New model could explain old cholesterol mystery
I am close with someone who has chronic high cholesterol, in addition to a 6-pack abs.  She exercises 5x/week and eats .5kg of animal products/week at most, usually white meat.  She just visited her heart Dr and was told that her cholesterol is too high and that she needs to cut out animal products entirely as a next step.<p>I am thinking...is this really the modern answer to someone's high cholesterol if they consistently exercise, are nearly underweight, and rarely eat animal products to begin with?
It doesn't add up to me.<p>It's amazing how little we still know about heart disease - the #1 killer in the US.  As someone who will inevitably inherit chronic high-cholesterol as well, I'm excited to read and share this ongoing research. Thank you for posting this.
