“Red yeast rice lowers LDL through monacolin K, which is chemically identical to lovastatin, so it shares statin-related mechanisms and requires attention to potency, contamination, medicine interactions, and muscle or liver effects.”

“Drinking red wine is associated with more favorable cardiometabolic health outcomes: less visceral fat, lower levels of inflammation, and higher levels of high-density lipoproteins. Drinking white wine is associated with greater bone density.”

“The oversimplified view that high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is good, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is bad has led to misunderstandings of the relationship between cholesterol and cardiovascular disease risk.”

“The size and content of lipoproteins carrying HDL cholesterol vary considerably. When measured together, the HDL cholesterol carried by these particles is an indicator of lower heart disease risk. Low HDL cholesterol has been associated with high levels of the artery-damaging small dense LDL particles.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses fragmented sleep, lipid biomarkers including ApoB and LP(a), coffee makers and bean quality, and choline supplementation.

“Effect of long-term exposure to lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol beginning early in life on the risk of coronary heart disease: a Mendelian randomization analysis. J Am Coll Cardiol.”

“Individual responses to diet can be influenced by a person's genetic makeup, however. Knowing a person's genetic factors influencing their response to diet may be beneficial component of a multi-part strategy developed in coordination with professional care for keeping ApoB in check.”

“His research has shown that the chief culprit of atherogenic dyslipidemia is simple, refined sugar. In this clip, Dr. Ronald Krauss shares his experience in research showing heart disease risk is more influenced by sugar consumption than fat consumption.”

“Dr. Krauss postulates that small, dense LDL particles — known to be more damaging to arteries — remain in circulation longer, and thus the LPS they carry stays in the blood longer, contributing to atherosclerosis.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick answers audience questions on various health, nutrition, and science topics in this Q&A session.
