The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

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.

Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
So the role of cholesterol in these particles is not a crucial feature of their biological role. As I say, most tissues can...in fact, all tissues, as I said, can make cholesterol. Tissues don't make triglycerides. So the triglyceride transport is a main feature, and most people don't understand that. And the LDL is kind of a byproduct of that metabolic conversion that we've just described.
