I am keto / carnivore because of my heart. Had a bit of a blockage that was taken care of during a heart valve replacement (long story).

After the surgery I did a lot of research in regards to what to eat to reduce heart disease. I found plenty of anecdotal evidence on YouTube and other places.

The one thing that stuck me was that sugar damages arteries. This is something you don’t hear.

When on the keto / carnivore diet your bloodwork will normalize however, LDL cholesterol will go up. I found a study that correlated that with LOWER all cause mortality.

If you are worried about the saturated fat and cholesterol thing… don’t! It’s been a sham from the beginning to sell statin drugs.

If you have any questions, I am more than happy to help. Keep up your journey.

That's interesting! If you ever find that study, I'd love to look at it. But don't go out of your way or anything! Thanks for sharing your experience, Jeremiah!

Here is actually the one I was thinking of, been awhile since I thought of all this.

This one show the protective nature of HIGH LDL and the harm of low LDL

Here is the graf that shows the protective nature of high LDL. Below hazard ratio of 1.0 you are less likely to die from the LDL.

What to notice is for high LDL the error bars (dashed lines) dip way down into protective.

My doctor wanted me to get my LDL down to below 70. That by this graph would only harm me. I laugh at him.
