Reversing Heart Disease Summit 3.0!!

Dear readers,

Join me and over 40 experts on the online Reversing Heart Disease Summit 3.0 and learn how heart disease reversal is a real goal with nutrition and more. This event starts March 18th. Several recent articles on higher dietary niacin and lower CV events support older data that niacin as a supplement can reduce heart disease and even extend life. Is butter back? Not according to a large analysis from the Harvard School of Public Health where oils bested butter for heart and cancer disease risks. The coronary artery calcium CT scan has been around for 35 years, but few randomized studies have evaluated its impact on treatment and outcome. This week, an important RCT was published and shows the positive impact of routinely ordering this inexpensive and safe CT scan. A disappointing report that multivitamins after MI did not improve outcomes was published. Microplastics damage arterial lining (endothelium). Finally, an analysis predicted that worldwide obesity rates will exceed 50% by 2050. Alarming, to say the least.

Be well,

Joel Kahn, MD, FACC

      • According to an independent study analyzing 33 years of data for more than 200,000 adults in the U.S., people who consumed the highest amounts of butter had an increased risk of death from all causes and from cancer compared to those who consumed the lowest amounts of butter.
      • Alternately, a higher intake of plant-based oils, especially olive, canola and soybean oils, was associated with a lower risk of premature death from all causes. The analysis also found that a higher intake of plant-based oils was associated with a lower risk of premature death from all causes, cancer and cardiovascular disease.
      • Participants who replaced 10 gm (almost a tablespoon) of total butter intake each day with an equivalent amount of total plant-based oils had a 17% reduction in risk of death from all causes and a 17% reduction in risk of death from cancer.
