I thought that cholesterol -> heart attacks was found to all be bupkis a while ago.
- the_gastropod 10y agoFound to be bupkis by who? Elevated LDL increases heart disease risk in women from 44% (for large LDL) to 63% (small LDL). Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19204302 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19204302

- chrisbennet 10y agoI think that dietary cholesterol was given a bad rap. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19751443 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19751443 Cholesterol levels in your blood are correlated with high risk of heart attack. As I understand it, higher cholesterol levels in your blood are a response to arterial damage - damage caused by sugar among other things (I guess). Eggs aren't causing high cholesterol any more than bandages cause scraped knees.
