In the face of flawed nutrition guidelines that have been influenced by sponsorships and contracts from processed food and soda companies, I would like to present some clinical studies showing no CVD risk of hunter-gatherer, meat-based, or keto diets.
- Small dense LDL particles or oxidized LDL particles often get caught in inflamed arterial tissue which has become porous and sticky.
- Inflammation can be caused by chronic hyperinsulinemia and high blood sugar OR by bacteria.
- Atherosclerotic plaque builds up as our immune system, monocytes and macrophages, attack the bacteria. Foam cells are formed and small, dense LDL particles can be caught in the repair process.
- Visceral fat increases risk for ICU admission and the need for ventilation for Covid-19
- The immune system and organ function are compromised by visceral fat.
- The best ways to reduce visceral fat are intermittent fasting and a low-carb diet.
