Eric Weinstein was talking about how science has been a scam for decades, implying that string theory was all a sham to keep physicists from discovering deeper understanding of nuclear physics and such after nuclear secrets started leaking to the public in the 60’s and 70’s.

The AK position was bought and paid for.

Americans have been far too naive for generations now.

Before Fauci, there was Ancel Keys.

My mother avoided statins for many years, contrary to her doctor’s and my dad’s advice.
Dad passed away, and she longer had him to refer to medical advice.
She did not discuss this with me. I had no idea what was going on until later.

I later found out that that she had been taking simvistatin for 13 months
prior to her passing from a massive cluster of heart attacks (Myocardial infarction).

So did the simvistatin delay the inevitable, or cause it?
I don’t know.

She was 82 when this transpired. She had no prior history of heart problems.

What is amazing to me is how many physicians subscribe to it.

I would think that at 82 statins would be of little or no value. Co-morbidities would be a more logical assumption................

I haven't finished the (long!) article yet, but...

1. Is there a difference between the Cholesterol we ingest as opposed to that which the liver creates?

2. I learned in Physiology that hydrogenated cooking oil has free radicals that wreak havoc on our system, destroying cells. Eating high anti-oxidant foods help combat that.

I also remember reading that Americans generally had "high" cholesterol until it was decided that it was bad (Keys) and the benchmark for cholesterol levels was lowered.

Enter Big Pharma...

Cholesterol we eat gets broken down and digested into its separate parts and is used by the body or excreted.

Cholesterol is manufactured by the liver and is a necessary constituent of our blood system. Without it we would die.

My doctor told me that if you want to lower your cholesterol, stop eating bread, sugar and starches in huge amounts. IOW, CARBS.....................

Much of what Americans eat is not food. Look around.

Hydrogenated vegetable oil? Palm oil? What’s that? It doesn’t come from the coconut. Canola oil? Marketing was smart on that. What’s a canola?

We’re watching Ken burns’ baseball. The kids around here marvel at the look of the people, the kids in and around the games. They are so healthy. They look different from us

”… Cholesterol we eat gets broken down and digested into its separate parts and is used by the body or excreted…”

.

The brain is the most cholesterol-rich organ in the body and contains
almost 25% of the total amount. The majority (70–80%) of this
cholesterol is present in myelin, where it fulfils a critical insulating role.

However, a large body of evidence shows that there is no association between the two and that lower cholesterol significantly increases one’s risk of death.

Well people who are in good physical shape and healthy body weight need to stop that exercise and start sitting on their couch all day and load up on the donuts, etc. as exercising and maintaining a healthy body weight vastly lowers cholesterol levels and doing the latter vastly raises it.

Who knew laying on the couch on all day eating Krispy Kreme and getting yourself to 300+ lbs is the way to longer, healthier lives? The "fatphobic" movement was right all along! < / s >
