Dr. William Davis tells the truth about heart disease risks
Following up on Part 1 of my podcast interview with Dr. William Davis which aired on Monday, I’m pleased to share Part 2 of that interview in Episode 186 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore.” Dr. William Davis from “Heart Scan Blog” continues to explain the truth about how to live a heart-healthy life. In today’s episode, he discusses why LDL cholesterol is pretty much irrelevant unless you know the particle size and shares why the late Tim Russert’s death earlier this year was completely preventable as I explained in this blog post about it. Dr. Davis knows from whence he speaks!

Now that you’ve heard both parts of my Dr. William Davis interview, what did you think? Did what he have to say make sense? Was there anything you will change about your health management in light of what he discussed? Talk about it all in the show notes section of Episode 186. Don’t forget to pick up your copy of Dr. Davis’ book Track Your Plaque: The Only Heart Disease Prevention Program That Shows How to Use the New Heart Scans to Detect, Track and Control Coronary Plaque and visit the “Heart Scan Blog” often for even more from Dr. Davis! And be looking for Dr. Davis’ explosive new book about the dastardly medical profiteering that is going on called Heart Scam coming in late 2009.
Next week, we have two more excellent interviews to share with you. Monday will feature Irishman Mark McManus from the “Muscle Hack” blog talk about how low-carb living has helped him become the fit and trim through a healthy low-carb lifestyle. You’ll LOVE what he has to say. Then on Thurday, another low-carb doctor joins us–New York City-based OB/GYN Dr. Lana Boter. She’ll tell us how a controlled-carbohydrate nutritional approach can aid in so many female and fertility issues. We look forward to sharing these with you next week on “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore.”
Vote for one:
The main culprit in the American diet is:
1. Carbs (Gary Taubes),
2. Wheat (William Davis).
3. High Fructose Corn Syrup (Richard Johnson)
4. Processed food (Michael Pollan)
Actually, Peter, this is a bit of a trick question on your part because if you look closely at all four choices, they all have one thing in common–carbohydrates! So, if people answered that Taubes has it right with “carbs” as the main culprit in the American diet (although, a culprit in what? Obesity? Heart disease? Cancer? You didn’t specify.), then it would encompass everything Dr. Davis, Dr. Johnson, and Pollan have said as well. Right?

Jimmy, I’m not sure they would all say the same thing. Johnson, for instance (I’m looking forward to
your podcast with him) is clear in his book that he thinks potatoes and flour are fine, since they don’t affect uric acid, unlike HFCS which he thinks is what causes obesity. Davis, on the other hand, says the one most important thing anyone can do for their diet is avoid wheat. Gundry, who you had on the other day, agrees with Taubes about carbs, but says in his book that eating a lot of meat will shorten your life by 6 to 9 years. They agree about a lot, but they have important differences, too.
I’m not saying they will all agree, but the common thread in all of these ideas is carbs.
