Oreos or statins?

From Improbable research: full report here:

not for everyone, just for a subgroup of the population.

In this case study experiment on a lean mass hyper-responder on a ketogenic diet, Oreo cookie supplementation lowered LDL-C by 273 mg/dL over 16 days, a 71% drop, as compared to a smaller 137 mg/dL peak reduction, a 32.5% drop, with 6 weeks of high-intensity statin therapy. These findings are consistent with the lipid energy model and highlight the need for further studies on this unique lean mass hyper-responder population.
