All people with heart disease either smoke, drink heavily and/or are obese or worse. Excluding the few with unlucky genetic elements.

The diet consisting of donuts and bacon at best and pure goyslop at worst.

Lose bodyfat, do low impact exercise and eat better. Behold, your heart is much better. High protein, with plenty of red meat, low glysophate/pesticide fruit and dairy. Easy.

Anecdotal story. My great grandma was sharp as a tack at 90. They saw her cholesterol was very high, like 300, and put her on statins.
Within a couple years she rapidly degraded mentally. Sure it could have been due to age but what we’ve seen the past few years make me think otherwise.

Your brain is 75% cholesteric matter. The other 25% is fat.

What do doctors tell you not to eat?

Can confirm

That's been known for decades. Psychology today is one the disseminators of unreality and fantasy thinking. One article of old news deliberately ignored by the manipulative empire of evil for decades doesn't erase that they're scum, because their belief is all about personal manipulation and it's not for the better

Thanks for posting this!
Been on the rollercoaster of cholesterol (good, bad, or indifferent)for awhile. Diet consists of wild game, fruits,vegies, excercise. According to the dei asshats doing the blood tests, cholesterol levels are all over the place. Fuck it, doing what i believe makes "common sense".

Cholesterol is only a danger when you have inflammation in your arteries and veins, and you get that from sugars n simple carbs

I like this article, especially this paragraph

Some studies weakly suggest that people with lower total blood cholesterol levels may be more likely to be depressed, violent, or have suicidal thoughts, but other studies do not. All of the studies on both sides are “epidemiological” studies, which are incapable of showing cause and effect relationships—they can only point out possible associations. So, even if every epidemiological study showed a link between low cholesterol and psychiatric problems, the apparent connection between the two could simply be a coincidence. At this point in time, there is no clear scientific support for the notion that low blood cholesterol increases risk for depression, violence, or suicidal thinking.

Best bit: even if every epidemiological study showed...

Confounders will confound every epidemiological study the same way. More of the same cannot fix it.
