JAMA Editorial - Story of Trigs and CHD risk

An interesting editorial which just came in - have a read and I’d love our more scientific members to give us their thoughts on the statements. Note it makes no mention of dietary intervention or other modalities or ketogenic/LCHF:

Hmmm…genetic variation analysis. This is always difficult to understand. This one requires a multiple-lunchtime analysis.

:slight_smile: Hence the quick handball pass lmao - I find it interesting though that given the debate which has raged on that there is no mention of dietary intervention as an impact on genetic expression. Furthermore how diet can up or downregulate those same genetic predisposing factors. Food for thought ( no pun intended :wink: )
