To fully grasp how so many smart, right-minded people could get it so wrong, it might help to start with a quick review of medical history.
a plant-based, oil-free diet can not only prevent and stop the progression of heart disease, but also reverse its effects.
being vegan does not restructure genetic dispositions.
Nutrients can effect gene expression in multiple
ways and even define the end points of that expression.12 Nutritional
guidelines have been a mainstay of the management of dyslipidaemia, a
risk factor for coronary heart disease, yet there is a great variation in the
response of plasma lipids to dietary modification. New research suggests
that this is in part due to each person’s genotype. Intuitively most have
suspected that it is both the genotype and the environment that interact
together to move the expression of disease in a particular way. The
study of the polymorphic nature of each person’s genetic makeup and
the particular responses to vital nutrients will become essential as it
becomes more and more necessary to individualise prescriptions for
lifestyle changes.13 Diet can influence gene function through a direct
effect on gene expression, transcription, translation, post translational
influence on gene products, epigenetic effects and DNA repair. Vitamins,
for example, can act as powerful regulators of post-translational gene
expression. These effects may be supportive to health or contribute to
disease. Dietary fat and carbohydrate can regulate expression of the
LDL phenotype. An integrated approach using nutrition, exercise, and
stress management tools is more likely to optimise gene expression
and reduce the risk of chronic cardiovascular disease and the burden
of polypharmacy.
Integrative approach to management of heart disease
Is heart disease reversible?

Blankenhorn testThese patients (1 woman and 23 men) agreed to adopt a plant-based diet with fats making up less than 10% of calories. They ate no oils, fish, meat or dairy products (except skim milk and non-fat cheese and yogurt). The patients also took cholesterol-lowering medication as necessary to maintain their total serum cholesterol below 150 mg/dL.
Their results showed that patients derived the most benefit if lipids are lowered by diet combined with medical therapy, rather than by diet alone or by modest diet changes combined with medication.
My own experience with heart disease patients shows that cholesterol levels can be kept below this threshold with a diet low in lipids and cholesterol-lowering medications as needed. This low-lipid therapy stops coronary disease from progressing and even reverses it
Ralph, have you read "How to Live 100 Years Without Growing Old" by Bill Sardi
Does he have a financial interest in marketing this supplement? Where can we find objective information about the supplement?

While it can influence the gene expression, it still in can not correct gene mutations.

Ralph, do you take a life extension supplement? If so, which one?
