Chris and I argue which is a better name for a band: Koagulation or Activator X (untrue)

In truth: Chris schools me on cholesterol and fat soluble vitamins.

I don't know much but was able to write down some words I heard in this episode :-)

Chris Masterjohn's website: http://www.cholesterol-and-health.com/
Vegetarianism
Nutrient Deficiency
Soy
Weston A. Price Foundation
Tooth Decay
China Study
- Chris's 2005 review: The Truth About The China Study

Bryan's favorite sterol: Cholesterol!
Avoiding the Bio-Chemistry rat hole
Cholesterol's vital role in the body
Cholesterol is the Victim- not the Perpetrator
The war on cholesterol
Protection against heart disease
Nutrients
Cholesterol by the numbers and native cultures
Oxidation
Lipoprotein
Good (HDL) vs. Bad (LDL) -invalid argument
Insulin Resistance and Genetics- 2 ways to secure a cholesterol problem
Cholesterol LDL + HDL = Total Cholesterol?
Total:HDL
Oxidized LDL test? Nope
Lipoprotein(a) - Lp(a)
Cholesterol tests are snapshots.
Thyroid problem - Hypothyroidism
LDL patterns A & D
A= Large and fluffy LDL (good) associated with snowflakes and unicorns (untrue)
D= Small dense LDL (bad) associated w/heart disease (true!)
Overwhelming evidence: Poor clearance of LDL- cause of heart disease
Redundant indicators
Discover the cause- then decide what to do
Compromised (or low) thyroid activity
Insulin! Yeah, it's important. Let's clear that LDL!
Insulin resistance, a major, major problem
Thyroid or Genetics, prolly one of these 2 things
Pancreatitis! I was supposed to finish the story (joke) here and I didn't. There's no 'someone I know', tis me that fears the pancreatitis
Diets and isms
Eating the Weston Price way, but what does that mean
Robert McCarrison
Nutrition=friend Nutritionism=foe
Key sources of fat soluble vitamins:
- dairy, seafood (shellfish), animal products-organ meats, insects, small animals
Reduce carbohydrate content to that found in natural foods
A, D, K and then E and the C
How A, D and K function together
E and C function together
Koagulation
Activator X = K2
K1 Leafy greens (common in diet)
K2 Animals and Ferments (rare in diet)
2006 the rebirth of K
K2 supports and activates
A attacked in 90's
S Johansen
How A is related to D
Sloppy inferences
A and D should be supplemented together
Ratio of A, D, K
Stressing over the diet- Fail
The USDA and conventional wisdom rat hole
Low Fat problems for Chris
I've got to get this poster
Pressures -Science - Evidence
Be cool in school if you're in a tough spot, hang in there and build evidence
Expect Chris to continue blogging
