Important study!
High LDL-C was found NOT to correlate with plaque build-up in lean, fit people on a low-carb diet.
This lean population "hyper-responds" to low-carb, seeing their LDL-C rise dramatically. So, quite reasonably, they worry about heart-disease risk. But this study shows that any worry is v. likely unfounded.
-->This study also raises serious questions about the reliability of LDL-C more generally as an indicator of CVD health. If it's not correlated with plaque...then its predictive powers must be questioned.
Study needs to be replicated, of course. But what an amazing finding. Congrats @realDaveFeldman and team!
