1/ This screenshot is from the #GameChangersMovie which just hit @netflix. As you all know, I'm not interested in the nutrition debate -- but I *am* very interested in #lipids. In this part, Dr. Robert Vogel is sharing the outcome of experiment (around 22:20 mark)... 
2/ He had athletes try burritos and test their blood two hours after. Once with an animal protein and fat burrito, then once with a plant-based burrito. Naturally, I'd expect the fat from the meal to show up in the blood at the two hour mark via chylomicrons...
3/ But the interesting part is where one athlete who consumed only #plantbased and had clear serum asks, "So the fat from the avocado doesn't have that kind of effect...?"
Dr. Vogel: "That's right."
Dr. Vogel: "That's right."
4/ That perked up my ears. I'd like to test this myself.
As experiments go, this might be one of the easiest to do yet. Just need it to be isocaloric, fat-matched and carb-matched avocado vs animal-based meal. Test blood pre-meal, and 2 hours postprandial to a centrifuge.

5/ You're all welcome to make your predictions, just keep it respectful and science-y.
