What a week it has been so far celebrating the best podcast guests of 2011 here on “Encore Week” 2012! We’ve already heard from Swedish LCHF physician Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt, Perfect Health Diet author Paul Jaminet and “Blood Sugar 101″ creator Jenny Ruhl with Dr. Jack Kruse still to come tomorrow. In Episode 528 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore,” we welcome back Wisconsin cardiologist Dr. William Davis who penned the seminal book Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health in 2011 exposing the problems with modern-day wheat that is leading to a whole host of health and weight problems.

When he was on the show in Episode 495 in September 2011, he shared lots of historical information about how wheat has undergone a radical transformation in the past 50 years that makes it an incredibly different food than it was in the day of our grandparents. He continues that education in his “Encore Week” 2012 interview and answers all kinds of questions from my listeners about wheat, statins, cholesterol, heart health, and more! He even addresses some of his critics of his Wheat Belly book in the Paleo/low-carb blogosphere like Melissa McEwen and Dr. Emily Deans. It’s always good to speak with someone of the caliber and credentials as Dr. Davis and I’m pleased to bring him back to you as one of your favorite guests of 2011 here on “Encore Week” 2012.

      I don’t think you meant the YouTube link to read “Christine’s wife getting her heart scan done in 2011″

      Dr. Davis,

      I have two questions that I’m curious about:

      1) Did I correctly understand that you recommend to your patients to reduce their intake of calcium to reduce their heart disease risk? This sounds similar to the argument to reduce serum cholesterol, another plaque component, to reduce the heart disease risk.

      2) Speaking of cholesterol, I think I understand the theory that the quantity of small LDL particles are correlated to heart disease risk more than large LDL particles, but if total cholesterol is meaningless, then how does one come to terms with the large volume of peer-reviewed articles  showing a correlation between total cholesterol and heart disease? Surely, they all didn’t fudge the data as you described Ancel Keys. And, Ancel Keys’ unfudged data (22 countries) is still pretty convincing that serum cholesterol is a predictor of heart disease.

      Thank you in advance for your feedback,
      Kelly Mahoney
