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.
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?
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.
“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...
My cholesterol is borderline and my Dr. has been badgering me to get on Statins, which I refuse. My levels were significantly lower on my last checkup and my Dr. wanted to know what I have been doing. All I did was reschedule my blood work from early January to the last week of Lent.
Krill oil seems to be working for me. No numbers, but have been doing much better since I gave up doctors...
I always wonder what natural compound inspired lab-produced pharmaceuticals. Of course, it’s usually impossile to find out.
So I retro fit the effects.
Some Vitamins and supplements that lower LDL, reduce plaque, and help prevent Arteriosclerosis INCLUDE:
Niacin
Omega 3
Berberine
Natto
Hawthorne
Quercitan
Policosonal
Garlic
Cinnamon
Apple Cider Vinegar
Coconut Oil
Lemon water every day.
Avoiding inflammation is also key. Bad oils, sugar, empty carbs and calories, too much Omega 6, processed foods, etc.. We all know what it is and what to avoid.
Avoiding or minimizing bad foods and oils goes a long way to preventing the need for any of this.
And of course, just walking is great.
I am not a saint when it comes to doing everything I should but as much as I can I try to prevent damage.
The above supplements are in my house and we use them daily. A combo of these and others for other things.
Except for actual physical damages we have sustained over the years we are both in pretty dang good health (thank you Lord) and a recent Doc told me I was crushing my 60’s.
I AM the PIA that will always tell you about a natural alternative to a pharmaceutical. I apologize, but not really.

Cheers!
it’ll take a few years to figure out whether this medication lowers CVS deaths and/or reduces all-cause mortality ...
