The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

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.
we both agree that LDL also has valuable roles in the human body that it's protective and we kind of hinted at this earlier chylomicrons VLDL LDL these are particles moving valuable cargo around the human body I know if a has also published papers which I reference in my book about the immunologic role of LD on the human body
the body is making LDL the LDL is the bus that leaves the liver and travels all around the body to do its job and it's there for no repair is there as an antioxidant it's there to support the body processes including the immune system attack to actually get the job done
It serves an immunologic role which we will probably talk about
ldl and the triglycerides and cholesterol estera contains are essential for optimal human life ldl serves immune roles i'll show you some articles discussing that in a moment and ldl is essential for delivering that cholesterol that keeps your membranes fluid
these LDL particles are not just involved in these bus routes they're also involved in the immune system so LDL cholesterol is an essential carrier and essential participant in so many physiologic functions of the human body
while it's carrying lipids it's also very important in immune function and binding up different toxins like lip like lipop pooly saturate endotoxin and all also binding up viral particles and modulating immune response
it's involved in cell membranes so cells all cells have a membrane around them and cholesterol can constitutes about 25 to 30% of the cell membrane now the membrane can can the cells can produce their cholesterol but they also take up cholesterol from LDL
not native LDL native LDL looks pretty darn benign for humans maybe even good for us I would argue it's definitely good for us from an immune perspective
