On today’s episode of JIMMY RANTS on The LLVLC Show, we take a look at a new “study” that makes a dubious connection between Keto and coronary calcium.

“How can they say with a straight face that this is a low-carbohydrate diet? It’s not even close!”

 - JIMMY MOORE

One of the major benefits of eating a low-carb diet are the incredible cardiovascular health improvements that happen as a result of restricting carbohydrate and increasing fat and protein. Lower triglycerides, lower blood sugar, lower blood insulin, lower inflammation, higher HDL cholesterol, reduced blood pressure, and more are the signs that you’re eating less carbs in your diet. But a new study from Chinese researchers is now claiming a low-carb diet, especially one consisting of animal-based fat and protein, Will lead to progression of coronary artery calcium (CAC). ⁣

In this episode of JIMMY RANTS on The LLVLC Show, I read from the October 16, 2020 study published by Chinese researchers in the journal Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology entitled “Low-Carbohydrate Diet Score and Coronary Artery Calcium Progression.” They claim that the participants in the “low-carb“ cohort saw the greatest progression of CAC as compared to the moderate and higher carb cohorts. What do they consider low-carb—45-49% of total energy intake! ⁣

Oh, I have so much to say about this very bad scientific study and you can hear all about it in today’s episode!⁣
