How do you feel about starting with the opening paragraph on Wikipedia? Cholesterol is the principal sterol of all higher animals, distributed in body tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, and in animal fats and oils. — https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesterol https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesterol

How does that paragraph interact with the claim that high serum cholesterol is not harmful?

  If you're going to nail people on specific questions, you need to stick to those specific questions, not read a reaction to your very specific “cholesterol by itself isn’t harmful?” as anything other than an answer to your question.

    Do you think the original person making the claim was referring to high serum cholesterol, or shadow boxing against an imaginary interlocutor who claims even a single individual cholesterol molecule is harmful? I thought it was obvious, hence the original broad quote, but the bizarre Wikipedia response made me think that perhaps I wasn’t clear enough. Hence the clarification with my follow up.

  you asked: What’s the evidence for the claim “cholesterol by itself isn’t harmful?” And got a response that is more than just an evidence. A smart person would not just change the goalpost but one with nefarious intentions, maybe.

      Is the world often bizarre to you?

        Not interested in the meta-talk, let’s stick to the subject. So for clarification on your view - do you think that high levels of LDL-C (proxying for ApoB) increase risk of CVD?

      > Do you think the original person making the claim was referring to high serum cholesterol What I think is that your behavior is quite strange, to create a fake profile just to post a link "debunking" the author. Do you have something personal against her? And then when you got corrected, in place of recognizing you said something wrong, you double-down your irrational behavior: "shadow boxing against an imaginary interlocutor". Yeah because the original interlocutor makes stupid questions.
