if you took the entire circulatory pool of cholesterol it's about 10% of your total body cholesterol it's a tiny fraction of it

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.
so we now know two variable degrees both red blood cells and albumin can just abut against any cell in your body and accept free cholesterol by free diffusion and LDL particle can abut against the cell and accept cholesterol by free diffusion from a cell
the amount of cholesterol within your lipoproteins has no correlation with your cellular cholesterol or even your red blood cell cholesterol
red blood cells carry far far more cholesterol than do all of your lipoproteins put together
once you do the calculation and realize virtually all of the cholesterol in the body is contained within the cell membrane or within the steroidal producing tissue the circulating amount is a very narrow window into the total amount of cholesterol
believe it or not if I wanted to search down blood cholesterol for you I would suck out your red blood cells and extract cholesterol from them red blood cells carry far far more cholesterol than do all of your lipoproteins put together
