You never even identify who the "AHA" is. Sounds like you have some burr under your saddle or axe to grind with whoever they are. You've been following their cholesterol boogieman for decades now and they won't quit. What does that even mean?
And besides, what do you care whether I understand or agree with your argument or not? If my cholesterol at 115 is endangering my life, that would be one thing. But I have had low cholesterol for decades. When is this supposed "other" cholesterol range you're pushing, going to affect my health?
At age 72, there's not much time left to prove your theory that my low cholesterol is somehow a health risk or even significant to me. Besides, the propensity to have high cholesterol is mainly genetic or hereditary in nature. My whole family has low cholesterol.
Not much I can do about my cholesterol level at this stage anyway not matter whether I'm right or you are.
“And besides, what do you care whether I understand or agree with your argument or not?”
I though FR had “discussions”. But if you get right down to it, I don’t give a rat’s rear end about your cholesterol. I don’t know you and you don’t know me and I don’t care if someone goes full vegan or full carnivore or wants to eat pumpkins 3 times a day.
But...since you are not the only one who reads a thread, and since some medical types will insist on statins for anyone whose total cholesterol goes above 200, I posted research showing the other side. Just as a discussion.
