Vinnie is super-excited with this week’s guest, Ivor Cummins, from Dublin, Ireland.  He was originally a chemical engineer whose work was complex problem solving.  When he was told that his cholesterol was too high, he set out on a journey to figure out better ways to deal with the problem…and in the process, found out that fat was not the problem, but the answer.

How Ivor Did Research

  • Had to remain brutally objective.  The problem with much research regarding food and diet is that researchers look for a way to support their own hypothesis
  • When people already have opinions such as “Fat is bad” or “whole grains are good”, they tend to get stuck

GGT and Ferratin

  • His GGT and Ferratin levels where high, GGT twice the normal rangel
  • Both indicated inflammation and related to high mortality rates
  • Found in people with high carb diets
  • Excessive GGT is connected with liver disease, cardiovascular disease
  • Cholesterol not a big factor where GGT and Ferratin levels are normal

Omega 6 and Omega 3

  • Only need a small amount
  • Omega 6 drowns out Omega 3
  • There are correlations showing that when the ratio of 6 and 3 is out of whack, then the effect coincides with mortalityt

Diet

  • Calories In/Calories Out does not work
  • Misunderstanding about dietary fat
  • People believe doctor’s misunderstanding with an incorrect hypothesis about dietary fat and carb consumption
