Research Highlights: In a Phase 1, first-in-human trial, a one-time infusion of an investigational CRISPR-Cas9 therapy targeting angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) was safe and reduced LDL cholesterol by nearly 50% and reduced triglycerides by...
I don’t think that’s really a conclusive study. It only focuses on people who are already 80 or older and ignores the majority of people who suffer from cardiovascular issues that don’t make it to their eighties because of it.
From this study you could also conclude that people who have a natural resistance to high cholesterol live longer.
Youd wanna lower arterial plaque so cholesterol doesnt get stuck?
Plaque forms when cholesterol lodges to the walls of arteries. This happens at a greater rate when you have more lower density cholesterol in your blood.
An arterial calcium scan is the best indicator for heart disease etc.
Not cholesterol
But calcium buildups are formed from clacified plaque, which is made from cholesterol…
If all forms of high cholesterol were really beneficial Americans would modern day Methuselahs.
This is where cognitive dissonance takes people. He’s less interested in his theory’s predictive power than he is in its ability to distract him from reality.
For what?

You might not need cholesterol. But that’s what brains are made out of.
Lol, so your claim is that people with excessive cholesterol levels require it because they are making more brain…?
No is claiming you shouldn’t have any cholesterol in your blood, just that there isn’t reason to have an elevated amount.
If your body actually needed the excess lipids being produced it wouldn’t be saturated in the blood, it would be getting used.

Your body makes shit, too. Don’t eat shit, dummy. That isn’t reason enough to conclude it is safe to eat.
I didn’t say to eat the cholesterol. Eating cholesterol isn’t the primary driver of blood cholesterol levels. Saturated fats are.
Maybe yours, but…
