I’m skeptical. Been reading a lot of convincing data and info about how cholesterol levels have been gamed by the healthcare industry. For example, in the not too distant past a cholesterol level above 300 was considered okay. That number has now been ratcheted down to under 150. Of course since then the use of statins has exploded.

Moreover, some say cholesterol has gotten an undue bad rap and that cholesterol is actually good. It feeds the brain and actually heals the blood vessels. In fact, too little cholesterol can cause inflammation and can prevent the repair of blood vessels.

So yeah, I’ll let my neighbor try this new miracle mRNA drug and report back to me.

That's the purpose of cholesterol, to deconstruct and construct your body over and over. You literally are not the same person you were five years ago.
