I'm putting this link in the War Zone for obvious reasons. In many threads we have discussed standards of care and how they related to beliefs of what constitutes good health according to the medical community. However, current SoCs are constructed on weak evidence based on a SAD WOE, not low carb or anything else that might result in better health.

I've observed that blood lipid markers and LDL (bad) cholesterol readings do not represent the profile of a low carb or keto eater; therefore, they do not qualify as valid health markers for certain dietary profiles. In this video, Doug Reynolds of Low Carb USA speaks about exactly that. What are your thoughts? Do you agree?

Edited to add: His heartfelt story at the end of the video is something I believe many of us have experienced or can relate to directly. We've discussed it before on this forum.
