We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
I have a lot of good friends now who are cardiologists and we all Ament this hyper myopic focus on LDL cholesterol as the only indicator of cardiovascular risk it's just not a good predictor
the fallacy of the cholesterol model of disease and the fallacy of using LDL as the main predictor for a cardiovascular risk
so i think that using ldl as a metric of cardiovascular risk is short-sighted and myopic and that is basically what i'll say about that i don't think it's something to worry about
so i think that using ldl as a metric of cardiovascular risk is short-sighted and myopic
that LDL it's a very very poor predictor of cardiovascular outcomes
I don't think LDL starts the fire. I don't think LDL is the driving factor.
