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.
guys like me who were well into believing yes lowering LDL cholesterol though the only metric we have now and that's good people seem to do better became very aggressive statin people so we used to see em eyes like crazy in our heyday we stop seeing them anymore
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.
and it actually um Chang ched my opinion on like you know now I'm a little bit more conscious about the saturated fat I consume U and that's helped that's so I've never had super high LDL but I've always been around one50 to 125 even if I reduce my saturated fat increase my fiber and I eat probably 60 70 grams of fiber a day
I kept that probably until about five years ago four years ago and I just saw enough of these melan randomizations come out it's like wow that's pretty powerful when you look at the mortality rate and it is like linear with the exposure the lifetime exposure to LDL I'm like uh can't really hold this belief anymore because it's just not supported by the data
