Oils and Fats Effect on Blood Vessels

Postby bunsofaluminum » Thu Jul 30, 2020 8:23 am

Hello

where can I find the studies out there that pinpoint fats in the diet as adding to cholesterol, plaques, and inflammation in the arteries and veins?

I need something to show my sister, who has Familial Hypercholesterolemia and of course will be on meds (and should be) but I want to show her the evidence for eating extremely low fat for healing her heart.

thanks in advance.

Dr Greger's book (How Not to Die) contains excellent and up-to-date bibliography of studies. Look for the chapter on heart disease and citations associated with that chapter. There would be scores of studies listed.

Excellent. I will definitely recommend this book. She is a nurse with standard medical training, so she's going to want to see the studies. She probably knows how to read the studies LOL

thanks Drew_ab. I'll check them out. Hopefully something will be convincing to her. I think she'll be pretty open to this, because she's been a vegetarian for more years than an omnivore and she enjoys whole foods already. Now to get her off the added fats.

By the way, Jeff Novick just linked this classic review of the literature from Nathan Pritikin. It's simply incredible!
