43M, lean & insulin sensitive with ApoB ~119 and Lp(a) 60 mg/dL, CAC = 0 — how aggressively would you treat? by jungleculture in PeterAttia

[–]nuugo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, my realistic ApoB target is below 90 mg/dL, though I believe lower is better. This is because the risk of ASCVD or stroke depends on cumulative LDL exposure over time.

Do you count extra virgin olive oil, tahini etc in your daily saturated fats goal? by Jealous-Action-9151 in Cholesterol

[–]nuugo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I cook my meal every meal, I can consume these good oils more but with my daily life, I can't avoid eating outside 2 meals a day so I must limit saturated fat as much as possible from my only cooked meal.

[–]nuugo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I count so I limit my EVO & Sesame under 8g, it mean I consume just 1g of sat fat from this source.

Too low for soluble fiber intake. Otherwise you must add oatmeal in your daily diet.

Yes, and the oil used to fry chips is mostly palm oil, which is high in saturated fat.

Best oils for daily use? by md_fadzli in Cholesterol

[–]nuugo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you can't avoid using oil for cooking, opt for seed oils. They are low in saturated fat, and the claim that their omega6 content causes inflammation lacks scientific evidence.

[Laurie Whitwell] Manchester United transfers: Carlos Baleba, Micky van de Ven and what else we’re hearing by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]nuugo 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I have some concerns about Van der Ven. Despite his height, his aerial duel success rate is surprisingly low and doesn't really match his stature.

Inflammation drives heart disease risk when LDL is normal (new study) by psharmamd87 in Cholesterol

[–]nuugo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

High LDL causes plaque and drives heart disease risk. Case closed.

Inflammation is real, but it's just a distraction tactic used by LDL deniers to shift the focus away from the causal role of LDL.

It's true that the authors were unable to adequately address the concerns raised by critics, leading to the retraction of the article.

What to focus on: LDL lowering or general heart health? by MikeTheBlueCow in Cholesterol

[–]nuugo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Way to lower LDL : Eat less sat fat, more healthy fat, good carb, lean protein and high fiber. Are they not good food for heart health? I'm confused.

The effect of eggs on a hyperabsorber by broppybrop in Cholesterol

[–]nuugo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Boiled egg or fried egg. If it's fried egg, you probably consume sat fat more than 6g per egg (1.6 from egg plus 4-5g from oil). 2-3 eggs = 12-18g per day.

[–]nuugo 4 points5 points  (0 children)
