2021 The Year of Reaping

I wonder if this has anything to do with cholesterol, doctor.

#1 - Don’t worry about cholesterol; that’s a drug company scam.
#2 - TC’s diet is not the problem.

Not even sure how to respond to that....

Rock on dude.

Think of it this way:

There’s some amount of things you think you know but are actually bullshit, maybe as much as 25%; unfortunately, you don’t know which is what but, hopefully, you’ll figure out some of the bs eventually. Like everything, some people are ahead on that curve. Now of all the people you’ve ever known, it’s probable that I’m one of those people.

I mean, that’s been accepted medical theory for at least 50 years. Going to need a little more than ‘hash said so’.

I’ve heard of bad vs good cholesterol being a balance that maintains artery health, but I’m too lazy to find sources.

[Martin Hash]

The papers of 5 years ago showed it all to be bunk. Remember, satins are daily dosage, and almost everyone on a Western diet has “high cholesterol,” so it’s huge income for the pharmaceutical industry.

Sometimes all you got is “Hash said so,” because otherwise you have to battle the cretins all by yourself.

I think we’re talking about the same thing. ‘High cholesterol’ is meaningless. What matters is the balance between HDL and LDL.

[Martin Hash]

No.

The verdict on HDL is problematic but both LDL values: bullshit.

Definitely going to need more to go on before I change my diet lol. But I usually eat whatever I want anyway.
Organic home cookin’ has been good to me.

It’s tough to overcome the established narrative; hell, 2020 blew up some of my most cherished indoctrination.

p.s. It’s even tougher always being the contrarian; one’s constantly being accused of “not a real ...”

[SuburbanFarmer]

Yeah, I’d imagine a lot of people are feeling that way this year.

For my part, I’m a little shocked that my lifelong cynicism was validated all at once.
