    Effect of Apo B when:

    • elevated + "healthy" cholesterol (60% increase)
  • elevated + "high" cholesterol (100% increase)
  • Walnuts good for cardio health

    Sugar - added sugar increases apo - B

    Exercise - Apo B will go down

    Sleep - very important to lower apo - B

    Thyroid Hormones - low thyroid = increased cholesterol

    • instead of statin drugs - better option is work to improve thyroid issue

    Effects of Fish Oil - 1 tbsp daily = 3-% reduction in production of apo - B and triglycerides

    • analogy of fireplace: logs vs paper

    Acute risk of excess apo - B - ratio of apo - B vs apo - A when close = Indole 3 - cartinol will lower Apo B +/-56%

  • : 365 days : 34 million/day
  • states that received the highest concentration of pills
    • Rural areas received a lot of pills per year
