High cholesterol may not signal heart disease risk in metabolically healthy people

In reality, vegetable oils and starches made people sick with heart disease and raised the risk of stroke, leading to the sale of as many drugs as possible. Private hospitals in turn produced money through cardiac surgery: stents, peacemakers, etc. The more refined vegetable oil, the more heart and inflammatory disease.The Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, in collaboration with researchers from several …

Low-carb keto diet may not raise heart disease risk, new study suggests

High cholesterol has long gotten a bad rap for causing poor heart health — but a new study suggests that the low-carb ketogenic diet may not be linked to cardiovascular disease. The study, led by The Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in collaboration with researchers across multiple institutes, assessed 100 participants following a long-term keto diet who developed elevated levels of LDL cholesterol (kno…

The most common question I get asked as a Carnivore has been answered \ stacker news ~HealthAndFitness

One of the most common questions that I get, being carnivore, is this: "Aren't you worried about your cholesterol?" And there's been many good answers to that. High cholesterol is just a very bad predictor of heart attacks. But with this new study that came out, it's pretty definitive.
