Heart disease 4, Causes of atherosclerosis

[princessjazz]

GOD BLESS THIS PERSON LOL... i am an Aspiring PA in the U.S but I came to this video while I was learning about Diabetes as I want to manage my dad's blood sugar levels and Of course curiosity led to one thing after the other.

John please do an updated video on this topic which takes into account fractionated LDL especially VLDL and Apo B . It is my understanding that only Apo B or oxidised and damaged VLD is the atherogenic. I'm interested what you think of the video by Dr Stephen Ekberg titled "your doctor is wrong about cholesterol" where he goes into some detail on this. Do you think his analysis is correct? Many thanks as always for the work you do.

HELLO DR John, after watching your wonderful videos on heart disease, i was wondering, do you have any videos on ;CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFTS(cabbage)? Which is sometimes needed due to Atherosclerosis
I Believe it  can be a single bypass, double bypass, triple bypass, quadruple bypass and quintuple bypass.?

Did you say Polyunsaturated fat causes atherosclerosis?

He’s totally wrong about fruit fruit has sugar sugar interacts with carbohydrates to create cardiovascular disease proven fact and the fact that he still pushing fruit shows that he’s not up-to-date

Avoid eating animal products and saturated fat. Eat whole grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables.

This doctor may know a lot about medicine, but I'm afraid he knows little to nothing about biochemistry! There are not two forms of cholesterol, there are two forms of lipoprotein, but they both carry the same cholesterol molecule. Cholesterol isn't a carrier molecule like a truck. The lipoproteins are the carrier molecules and it's cholesterol that they carry. Cholesterol is absolutely vital to the body. It strengthens every cell membrane in the body, it's vital for the nerves and the brain to function. Steroid hormones are made from cholesterol, and it has many other vital functions. We would die without it. LDL doesn't 'dump cholesterol in the blood' -- its job is to take cholesterol to where it's needed in the tissues. The body doesn't make 'bad' chemicals. He also doesn't know what polyunsaturated fats are. Saturated fats are those with single bonds between all the carbon atoms in the molecule: C-C. Monounsaturated means there is one carbon to carbon bond in the molecule that's double: C=C. Polyunsaturated means there are several or many double bonds between carbon atoms in the chain. Polysaturated makes no sense whatever.
