“In Deep Nutrition you say, paraphrasing,
‘Trans fat consumption interferes with hormone expression and daily infusions of sugar interferes with hormone receptivity.’(On my kindle it is listed at location 922, I don’t have a page #)
In considering this could it be plausible that in the absence of trans fat (and mega trans fat) our bodies would be better able to deal with a higher carb diet? Could this perhaps help explain the French ‘paradox’?

A second question if there is time

In the LLVC interview episode 459 you discussed the phenomenon called apoptosis which is possibly the only way to eliminate stored trans fats. Extremely fascinating! You mention the importance of exercise and nutrition for this process to occur but didn’t go into details. Would you be able to expand on what type of nutrition is needed and if the type of exercise matters?”

The article shows nice images of coronary arteries getting nice and wide opened looking. I am ssuming it’s not simply doctored images and that the arteries are actually clean and not invested with non-luminal disease only visible on intravenous ultrasound.

However, the key element of the diet is likely the avoidance of oxidized fats, not the strict limitation of all fats. The author seemingly ignores the fact that we know that only oxidized LDL promotes arterial damage and not healthy LDL. Because naturally occuring fats are not oxidized, there is no reason to avoid foods like butter, eggs, lobster and so on as long as they are cooked in ways that do not promote excessive heat damage, ie traditional cooking.
