[QUOTE="Chris24Main, post: 2689684, member: 585131"] I will warn you, it's a bit of a Rabbit hole... but definitely fascinating... I'm very much 'incompetence before conspiracy' - and I'm not even bashing Pfizer above - I was very happy to take Pfizer's Covid vaccination, and companies have a right to make money... but I think ultimately the more I read, the more we will look back on the way we think of Cholesterol pretty much the same way that we look back on the general perception that you were safer in a car crash being able to be thrown free, and that wearing a seat belt was dangerous.

The good news is that - if you follow the line that the underlying cause of heart disease (and I'm deliberately over-simplifying hugely) is actually repeat damage to the endothelium (in the arteries only due to the increased pressure) caused by a multitude of things, then you can start making better decisions about what to do about it, and stop worrying about controlling something you actually have no control over, other than take a drug which does reduce that number - but doesn't actually do anything to improve your health - and may be seriously bad for you in some cases..
