Description
“Dr. Ronald Krauss on LDL Cholesterol, Particle Size, Heart Disease & Atherogenic Dyslipidemia” features Rhonda Patrick and Ronald Krauss (MD) exploring how small, dense LDL particles increase heart disease risk more than total LDL. Krauss explains lipoprotein metabolism, atherogenic dyslipidemia, inflammation, and refined carbs—while challenging assumptions about saturated fat and dietary cholesterol. They examine VLDL origins, endotoxins, HDL dynamics, statins, and testing, offering a nuanced framework for understanding cholesterol, cardiovascular risk, and the limits of conventional dietary and drug strategies.
