Re: Small LDL-P as a predictor of CAD (and progression)

After listening to a podcast (kindly provided by George) featuring Dr. William Davis, a cardiologist who also specializes in treating E4s, I decided to investigate his assertion that small LDL-P is the BEST predictor of CAD. Surprising to me, I found quite a bit of evidence to support his claim [.....

Re: Methylation consultation request - merouleau

Yikes, 19 pages! I notice that you do not have an issue with rs1801133 (MTHFR C677T), which seems to be the most impactful of the methylation-related SNPs. I spent a fair bit of time digging into the details of my report, which also had lots of red and yellow, and I can't claim to have anything to s...

Re: Fish Oil

Thank you for sharing, Stavia. For me, the paper reinforced comprehensively the message of this entire topic - evidence for/against fish oil supplementation for E4 carriers is contradictory and uncertain. My current approach is to eat a can of sardines - Crown Prince Natural One Layer Brisling Sardi...

Re: Weird family ApoE news...

Skibike, here's an excerpt from a LEF article: N-Acetyl-Cysteine and Homocysteine Reduction Research studies have documented the homocysteine-lowering effect of the nutraceutical, N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC), which can lead to a highly significant reduction in cardiovascular events, owing to the ability...

Re: Weird family ApoE news...

Julie, is your son using the more bioactive forms for B6, B12, and Folate? They're called pyridoxal 5-phosphate, [6S]-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid, and methylcobalamin, respectively. Also, have you considered suggesting that he take n-acetyl cysteine? After my 12.8 homocysteine result in March, I be...

Re: Combining IF and exercise

The breathlessly described cascade of metabolic events culminates in the following beneficial state: [...] your body switches from carbohydrate to fat fueling; and energy is shifted from storage to expenditure. It is now known that that shift towards fatty acid oxidation creates an ideal metabolic e...

Re: WAPF "Wise Traditions" Article by Amy Berger

Love this paper for all the reasons Russ and Julie cite. I sent it along to my 21-year-old E3/E4 son because of the observation that AD-predicting reductions in the cerebral metabolic rate of glucose can be observed in young E4 carriers. It's a persuasive reason for him to understand the lifelong AD...

Re: Warnings for a HFLC Diet

I think your warning is fine. We'll never get anywhere if we can't establish simple guidelines that do way more good than harm. That said, I think this caveat could be applied to most nutrition generalizations: "Scientific understanding of human biochemical physiology is weak. The discipline is...

Re: Warnings for a HFLC Diet

But he's not that high in carb if you look at his ratios. 50-60% are fats and then then like 30% carb and the rest protein. Coupled with intermittent fasting, that describes my diet from December 2012 - October 2013. In August 2013 I had a good NMR - LDL-P 721, Small LDL-P < 90, trigs 26, HDL 79, L...
