Read the book. I think you will be surprised at just how poor the science is behind cholesterol lowering. Most people (and doctors) think that heart disease is LDL clogging the interior of arteries, nothing could be further from the truth. Most people do not want to do the research for themselves, they just want to trust their doctor. I can't stress just how bad a strategy this is.
Look at it this way - we have drugs that are terrific at lowering LDL (statins, PCSK9 inhibitors) but heart disease is still the number 1 killer of Americans. How can that be if LDL is the cause of heart disease? And why do you think PCSK9 inhibitors were created when statins do a terrific job of lowering cholesterol? I'd bet it's because statins are now off patent.
