Summary
Five studies on heart disease are analyzed by board-certified interventional cardiologist Dr. Columbus Batiste.
- Fasting: Can time-restricted eating actually make you more likely to develop heart disease?
- Salt and longevity: How many years can you add to your life by not adding salt to your food?
- Lifesaving effects of fish: Skepticism surrounds a study that touts the benefits of fish compared to red meat.
- Eggs and cholesterol: The study shows eggs do not raise cholesterol, but it is being called into question because of major flaws and conflicts of interest.
- Heart disease rates: They are falling, but not for everyone.
Plus, Dr. Batiste explores whether calcified and clogged arteries are reversible in every case.
He joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room LIVE.
Dr. Batiste is an assistant clinical professor at the University of California School of Medicine and author of Selfish: A Cardiologist’s Guide to Healing a Broken Heart.
