Episode notes
INSIGHT

LDL Particles Cause Atherosclerosis

  • LDL-C and ApoB–containing lipoproteins are causally linked to atherosclerosis, not just correlated.
  • Reducing particle number lowers the chance they lodge in arterial walls and start inflammation.
INSIGHT

Food Cholesterol Usually Plays A Small Role

  • Dietary cholesterol has minimal average impact on blood cholesterol for most people.
  • Individual genetic differences create hyper-responders who must test and tailor intake.
ADVICE

Boost Fruit And Vegetable Intake

  • Eat more fruit and vegetables aiming toward 10 portions (80 g each) per day for cardiovascular benefit.
  • Each extra portion lowers CVD risk (approx 4% per portion) and improves many metabolic markers.
