids from all of those carbs, and yet no heart disease. The typical guess is that inflammation is huge factor.

Not that I think that eating all of those carbs and eschewing fat is optimal for health, it’s just not necessarily going to cause heart disease at the age of 60 without inflammation.

It’s likely that refined carbs such as white flour and sugar are more harmful than carbs in whole foods and fruits. The Kitvans also live a dramatically different lifestyle than Westerners do, so it’s difficult to make direct comparisons because there are so many potential confounding factors.

Thank you so much for this important information. Those of us who choose to say “No thanks” to statin treatment and who want an alternative view are deeply in your debt.

This doesn’t make any sense, since Dean Ornish proved that low fat diet rich in fruits and vegetables along with relaxation and exercises actually REVERSES heart disease.

Dean Ornish proved nothing of the sort. His studies are hopelessly flawed because he doesn’t control for confounding factors.

OK …
@chriskresser
OK then, show me some studies with the type of diet that you advocate that reverse heart disease, so I’ll consider that you might be right.
