but the brain it's way more dependent on cholesterol and then we have studies of people with Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive their brains need to be depleted of cholesterol to variable degrees
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.
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 talked about the brain certainly the only way has cholesterol as it makes it so if we didn't know we were inhibiting cholesterol synthesis in the brain would you be really that comfortable with that and if you were is there certain limits where oh I wouldn't mind reducing a little bit but how much cuz that brain really needs it and the brain has no other source of cholesterol
