The study cited in the article has more holes than Swiss cheese. Promoting a cholesterol-denying chiropractor as a nutrition expert is bad advice for the men out there.
LDL Cholesterol: ‘Bad’ Cholesterol May Not Be So Bad
Research challenging the ‘cholesterol hypothesis’ concludes benefits from statin therapy have been exaggerated and ‘bad’ cholesterol isn’t the enemy.www.healthline.com
I have no opinion on the guy doing videos, but our understanding of cholesterol is not correct in many cases and it's changing as they understand more.
Haha
The understanding hasn’t changed. If you have high cholesterol for decades it is likely you will develop CVD. There’s no real controversy about this in cardiology. Being a contrarian however is great for making money on the internet.
The #1 risk factor by a wide margin for CVD is not having proper Vitamin K2 levels. Very few people actually know or care about this tho, but are super concerned about minor factors like cholesterol.
No, the #1 risk factor is your serum Apo-B levels over time (of which LDL cholesterol is a surrogate marker). This has been established as causal in CVD.
Sorry but no.
You’re wrong on this. Apo-B is causal in CVD. Cholesterol skepticism is great for YouTube algorithms, bad for men’s health. If you want to tell your cardiologist that your cholesterol profile doesn’t matter, they’ll smile and probably call you all kinds of stupid after you leave their office. But do you.
They are not mutually exclusive. Healthful dietary pattern and statin medication that lowers cholesterol also lowers inflammation.
Again. Calcium buildup in arteries causes more deaths than anything else. This is not really debatable. If you want to go on your cholesterol side kick then you do you.
Nope, even that part is not correct. Calcium in arteries indicates established, already existing CVD. Calcified plaques are more stable than non-calcified plaques (non calcified plaques cause STEMIs and strokes). At best, the calcium in arteries is a correlation of underlying established disease. It is not causal.
The cholesterol contained in your lipid panel shows the concentration of lipids in the blood. It doesn’t say anything about the current state of your arteries. The non HDL-c (LDL-c + triglycerides/5) is a surrogate marker for apoliprotein-B, a protein present on all artery clogging particles in the blood. It’s like how your a1-c test is a bio marker for overall blood sugar levels. CVD takes decades of elevated Apo-B to manifest, which is why short term studies and anecdotal CAC scores are useless.

Same here, had my bloodwork done and while prolactine is on the lower side thankfully I have estrogens at 40 like you do which is within range but I believe given my far from optimal T levels (560) may be a problem...also shbg are on the higher range.
