Saw a GP for the first time in a long time. Doc: "Your cholesterol is REALLY HIGH" Me: "Respectfully, I don't believe saturated fat causes heart disease." Doc: "You should cut down though. No fats that are solid at room temperature" Me: "I think canola oil and stuff like that ispic.twitter.com/7Oh6bwiAyZ
really bad.” Doc: “yeah, but what about olive oil? Could you do rapeseed?” (Canola oil is the more marketable name for rapeseed oil) Last screenshot is my blood panel. This is my heart rate and blood pressure.pic.twitter.com/VnIZN0azy1
Not wanting my heart to explode, I ended up doing a deep dive (not every I read is below, but still it's interesting). Anyways, I think the doctor is wrong. Cholesterol and LDL cholesterol are red herrings for heart health.https://twitter.com/Molson_Hart/status/1269316955674157056 …
I'm fairly confident that the way to avoid having a heart attack is to avoid spiking your blood sugar. I'd also avoid modern oils like canola, sunflower, etc.
@PeterAttiaMD has a pretty good write up the topic, which you can read for yourself:https://peterattiamd.com/the-straight-dope-on-cholesterol-part-i/ …
I highly recommend @garytaubes' books. He's doing excellent work and doesn't get the recognition he deserves. They have the coveted @nntaleb seal of approval (in the form of a book review on Amazon).

Heh why'd you go to the doctor if you were just gonna tell him he was wrong
WHOA WHOA NICK, CHILL WITH THE SEXISM. MY DOCTOR IS A WOMAN. They are the gatekeepers for referrals and I needed one of those!
