Thanks you Moorea for clearing this topic of cholesterol levels. The studies you have shown define clear boundaries for such a key substance that just for money is prescribed in patients that will have no benefits and also Rosuvastatin increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. A business that sell hundreds of billion dollars. Great work Moorea.
Loved it! This is very thorough. I was chatting with a client yesterday who asked if I was worried about my cholesterol. I said yes, "I was worried about it being low." This is such important information you've put together <3
This is fascinating, thanks! I feel like I've been hearing a lot of these studies also come up when it comes to higher protein diets, as a common argument against those is a potential rise in cholesterol. Does that sound right? I may go dig up my latest blood test results later, now I'm curious.
Thanks for reading it, Patrick. Yeah, it was good to look at my bloodwork and see what I need to work on. Share your results if you do decide to look at yours!
Great article! There's many studies on the triglyceride:HDL ratio, and it's correlation between the small, dense LDL (which occurs in insulin resistance and diabetes), rather than the healthier large LDL. It's one of my favorite metrics to discuss with people about their heart disease risk!
The best thing to be healthy is to avoid all doctors and to stop worrying. If need be, try to do the opposite of what the doctor says, which usually takes care of the problem. Proven and true.
I must sit down and fully read this article because my partner and I have talked about this topic a lot lately! He's got me into eating red meat again. 🥩 (I took a break from it during COVID year until recently.)
I love the way it's given me my energy back! But I'm worried about the impact it'll have on my cholesterol levels which I successfully lowered after creeping into the unhealthy range.
Is this supposed to be insightful look at science what joke. Yes, really low cholesterol is associated with cancer and frailty and death. Yes, high cholesterol is associated with death. Yes, if you compare average people ie those eating high cholesterol with others eating higher cholesterrol you will see no difference in morbidity or mortality.

Thanks so much for reading, Jorge. Best of luck with your book! I'm keto too.

Thanks so much for your feedback, Jennifer. I'm roasting brisket as I type this. 🤣
Healthy people with low cholesterol (ie not cancer patients or the frail) have 17 times lower CVD and 5 times lower breast cancer. But you do you.

Thanks Denise, that means so much to me.

Ha ha, so true, Ingrid. In my experience, that is indeed the case. Also, to listen quietly to my body.

Studies are deliberately set up this way, by the dairy industry, to show just this negative result. Get with the program. https://jowaller.substack.com/p/saturated-fat-is-not-back
