“Personally, I’d find another way to mitigate cholesterol, and there are multiple other approaches one could take that would not have negatives.”

I could care less about cholesterol. Triglycerides are the key number (that’s what causes heart attacks), and pretty much any cholesterol level is fine, providing that you’re healthy and do a reasonable job of limiting carb intake (as in no bread, noodles, rice, or sugar).

I must be the exception to the rule. Never any simple carbs, triglycerides always around 100, and just had my 2nd heart attack in 8 yrs. Last one (2015), the Stent put in is 100% blocked now. I have this 2nd Stent that I must now worry will block too. I think if that happens, it’s all over. There ain’t much more I can do to prevent my atherosclerosis.
