It's hard to blame doctors, when patients prefer to eat mcdonalds+pills over any kind of vaguely healthy diet from any model (be it ketonic or paleo or south beach or low fat or low sugar vegetarian or whole foods or whatever)

It's not controversial. It is well known that triglycerides and LDL/HDL ratios are more important than total cholesterol. These are all part of the standard blood lipid panel. Some doctors are just unaware of the relatively modern

It's not surprising, it's technologyreview, which spun out from student newspaper to linkbaity web tabloid a few years ago. In this case, however the original paper (already linked in the HN comments) is itself a linkbaity title w

TH also ruins Haskell by inserting inivisble code with spooky action at a distance, where you have to pre-import symbols that TH will insert later, and compiler errors refer to code defined somewhere else but print line numbers of where the
