No, people who follow a meat-heavy diet simply have higher cholesterol, not an increase in cardiovascular health problems.

- FrustratedMonky 3y agoPerhaps don't focus on cholesterol as the only indicator. Because you have high cholesterol but have not yet died, does not mean it is safe. There are countless studies that show meat based diets impact cardo health. That doesn't mean sugar doesn't also. Or if meat good, then carbs bad, or carbs good, meat bad. It isn't all binary. Generally if you are throwing back a rack of ribs everyday to be 'low carb', then things aren't going to end well for you.

- FrustratedMonky 3y agoman. i'd like to see what study you pulled that from. that is pretty much categorically un-true. <EDIT> I think I see. This claim was so out there I had to look it up. There is actually a 'U' curve. So very low and very high cholestoral is risk. But think this goes back to my point. Health isn't about 'cholesterol' because there is good and bad and the relationship to cardo health isn't clear. You can have high 'good' cholesterol. But, that doesn't mean you can eat ribs everyday. There are other factors.
