The clinical focus on LDL and total cholesterol for prevention of aethrosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is to the exclusion of underlying root causes, which are readily modifiable by easily implemented lifestyle interventions - short thread
The unstated nuance in this whole dietary debate is that environmental signals - specifically LIGHT & TEMPERATURE dictate the suitability of different diets

Sunlight has cardiovascular benefits that exceed the comparative risks of skin cancers in an all-cause mortality risk vs benefit formulation
This isn't being communicated appropriately because subspeciality dermatology is not thinking about all cause mortality or CV death

Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) is a polypeptide that is cleaved into multiple peptide hormones critical for regulation of human metabolism. One of these is β-endorphin, an endogenous opioid. POMC is stimulated by sunlight (UV light). Nature designed us to be addicted to the sun.

Ken - the glycaemic effect of food is significantly modulated by the light it is consumed in. Prof Glen Jeffrey at UCL RCT showed this via 670nm red light ability to attenuate OGTT curve

Looking at your blue-lit iPhone screen every night, year after year is not benign
Blue light is damaging your retina, with the highest mitochondrial density of the entire body.
The pathway from nightly iPhone use to cancer:
- scroll until many hours after sunset
- blue wavelength light gives daytime signal
- turns off melatonin, master antioxidant hormone
- mitochondrial dysfunction, impaired autophagy/mitophagy
- malignancy
If you accept that
- humans thrive on red meat
- regenerative farming is future of agriculture
- fully grass fed beef with zero human chems is ideal

The blood vessels in your skin come to the surface when exposed to sun ☀️
Because the skin releases Nitric Oxide (NO) in response to the Solar UVA light.
