He is a UK MD who has been persecuted for going against the mainstream pro-statin advice and has successfully fought back. He also has a sense of humour and is easy to read, even when getting technical.
Hi -cholesterol levels contribute to muscle gain? You are all over the place with cause and effect. Cross sectional studies show that low cholesterol is associated with frail people (some cancers feed on cholesterol) this does not mean that cholesterol has anything to do with muscle mass!
Yes the correlation between increased saturated fat and cholesterol is not linear as most people eat so much they're at the top of the curve meaning eating more makes very little difference. The same is true of CVD risk, if you measure CVD deaths between high fat and even higher fat- which is what the famous 2010 'butter is back' study did- you will see little difference.
If however you compare outcomes of people with actual low fat diets, like the rural chinese- they have 17 times (not %, 17 times) less CVD. Don't we want that?
We need some dietary fat, but not much more than you can readily get from whole plant foods. You can go without dietary fat, but walnuts are fine. There is no reason why they shouldn’t be. Fat does not cause CVD.
The results of an N = 1 (1 test subject) experiment on consuming 720 eggs in 30 days and the effect on blood cholesterol level. The channel owner has plenty of content and uses provocative demonstrations to make his point and start critical thinking.
This was helpful. Thank you for helping me learn more about saturated fats and cardiovascular health. I just discovered your writing and I appreciate the topics you select.
I enjoy your “deep dives” into these issues, many thanks for taking the time to explain!

I highly recommend Malcolm Kendrick's books, and have a look at his website:

is it true that lp(a) is the worst of all for atheroslerosis?

Eating saturated fat and cholesterol from other animals (no one is suggesting that they are themselves harmful, of course they provide protection in the body etc etc but the body makes what it needs from the diet ) has a huge impact not only on CVD but also on hypotension and T2 diabetes etc etc. https://jowaller.substack.com/p/of-course-statins-dont-work-cholesterol?utm_source=publication-search
Hunter gatherers such as the Masai have short life spans so are not ideal to base nutrition advice on and Inuits and Yupiks in the Arctic have terrible CVD and early death! https://jowaller.substack.com/p/claims-of-weston-a-price-which-are
Sir, you write volubly, but not very well.
What jurisdiction thinks someone with a PhD and MS is a medical doctor?
What is the rationale for him to be photographed with a stethoscope around his shoulders?
I suspect, to deceive unwary people.

There's more on it on that site (and a lot of other important things as well).
Kevin, what do you make of the McDougall diet? Do we need any dietary fat at all? Are walnuts bad for the heart?
We need some dietary fat, but not much more than you can readily get from whole plant foods. You can go without dietary fat, but walnuts are fine. There is no reason why they shouldn’t be. Fat does not cause CVD.
OK; thank you. Is the leading cause of CVD a low quality plant based diet?
I don’t think plant-based diets are too common. But a higher-quality plant-based diet is certainly better than a lower-quality one.
