1/6 I'd like to both retweet and add on to @NutritionMadeS3's point here...
Again, and with emphasis, my position is one of cautious optimism. That's an explicit acknowledgement of uncertainty, even if I have a leaning toward the positive in this context...

2/6 I discuss this at length in 13-15 of my pinned tweet
Hence the importance of #LMHRstudy
I'd hope this were self-evident, but if I were completely certain high LDL + high HDL + low TG = low risk in fat-adapted context, there'd be no effort for a study

3/6 I've chatted with @NutritionMadeS3 and others on evidence I consider very compelling regarding the connection of health and illness for lipid metabolism and their impact on lipid profiles. But I likewise stress we'd be better served with prospective data in this context
4/6 That's where LMHRs provide a kind of insight we've never had before. Again, remember the seminal work of Brown and Goldstein re the lipid hypothesis started with homozygous FH, where children with super high LDL (500 mg/dL+) and no other RF observed rapid atherosclerosis.
5/6 This could well be happening with LMHRs and it's why I'm extremely motivated (along with @DrNadolsky and @DrRagnar) to get this study rolling as soon as possible. (Currently in IRB)
Many low carbers aren't waiting for the study to take steps ( see

6/6 And, as always, I don't want anything I say or discuss to be taken as medical advice. Consult your doctor, do your own research, and come to the conclusion that works best for you.
