I agree with some of what he says but he may have an ax to grind

And he does have something to sell: Dr. Lundell’s clinical testing led to the development of a unique supplement designed to reduce inflammation, HeartShot ™ developed by Asantae.

Ranger thanks for posting that. That was some interesting reading where he goes against the conventional wisdom of treating cholesterol suggesting that vascular inflammation is what should be eliminated. All the statin peddlers out there sure won't be agreeing with this line of thought.

I had heard this Dr the other day on some TV program and was wanting to read more on that but I had forgotten his name so I wasn't finding any info on that. It will be interesting to see how his idea plays out and if it will hold up overtime. I wonder if Crisco will now be acceptable to put back into our diets. Yummy yummy.

If you missed "60 Minutes", you can watch a presentation by Dr. Lustig here. It's long and gets a little technical at times, but it's well worth it, IMO.

Has anyone been able to find a place on the internet to buy some of that HeartShot the doctor developed?

I have, it is in most stores. It is called Bud Light....

Found some links about the product but nothing about where one could actually buy anything. It's really looking like a real glossy scam to me kind of like a Amway type of thing perhaps. Something I wouldn't participate in.
My main interest was to look for scientific support for his inflammation theory and then perhaps change my diet to go that route but actually buying someone's snake oil products is something I don't do -- which by the way this is starting to look like the situation from my skeptical point of view.

I tend to agree with you LBM. On all counts.

Shoot, I thought everybody was supposed to die from eating eggs. Heart doctor told me I was fat and I told him he was an azzzhole.
