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.
So there is evidence that if you increase the clearance of LDL from the blood through drugs like statins, which lower LDL by... We can talk about this perhaps later, the role of LDL receptors in the liver is crucial to regulating LDL in the blood, because LDL receptors, particularly in the liver, remove LDL from the blood. So it has been shown that if you increase LDL receptor activity and increase LDL uptake from the blood, you can lower LPS levels.

this has been shown in a variety of mechanistic studies for example using statins which lower ldl through a variety of different mechanisms one of many includes increasing the number of ldl receptors and therefore increasing the recycling of these lipoproteins and subsequently lps has been shown to be lowered in circulation after statin use for example
