Summary

After years of demonizing dietary cholesterol, the consensus in the medical community is finally shifting: cholesterol-rich foods have a minimal impact on serum LDL or total cholesterol.

0:00 Intro
1:10 Insulin regulates the enzyme that synthesizes endogenous cholesterol.
1:50 Dietary cholesterol does not have a significant impact on serum cholesterol.
2:45 Carbohydrates increase LDL and total cholesterol and insulin.
3:30 Cholesterol has powerful benefits.
5:00 Low cholesterol diets can increase endogenous production of cholesterol and the expression of LDL receptors.
5:40 High cholesterol diet expresses fewer LDL receptors.
8:00 Eggs and meat consumption has a minimal impact on serum cholesterol.
8:53 Increased LDL cholesterol may be from of increased fat metabolism.
10:30 Type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance modifies LDL particles to be smaller and denser and more likely to become atherogenic.
13:50 Diabetes can be a side effect of Statin drugs.
14:20 Cholesterol is used to make bile.
16:20 A diet rich in seed oils may foster the modification of LDL cholesterol that can make the atherogenic.
17:45 LDL cholesterol has antiviral properties.
19:30 Insulin resistance and physical inactivity increase triglyceride production, leading to the formation of fats in the liver and elevated triglycerides and elevated vLDL cholesterol.

0:00.0	A client asked me the other day, Mike, if dietary cholesterol doesn't impact
0:03.2	serum cholesterol, what does? And so what I wanted to do is provide to you a
0:06.7	deep dive into the literature because many of you go to your doctor and your doctor
0:10.2	finds out that you have elevated LDL or total cholesterol. And so therefore you
0:14.2	should cut cholesterol out of your diet. And I want to share through this
0:17.0	systematic review and meta-analysis titled The Effects of Food on LDL
0:21.4	cholesterol levels, a systematic review of the accumulated evidence from
0:25.0	systematic reviews and meta-analysis of randomized control trials.
0:28.1	I know that's a lot of jargon here. Essentially what this analysis looked at is
0:32.1	which foods actually significantly impact serum cholesterol. And as you will soon learn,
0:37.6	it is not high cholesterol foods like eggs or meat. It is other foods. So I think it's important
0:43.1	that we all take a step back and think about why our serum LDL levels could be high and what
0:49.0	does that mean. And should we be concerned about that and other biomarkers? We're going to focus
0:53.4	on the liver. We're going to talk a lot about apolipoproteins, like apolipoprotein B,
0:57.7	also known as APOB. Apolipoprotein A1, APOA1, which is on HGL cholesterol. APOB is found on your
1:04.4	chylamicrons, your VLDL, your remnants, or ILDL and LDL particles. So interesting
1:10.8	review here. So essentially when it comes to high cholesterol foods, now you might be thinking,
1:15.5	well, what foods are high cholesterol? Well, cholesterol is a molecule that is relegated to mammals
1:20.6	and animals. So if you eat a plant-based diet, you're not getting any cholesterol from your diet.
1:25.6	Now, that doesn't mean that your cholesterol levels can't be high if you're on a vegan
1:29.3	or low meat diet, because we know that insulin regulates the enzyme that actually synthesizes
1:36.4	endogenous cholesterol, known as HMG-CoA reductase, which is how statins work. They block that
