I think Dr. Ede, while well intentioned, lacks nuance. For example, "anti-nutrients" can easily be mitigated and in some cases, have health benefits. It is well established that LDL-C is causal in heart disease, and eating a keto diet high in saturated fat found in the animal meals she recommends not only greatly elevates LDL-C in about 25% of the population, it also increases CRP, a measure of inflammation, which she acknowledges is involved in atherosclerosis. Dr. Ede is to be commended for advocating for eliminating processed food, and for learning more about nutrition than most doctors. But she is neither a lipidologist nor an expert in insulin resistance. I would recommend listening to (or reading) Dr. Thomas Dayspring for information on the former, and Dr. Gerald Shulman for the latter. Below are some links for those who want a more nuanced approach to issues discussed here:
