No need to worry, we are all in the process of dying, so the correct answer is just to ignore everything that isn't either: something that strikes you as incredibly obvious (don't drink poison), recognized in its field of experts (high cholesterol is bad for you), established knowledge, or not too inconvenient.
- smilliken 4y ago> recognized in its field of experts (high cholesterol is bad for you) Public service announcement: this one is controversial. IMHO it's wrong, based on bad science and agendas, and harmful because it deters people from nutritious foods. I recommend everyone do their own reading to form their own opinion. It's sad how political food and nutrition is because it causes misinformation and malnutrition.

Medicine’s misunderstanding of cholesterol is one of those mistakes which became very profitable for the pharmaceutical industry.
- IIsi50MHz 4y agoMy rudimentary understanding: chronic high blood sugar causes irritation of blood vessels; irritated blood vessels attempt to protect themselves by producing a protective layer (excretion?); cholesterol sticks much more readily to this‚ causing creation of plaques. So, cholesterol is "fine" if you avoid high blood sugar.
