This is the third and final lecture of a 3 part series delivered by Dr Mason at the Low Carb Down Under Gold Coast conference in October 2022.

The prevailing theory of atherosclerotic heart disease is demolished and Dr Mason carefully constructs a case, using peer reviewed science, that blood clots are in fact, the main source of atherosclerosis. The nexus between the triglyceride to HDL ratio and heart disease is examined with particular reference to the root causes of cardiovascular mortality.

As a bonus, Dr Mason lifts the lid on just what exactly makes seed oils so problematic.....and it comes down to much more than oxidation stress. The major issue in fact, is that seed oils contain phytosterols, or fake plant cholesterol, which interferes with the normal essential functions of cholesterol within the body.

Dr Paul Mason obtained his medical degree with honours from the University of Sydney. He is also a fellow of the Australasian College of Sports and Exercise Physicians, holds a Bachelor's degree in Physiotherapy and a Masters degree in Occupational Health. He is currently Chief Medical Officer of the Defeat Diabetes program, an evidencebased program focussed on lifestyle management of metabolic illnesses, including type 2 diabetes.

If you would like more information on how the triglyceride to HDL ratio can be used to predict possible benefit from statin therapy, check out this article coauthored by Dr Mason, Prof Bikman and Prof Diamond. You might also consider sharing it with your doctor. https://journals.lww.com/coendocrino...

Dr Malcom Kendrick has authored an excellent book on the clotting theory of atherosclerosis, and it provided some of the material referenced within this lecture. Dr Mason highly recommends it.
