[QUOTE="Marco N Cognito, post: 101478, member: 13"] From everything I've researched, insulin resistance (IR) is the main driver for CVD in general (elevated Lp(a) included) so, unless one has the APOE4 variant, whole food fats (MUFAs and SFAs, and NOT PUFAs) are not the enemy and are beneficial to lipid profiles. According to Dr. William Davis, carbs and especially grains, as is standard fare for the SAD (wheat being the most deleterious) is to blame for the inflammation and IR that stems from a diet high in carbs. Also, modern wheat is garbage, GMO'd "Frankenwheat", nothing like the ancient wheat eaten for thousands of years in ancestral diets. I think a modified keto diet (55% fat, 30% protein, 15% carbs) is the safest way to go for most with periodic refeeds of healthly, non-grain carbs from starchy root vegetables and resistant starch (non-glycemic/prebiotic) carbs. It's complex science, and one needs to do a lot of self-experimentation with before and after bloodwork using advanced lipid panels (not the useless standard lipid panels) and see what works best for them. I'm in that spot now, trying to tweak and figure out what I've done right and what I'm doing wrong with respect to my lipid profile including factoring in genetic tendencies toward IR/T2D, thyroid function, and gut microbiome (gut health, BTW, is huuuge).
