I was browsing the interweb and discovered this weighty pile of research and theory,
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK343489/
and thought, wow, retention theory sounds possible! But then I had a good look at this,
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK343489/bin/lipid_athero-Image001.jpg
And realised they had not addressed the ongoing problem of how cholesterol gets into the artery, only what happens after it gets in. If you look at the picture closely on the left hand side there is a yellow arrow that shows cholesterol magically traveling across healthy epithelial cell layer. So NO, Retention Theory has not resolved anything! Oh well
Does anyone have any evidence to show how cholesterol may cross the epithelial layer? I'm trying to be opened minded and this is critical to my mental wellbeing as I live in a town awash with statin therapy and at times I question the science.
Thanks
Paul
