Medical Advice on Nutrition

I recently heard from a well educated friend that his cardiologist said that because he had elevated apolipoprotein A, a form of LDL ( bad ) cholesterol that diet would not help. Well, there was a study done where they had people with elevated apolipoprotein A add more vegetables, fruits and nuts to their diets. After 2 weeks, the average decrease in apolipoprotein A was a 24 % reduction. This is amazing. For example, if they had a 300 level before the diet , they would be at 225 after just 2 weeks. If we had a medicine that would do that , it would be a billion dollar drug for the drug company. So only take medical advice on diet from your provider if you first ask them what training did they get after medical school and residency in nutrition. If they say none, then take their advice with a grain of salt. It may or may not be accurate. As of 2 years ago, there was only 1 medical school in the USA that provided the minimum recommended amount of time on nutrition. Since nutritionists also mainly get information that is highly affected by the meat and dairy industry, they may not be a reliable source either. Now they are starting a new lifestyle medicine residency program which has better information. So a Lifestyle medicine doctor would be more reliable.
