    Do you get regular cholesterol tests? I imagine if done in a certain way, with lean meat (high protein, low carb, low-ish fat diet), it could work OK. Vegan can also be healthy, if done properly. I’ve been vegan for about 5 years (switched because my cholesterol was a biy high), and have only noticed positive effects.

      Im not the guy to try to red pill people, but yea look into the the whole cholesterol stuff like in this book:

      https://www.amazon.ca/Great-Cholesterol-Revised-Expanded-Disease/dp/1592339336/ref=asc_df_1592339336/?tag=googleshopc0c-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=459591987525&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15154042979475806172&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9001500&hvtargid=pla-918971768531&psc=1&mcid=b94a9e2cc59f39c1bbca97495f72ae72

      or also Shawn Baker MD on Youtube. I literally couldn’t believe this stuff either but it’s worth having a look into. I’m not saying one or the other is better it entirely depends on the person and body type etc…

        It appears the doctor that co-wrote that book was a quack or grifter that associated himself with other grifters like Dr Oz and The Doctors, and advocated for “alternate health practices” that have no evidence of being helpful (and that sound absurd): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Sinatra

        For stuff like this, I usually try to find the most recent meta-analysis that looks reputable. For example: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9316578/

        If I understand it correctly, it says people with total cholesterol above reference levels have a 27% increase in risk of cardiovascular mortality, people with high LDL have a 21% increase, and people with high HDL have 40% decrease in risk.
