red meat = tmao = AFIB

Posted on 2019-04-222019-05-10 by Sameer Oza

Is this statement inflammatory? 🙂

Red meat, cheese, eggs increase TMAO (trimethylamine N-oxide) blood levels :

Here is the full study – NEJM TMAODownload

Another study from Nature Medicine.

TMAO has also been related to increased risk of AFIB in animal models.

A new class of drugs has been developed to help reduce TMAO levels. What a novel concept!

Another novel concept – how about reducing the intake of foods that elevate TMAO levels!
