While some white man mops the floor. Those ads are weirdly racist.
Dark Chocolate.
More expensive medicine from corrupt big Pharma, to fix the damage cause by the corrupt food industry - corn and sugar lobbies. Processed foods.
Insulin inflammation causes heart disease. Not cholesterol.
I hope I never need a “new pill”. I have zero faith in the testing/safety of new drugs.
Those ads are intentionally racist.
Designed to weaken and destroy democracy and western culture.
This is bad advice. Unless people fix the underlying issues of obesity and bad diets, other morbidities result that can increase cancer rates, dementia, etc.
And it is probably terrible for your liver....
Carrots? Broccoli?
Buehler?..................
Vey true. While Lpa has been shown to increase the risk LDL and cholesterol in general have never been conclusively shown to be a risk factor for heart attacks. My wife had a heart attack in August, her cholesterol numbers, 179 total/70LDL, well below the AHA’s safe cholesterol levels. My mom on the other hand had a 300+ cholesterol number and lived to be 93. What lowering cholesterol does do, especially in the elderly, is increase the risk of dementia. Cholesterol is a large component of brain tissue.
And for an additional bonus, you grow a third eye!
Existence of cholesterol does not cause heart disease.
Inflammation of arteries is the problem, and cholesterol is like the body’s band aid to cover up the inflammation.
Stop addressing the band aid.
Start addressing the wound.
Anti-inflammatories might help, but even then: What initially causes the inflammation???
That’s the root cause. Go fix that.
Yay!
*drool*
“What initially causes the inflammation???”
Wheat and other grains and their products.......................
I believe you, and would appreciate evidence.
“Great, now we’ll have fat people dancing on TV telling us how they lowered their Ldl.”
Look at the bright side, they won’t be around very long if they crash their LDL as it actually does important functions, very important functions.
The new drug doesn’t address a CAUSE of heart attack or stroke. Cholesterol, even “Bad LDL”, isn’t the cause. And not all LDL is “bad”. Some is good.
Further, the sweet spot of lowest ALL CAUSE MORTALITY in cholesterol is 190-260. NOT “below 200”. When cholesterol drops below 200, cancers start increasing. Increasing faster than strokes or heart attacks decrease, so DEATHS go up!

If I had to choose, I’d rather die from a heart attack than from wasting away with cancer...
Add sourdough bread to the list. Several benefits for diabetics.
