Most people live lifestyles that lead to conditions. For example, most high cholesterol that cause people to use statins is caused by diet. Less than 10% of Americans eat a healthy diet. Doctors almost never deal with that and usually aren’t even taught that in school.
What if people just never had most of those issues that require treatment?
- tsimionescu 3y agoAs far as I know, the link between diet and cholesterol was a myth that caused many of the bad diet choices people make today, such as replacing animal fats with (bad) plant-based fats like palm oil. In a healthy individual, cholesterol intake is not related to blood cholesterol levels (beyond some reasonable threshold, like not eating a tub of lard in one sitting).
