Here's a quote from this EXCELLENT BLOG -

"In a later review, Keys again addressed Yudkin’s claims regarding sugar intake and coronary heart disease in international comparisons:4

In regard to international comparisons, there are countries with a high per capita consumption of sugar and of saturated fats; those countries tend to have high CHD death rates. And there are countries with low per capita sugar and saturated fat intakes; these have low CHD rates. When all these countries are put together, statistical calculation naturally shows CHD mortality is correlated with both sugar and fat intake. However, partial correlation analysis shows that when sugar is held constant, CHD is highly correlated with per capita saturated fats in the diet but when fat is constant there is no significant correlation between sugar in the diet and the CHD incidence rate. It should be noted, too, that Yudkin carefully avoids mentioning the fact that 2 countries with the highest per capita sugar consumption, Cuba and Venezuela, suffer low CHD mortality; it is notable that the dietary intake of estimated fats is low in both Cuba and Venezuela. 

Another flaw in Yudkin’s hypothesis about sugar and coronary heart disease that Plant Positive addressed was the contradictory evidence from animal experiments of atherosclerosis. When diets rich in dietary cholesterol and saturated fat, such as egg yolks are used to induce atherosclerosis in non-human primates, the atherosclerosis process has actually been reversed when these atherogenic components are replaced with chow very rich in sugar.5 6 This does not suggest that sugar should be considered a heart healthy food, but does emphasize the fact that sugar alone cannot induce atherosclerosis in the absence of dietary cholesterol and elevated blood cholesterol, and therefore cannot not explain the coronary heart disease epidemic."

Thomas Dayspring, Lipidologist Lost

Plant Positive does a nice job on Thomas Dayspring, Lipidologist

Dr Thomas Dayspring has that long term Low Carb Chubby Look.

Most of the people, I've seen doing low carb long term, have that Chubby Look.

Plant Positive's excellent work defending the China Study.

The Dangers of Large Fluffy "Type a" LDL Cholesterol

Low Carbers take great comfort in their unnaturally high levels of Large Fluffy "Type a" Cholesterol.

Large Fluffy Type a Cholesterol is Atherogenic.

I will add to this as time permits.

In the following video, Plant Positive does an excellent job on the Dangers of Unnaturally High Levels of Large Fluffy "Type a" Cholesterol.

Here is the Transcript of The Video

Here are some quotes from the link -

"The best known study to raise doubts about the importance of small, dense LDL as a predictor of the degree of atherosclerosis was this one. This study showed that both of the basic phenotypes of LDL are atherogenic and if anything, the large LDLs are worse."

"This study found that large LDLs predicted coronary events. Large LDLs are not benign."

"My earlier slide that said “Chapter 17” at the top referenced this study. This showed that VLDLs and their remnants do make their way under the surface of the artery. VLDLs are larger than the largest LDLs. If VLDLs are atherogenic, how can anyone say that large LDLs are not?"

"As Dr Dayspring has said, it is not valid to conclude that a distribution of LDL sizes favoring large LDLs indicates safety from heart disease. People with familial hypercholesterolemia tend to have just such a pattern and we know that FH is deadly."

"In animal models, there have been inconsistent findings regarding LDL size and atherosclerosis. This editorial makes reference to a study that showed small, dense LDLs to be less atherogenic."

"Fortunately, Oravec has put out a better paper since then. Here he clearly tells us that in young people, he and his colleagues found that large and intermediate LDLs were associated with premature heart attacks and small, dense LDLs were not. Yes, you heard me right, low carbers. Read it for yourselves. So much for non-atherogenic familial hyperbetalipoproteinemia 1,2. They said that small, dense LDLs are probably an age-related phenomenon."

"This study also looked at young people, in this case Finns, over a six-year period. These authors did not find any evidence that small LDL particle size was associated with increased LDL oxidation or metabolic syndrome." (Emphasis Added)

Oxidized Polyunsaturated Fat vs Saturated Fat. Which One Really Causes Heart Disease?

 Omega 6 and Omega 3 from Polyunsaturated Fats are ESSENTIAL fatty acids. The body cannot make them and they have to come from food.

The dietary requirement for Saturated Fat is ZERO.

Oxidized Polyunsaturated Fat vs Saturated Fat. Which One Really Causes Heart Disease?

The answer  is in this video.
