What doctors should tell you about diet (part 3)

To make this video Dr. David Puder, Dr. David Penner, and Dr. Oliver Drouin did a literature review of around 300 journal articles and attended nutrition conferences. They summarized some of the most revolutionary and thought provoking evidence on a plant based diet.
"It is our pleasure to share with you a diet which has simply brought us naturally to our ideal body weight, made us feel better, think clearer, run faster, and as we spread the news, hopefully transform the lives of many of my patients in the hospital!"

The Ornish diet decreased LDL but what happened to the HDL? Low-fat, high carbohydrate diets are known to lower HDL (not a good thing) and raise triglycerides (not a good thing). While such a diet may decrease total cholesterol and LDL, a lowered HDL results in a worsened TC/HDL ratio.

@auggiedoggy You are right that when going on a plant based diet, the triglycerides increase. In the Lifestyle Heart Trial by Dean Ornish, the group under trial had an increase from a mean of 227 to 258 after one year. However LDL decreased from a mean of 143 to 86 and HDL went from 40 to 36.

@auggiedoggy However I believe that although HDL and Triglycerides saw some small changes in what the paradigm of medicine says is the wrong direction, the overall success of the intervention group remains revolutionary. At five years the group in the study that did not have the lifestyle intervention had a total of 45 cardiac events (2.25 events per person), whereas the group that followed the Ornish diet had only 0.89 cardiac events per person.

@auggiedoggy Further the percent diameter stenosis of the coronary arteries actually decreased 3.1 absolute percentage points after 5 years, something that no other lifestyle like the normal recommended cardiac diet or ADA diet has ever shown in medical literature.
