Great video Brad, you really brought it together on how the template is flawed and dietary recommendations need to be individualized by their personal health profile. Wreck the template!

Thanks, doctor. This is one of the best videos on the subject and to the point. The naysayers only want to hear what they want to hear.

Another study says that LDL is indeed a problem, but its a very very small one next to the other risk factors. Its like 9th in the list of magnitude. So if we can get the other advantages with the diets that cause a bit of a LDL rise, its a good deal actually!
