AVOIDING THE REVOLVING DOOR

  • Vinnie welcomes Ivor Cummins back, and Ivor reviews his years of expertise in biochemical engineering and data analysis for any new listeners. (2:30)
    • Ivor’s video “Cholesterol Conundrum” launched a new awareness about cholesterol. (https://youtu.be/fuj6nxCDBZ0)
    • They discuss how Ancel Keyes and Academia spread wrong information and Big Food and Big Pharma joined in.
    • This has created a “revolving door” relationship in funding and misleading information. 
  • Vinnie believes that most people want to do the right thing but are ignorant of the facts. (10:00)
    • Even a big percentage of doctors have been misled. (16:00)
  • Ivor shares what he has learned about cholesterol and how it works in our system. (17:00)
    • He explains LDL, what to pay attention to, and why higher numbers do not necessarily mean high risk.
    • Even when cholesterol is off, it’s typically a sign of a different problem such as autoimmune conditions, insulin resistance, etc. (19:00)
  • Vinnie asks if there’s a time and a place where cholesterol would be a problem. (20:00)
    • This leads to a discussion about statins and whether they are affecting the foundational problem.
    • It’s not the LDL that is the problem, it’s damaging the LDL by eating a lot of sugars. (25:45)
    • Certain numbers can indicate other issues instead.
  • Your liver will always make the amount of cholesterol you need unless artificially forced to by a medication. (34:00)
    • Ivor explains more about how cholesterol is an energy transport system.
    • He explains a “party trick” experiment that Dave Feldman did.
      • Low cholesterol isn’t necessarily good because it depends on what it is caused by.
      • Ivor gives an example of this with certain oils and plant sterols and stanols. (38:00)

VITAMINS AND YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM

  • They move on to talk about vitamins and which ones are beneficial and in what amounts. (42:00)
    • Ivor created a presentation about the benefits of vitamin D  that you can view on youtube.(https://youtu.be/v3pK0dccQ38)
    • They discuss vitamin K and the mk7 and mk4 components as well.
    • These are vital to assist in boosting insulin resistance and immunity.
