Another good new talk by David Diamond on CVD studies and statins.
Starting about minute 50 he talks about how all the various lifestyle interventions impact blood clotting factors and thus reduce risk. Then a question from audience was what to do about a high CAC score....he does not recommend statins but Gouda cheese. According to him it has high levels of K2 and I assume would be made from milk from grass-fed cows as they are raised in Europe.
A tasty way to reduce calcium in arteries He does not agree that the calcium is in any way protective.
Another question was about donating platelets...no study but he "thinks" it may be beneficial to the donor (and always is to the receiver).

Whole talk is good, detailed studies but he's humorous, and especially good info towards end and answers to questions.
