cholesterol is good though as long as it is included in an active lifestyle. Your body needs it to make testosterone and other manly chemicals.

Exactly. And the dietary cholesterol only has a small effect on your blood cholesterol anyway.

No i'm not the retarded one here. Go look it up if you think i'm making this shit up. Cholesterol is an essential nutrient that is used in the production of cell membranes, and testosterone. As long as you aren't some kind of couch potato it's literally good for you in moderation.

Many things are good in moderation, it's that excess part where people go wrong.

both ldl and hdl dummy. You keep acting like you know everything and it's making you look ignorant AF.

You may be right but most people are numb to the advice of so called dietary professionals. Obesity in America spiked when they told people carbs were better for you than fats. There is so much we don’t know about how the body metabolizes and balances different diets. It’s complex and that’s why “scientists” keep changing their minds.

"Science" is just as subject to corporate lobbying and dirty money as the rest.

No need to scare quote. Science is supposed to be malleable and its insights today are not meant to be proclamation of absolute truth.

You should expect science to contradict itself. That means we're learning. Again, for emphasis: nothing science says is absolute truth.

When you take the religion from a culture that culture will find something else to grant that kind of ultimate authority. Science is what fills the gap for most today. Also I'm pantheist.

All fair and I agree for the most part. If only media or relevant authorities cast scientific consensus in the light you just described then fine. But it usually comes in the form of settled science and how dare you disagree. Like these signs I see on people’s lawns that say “science is real” as if we all deny science if we disagree with their settled interpretation.

Many people are different too, and what's okay for one person may wreck another. Too much cholesterol is generally never a good thing, though, which is why I don't ever eat a lot of fried food.

I am going to guess that you did not watch the video or read the supporting documentation from the Harvard PHD.
