Through experimentation, I've been tweaking Dr. Perlmutter's diet (less animals fats/proteins) to make it heart healthy for 4/4 me. Then, to find, Dr. Grundy, a top notch heart surgeon, recommending a diet very similar to the one I've settled on- wow!!! This is the confirmation I've needed. Once I'm back home and able to devote some time to this, I'm going to email Dr. Grundy with a list of questions. I may try to set up a phone call or Skype with him to learn more. Maybe a teleconference with us all? From what I understand (Lilly can confirm) the current book foes NOT go into detail for E4s, but the pending 2nd book may.
And, Robb Wolfe is having success with heavy MUFA too? Any idea of macronutrient ratios Robb is recommending?
You and me both, Russ. I KNEW you'd be hung up on this. I also find it ironic that the ancestral allele can't handle animal fats? I keep going back to the idea that we are undoing damage. Our current healthful diet is perhaps a reaction to past insults...I still can't reconcile in my mind avoidance of natural animal fats with my laymen's understanding of evolutionary history and E4 as the ancestral allele, but willing to follow data and best insight.
EDIT: Jan Peter, I can hardly wait for yours and Sandra's NMRs! Please share.
