I forgot to add (and it's mentioned in Gardner's talk) that a low carb
diet has been shown to not only reduce LDL but also fosters large, light
LDL particles. A high carb diet fosters small and dense LDL particles
which are now (supposedly) implicated in heart disease.
Does any of this matter? I haven't a clue but it certainly is opposed
to the conventional wisdom.
