Was this chylomicronemia? Medium-chain fatty acids with total avoidance of long-chain fatty acids?

I listened to the first half or so of it, and it was really good. I very much appreciate the thoughtful, evidence-based way you discussed these topics.

In my latest video and blog post, I explain why the ability of our pancreatic beta-cells to secrete insulin is critical for normal glucose tolerance, and how to use and interpret data from a simple blood test to assess both beta-cell function and insulin sensitivity.

To be able to identify and address the root cause or causes of any glucose intolerance we may have, we first must understand our own level of insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function.

So sorry to hear this, Kevin. Heartbreaking for you, I am sure, but also for the nutrition research community. I hope this won’t really be retirement …

Are you able to complete your ongoing work?

Thanks, Alex.

Thanks, Mike!

Thanks, Bart.

Is the recommendation to take sterols or stanols an official recommendation?

Based on our research (admittedly 17 years old), I am concerned about the increase in blood sterol levels with sterol supplementation, and always considered stanols the safer choice.
