This may apply to some people with a family history of heart disease (genetics), but my smell detector senses a profit motive:
Take a pill/get a shot to prevent heart disease and change no behavior! /s
This, of course, ignores all the science which outlines an explosion in heart disease since the myopic Framingham Study was released and ultimately resulted in the lipid hypothesis/fat is bad proselytizing for >50 years.
And once again, the natural health community is vindicated.
But I don’t expect anyone in the medical community to ever come close to acknowledging that.
And the other pill pushers are not after profit.
I think I’m one that has a genetic link. I’m not overweight. My cholesterol is terrible and I have plaque in my arteries. I exercise a lot too.
