Watch the full talk, and all filmed sessions from Paleo f(x) here:

Excerpted from Chris Kresser's talk "How to Win an Argument With a Paleo Critic". As Paleo has exploded in popularity, we've seen a growing number of misleading Paleo critiques in the mainstream media.

"Only in populations that maintain very low levels of serum cholesterol, e.g., total cholesterol <150 mg/dL (or LDL cholesterol <100 mg/dL) throughout life do we find a near-absence of clinical CHD" (Agrawal, Tandon & Sharma, 2007).

Most cardiologists and research results contradict each major point in this video. According to Stamler, Wentworth, and Neaton (1986), the serum cholesterol and CAD development relationship has been observed as a continuum of LDL-cholesterol levels; the lower the level, the lower the risk.
