1/ I want to give huge props to @DrNadolsky for doing this #MakingLMHR experiment!

2/ We've had an ongoing debate on how much (or little) #saturated fat consumption is responsible for high #LDL #cholesterol levels we typically see for #LMHRs.
Whereas I (we) believe #LEM to have greater relevance overall.
Which led to the experiment👇

3/ Could @DrNadolsky emulate the #LMHR phenotype while *not* being fat adapted? (or at least, to get his #LDL #cholesterol that high?)
He consumed two sticks of butter a day to test this! 🧈🧈
Yes, the experiment went more toward my prediction, so alas, I won't be flying there.

New paper tries to claim high inter-individual variability as an excuse for backing the notion that #saturated fat is unhealthy. Things that I thought as I read…
1/ Abstract depicts sat fat as a burger with fries. Sigh...

2/ calls out isocaloric replacement studies 4replacing SAT w carbs rather than PUFA. Fair point, but what practical options r available to people in this world. How r ppl going to read this article? Trade butter for raw tahini, or soybean oil margarine, or go for low-fat cookie?
3/ Cite whole foods complex matrix as a confounding variable. Maybe just say eat whole food and not processed junk? most of American’s sat fat comes from sweets and pasteries, not whole foods. let's just agree the ice cream isn't saving your heart health, don't lump in the steak
