Harvard Med Student & Scientist Lowers Cholesterol with Oreos - with Nick Norwitz
Nick Norwitz, PhD and Harvard Medical student, showed he can lower his LDL cholesterol twice as much with Oreo cookies compared to statins. Since Nick is a lean mass hyper-responder (LMHR) following a ketogenic diet, he sought to demonstrate how LDL lowering may not always be the ultimate goal, especially if you get there with Oreos! But what does this mean for how we see LDL, and how it might impact the understanding of LMHRs?
Many LMHRs follow the ketogenic diet as a medical intervention to treat conditions such as diabetes or mental disorders. Based on the “lipid energy model,” we can hypothesize that LDL elevations may not have the same impact on someone who is an LMHR. The results of Norwitz’s provocative experiment serve as a call to action for further scientific investigation to help patients weigh risks and benefits when pursuing treatment options.
