Stay Off My Operating Table SOMOT LIVE: Dr. Ovadia Responds to Inaccuracies in HuffPo Article - #79
Dr. Ovadia was quoted in a Huffington Post article. The headlines were mostly accurate, but the body of the article was a comical mish-mash of misinformation, mal-information, and outright ignorance.
In this recording from a live Twitter Spaces, Dr. O sets the record straight. He also takes questions from the audience.
A few excerpts on The 5 Harmful Myths About Food's Effect on Heart Health:
Myth 1. A low-fat diet is best for heart health.
While trans fat and hydrogenated fats found in processed foods should be avoided, saturated fat, which has been historically linked to heart disease, is not the real culprit. It's the polyunsaturated fat that’s more harmful to your health.
Myth 2. Eggs are bad for your heart.
Despite eggs' high cholesterol content, our blood cholesterol levels are not much impacted by the cholesterol in our diet.
Myth 3. Red meat should be avoided at all costs.
There is no strong evidence of red meat affecting heart health.
Myth 4. If you're on medication for your heart health, it means you can eat whatever you want.
Statins have little effect on weight, but a nutrient-poor diet increases the risk of heart disease. Improving your diet won't need you to take any more medications.
Myth 5. Changing your diet isn't enough to reverse the damage already done to your heart.
It’s never too late to start looking after your heart. A change in your diet and lifestyle can still improve your situation.
