Bro did you not see the results of the research paper? U-shaped curve isn't inline with medical advice from the status quo. Given that evidence... the advice given to you by doctors is literally in the same class as homeopathy and anti-vaxxing.

> literally in the same class as homeopathy and anti-vaxxing. Not exactly. Medical personell is (in general) not the research branch of science, but practitioners. They follow clinical guidelines and treatment procedures, and there's a delay to be expected before new results are evaluated and established. In contrast to homeopathy and anti-vaxxing, the system is designed to be able to catch up eventually (though usually not as fast as one could wish for).

  What guidelines? They all tell it like there's a single story: more cholesterol equals death. Prior to this study it wasn't known. There was literally zero studies as comprehensive as this one. So it looks like they made a guideline up out of thin air. Additionally I don't understand what kind of genius doesn't trust a YouTube channel providing more up to date and accurate information over doctors who you yourself admit are presenting false bullshit because of a delay? Looks like logic isn't being employed here. It's just blind trust in established industries you were taught to trust as a child. How does a "name" of a YouTube channel in any way shape or form associate or correlate with correctness or accuracy? Don't answer, we all know it's typical human bias at play here. I prefer to call it human genius. I'm not saying completely trust a YouTube channel. But don't deride that channel just because of its name and definitely don't trust doctors. Hippocratic oath my ass you see enough doctors you'll see not only is the science dangerously incomplete but they care about money more than your health. So a lot of doctors actually fucking straight up lie to you. It's common af. Genius.
