Dave Feldman presents groundbreaking findings from a study on 100 individuals following a ketogenic diet with extremely high LDL cholesterol levels (averaging 254 mg/dL). Link: jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacadv.2025.101686
Using CT angiograms to track plaque progression over a year, the study revealed no association between LDL cholesterol levels and plaque growth. Instead, the strongest predictor of plaque progression was the existing plaque volume. This challenges the conventional view that high LDL and ApoB is high risk in all populations.
The research, conducted in collaboration with Nick Norwitz, Adrian Soto-Moto, and Dr. Matthew Budoff, is featured in the coming documentary, 'The Cholesterol Code,' which will further explore these findings. Sign up for updates at cholesterolcodemovie.com.
