Also, that is 40 years experience, not to mention all the other awards, degrees and faculty appointments. But I do agree that the first thing to address would be 30+ cocktails/week. Certainly a bigger concern than seed oils or Gundry garbage. Also eliminating that amount of ETOH is most likely the reason for your improvement, but feel free to stay off "seed oils" as well.

You miss my point entirely. I do not wish to compare cv's. I was pointing out that your CV doesn't make you an expert on anything. It seems to me you are saying that I should have listened to my doctors, took the pills, and continued my lifestyle of drinking and eating sugar, and carbs.
I did quit the drinking to a great degree but that isn't what cured me. I was still 240 lbs at 6' tall. I went on keto diet and in 4 weeks my BP went to 140/90 from around 170/110. My A1C went from 5.7 to 5.0. I lost 30 lbs in that month alone. My triglycerides were incredibly reduced and my total cholesterol was under 200. But my doctor still suggested statins because statins are good.
Well I can't really say what I think of doctors that are pushing pills instead of asking about diet and lifestyle but it wouldn't be pleasant. My mom suffered a stroke and has been suffering with severe dementia for over 10 years. She has zero quality of life and only after her stroke did we find out the doctors, with all their awards and incredible resumes, had her on 8 different pills. About 3 of them were for blood pressure and she had low blood pressure. I sit her hoping my mom will die so she can stop suffering and I blame the doctors. Again, all of my doctors have only suggested pills and nothing more. So I hope you are a good doctor. If you are then you are in the minority. But based on your attitude, because of your CV, I get the feeling you are just another pill pusher.
