There is more and more published evidence that cholesterol is not a health problem and LDL is not a good predictor of heart disease. Conversely, there is mounting evidence that hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation are predictive of metabolic dysfunction of which heart disease is a symptom.

This article summarises new publications I’ve found.

If the answer is yes, you are worried about cholesterol, take a look at this article. I’ve done a deep dive into the literature and provide here an update. I don’t think cholesterol could have caused my heart disease because it is essential for life, my body makes most of the cholesterol I contain, and study after study in the literature demonstrates that not only is it unlikely to be harmful, too little is, in fact, associated with poorer health.
