084 - Cholesterol Part 1 / Cognitive Decline / Vaccines and Asthma
Manage episode 343005645 series 2309520
What does the body of evidence say on the topic of cholesterol? Plus: we look at the claim that a multivitamin can preserve your cognitive functions as you age, and we cover that study that allegedly shows aluminum in vaccines causes asthma!
Block 1:
(3:04) Cholesterol: what cholesterol is, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, how fat is digested, HDL cholesterol
Block 2:
(10:44) Cholesterol: triglycerides, how LDL is calculated, do you need to fast before a blood test, attempts at increasing HDL, how to lower LDL
Block 3:
(22:38) Cocoa extract or multivitamin for preserving cognition (and a digression on cocoa vs cacao)
Block 4:
(39:13) Aluminum in vaccines and a reported link to asthma
* Theme music: “Fall of the Ocean Queen“ by Joseph Hackl.
* Assistant researcher: Nicholas Koziris
