A blog by Michael Butler
Articles and opinions for my family & friends about how I am living a healthier life informed by scientific research undertaken since being diagnosed with heart disease. Starting with the principle that each of us is biologically unique, everyone can use nutrition and lifestyle to achieve their greatest potential.

Are you worried about cholesterol?
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.
