It's actually very simple, avoid drinking Coca-Cola & for the most part, you'll do fine.

Basically, one can reduce insulin insensitivity, chronic inflammation, etc, etc, by supplementing with R-Lipoic Acid, Quercetin Phytosome, Vitamin D, trace mineral combo of (Magnesium, Copper, Boron, & Zinc) and adding fruits like apples, pomegranates along with cruciferous veggies like broccoli, cauliflower.

The eggs, chicken, beef, etc, will take care of themselves with the above in one's diet.

avoid drinking Coca-Cola

This also implies other refined sugars, however, Coca-Cola has phosphoric acid which depletes one's body of trace minerals & that's worse than a mere sugar high.

And if you're a boozer, please supplement with N-Acetyl-Cysteine. Your liver will thank you.

I have read that men at the time of death will often have very low cholesterol.
It is also linked to depression: "Cholesterol levels and mood disorders may be connected by a link between low cholesterol concentrations and low levels of the brain chemical serotonin. Low levels are associated with depression, anger, sleep loss and other mood disorders."
Drive down cholesterol with statins and then prescribe an SSRI.
Statins are a Pharma scam, most of my contemporaries are on them, along with blood pressure meds, having been taken in by Pharma's Physician Field Operative Network.

We're living in times where the enemy within controls the public's view on what is news, science, medicine, and what is acceptable or unacceptable.

Just do the opposite of almost everything they tell you.

Nutritional Standards are part of the big steal. Statins are 'gateway' drugs that induce an array of symptoms that require more medication from Pharma.

It's the same fake magic as Covid PCR test, walk away poison vaccines and fake Covid. Make an assertion that a test result is associated with a pathology that people fear, then give a dangerous, metabolism altering drug that changes that specific test result to demonstrate efficacy. Yes, it may be 'effective' on the 'test result', while wreaking havocs with the body otherwise and having no significant influence on the feared pathology. Medicines are supposed to benefit PEOPLE NOT TEST RESULTS.

Since government recommendations on nutrition are arbitrary and designated by lobbies for economics, and peer reviewed medicine has been exposed as a series of bribes and fixes to support Rockefeller Pharma, everything must be questioned.

My wife recently tested high for cholesterol. Not very high, just a little high. Doctor recommended statins, but she never took them. Did some light research from naturopathic sites, and best recommendation I could find for statins was if you are at high risk for heart attack. Cholesterol is produced by the liver. Increased cholesterol points to inflammation. Cholesterol is not the issue, it's a warning. Reduce your inflammation. Unless it's avocado, virgin olive, or coconut oil, best bet is to avoid it. That means cutting out almost everything fried. And don't buy olive oil from Italy, more likely to be canola.

Statins mess with your liver. unless you are at very high risk for heart disease, DO NOT TAKE.

We don't even know if Cholesterol is bad at all, esp. since oxidized cholesterol seems the only damaging one, which is founds in eggs, dairy, meat, fish, some of the heathiest and most wholesome type of foods, but is also countered/balanced by antioxidants in the diet, and it's unknown what effect, if at all, oxycholesterol in the diet has, vs produced by the body. Cholesterol is necessary for Vitamin D synthesis, so you can likely reduce blood cholesterol levels by supplementing with Vitamin D. Been between 200 - 250 most of adulthood, with normal ldl/hdl ratio and normal triglycerides, so they always say it's a bit high but "not high enough for meds". I always tell them I'll never take meds so so don't even bother. I believe the body regulates it via a feedback mechanism to produce enough D3 and for other means, why correct it unless it's crazily abnormal. As @Robert Sproul mentioned, many studies show levels of Cholesterol near death, but admitting the reverse effect if what you were told before would destroy one of the largest big pharma markets overnight. Fact is current state of the art research still knows hack shit about Cholesterol.

i remember the 80s when they were like "OMG, avoid Eggs! No Bacon. Eat Oatmeal, then Spaghetti, then a big bowl of veggies with Macaroni" Pritikin Death Diet.

And margarine! It's soooo good for you! Unlike that horrible butter that'll kill you outright!!!

Coffee, too.

Cholesterol wasn't even a thing until pharma invented statins.

30-40% Fake.

Best bet is single source Olive Oil. And they're growing it now in Georgia again after a century or two. Texas and Florida now also. When I finish moving I'll post the one I got, it's great, but I like my EVOO robust flavored.

That's a surprise, since Euros take their food so seriously. I would have thought false olive oil in Italy would be a punishable offense.

Same here. I noticed the Pompeii brand of EVOO is sourced from several countries, including those in Europe and South America.

So the Godfather wasn't all fantasy. I remember reading years back that Italy exports 75% more olive oil than they produce.

After taking statin for 25 years, created problems with big muscles, especially legs. Took me years before finding out what cause it. Doctor goes around never mentions statin.

I don't think they produce false olive oil, but whenever big conglomerates and international exporters get involved, they will find ways to reduce quality and increase profit, no matter which country.

When I was at Le Tube Air Base in France, I remember a French guy explaining what "Virgin Olive Oil" is. He told us that "Extra" virgin olive oil comes from very light pressure on the press. Then they press a little harder for the "Virgin" olive oil. Then normal pressure to get the regular olive oil. Then they heat the press, apply lots of pressure, and then they get the oil they sell to the Italians.

LOL

I think that's probably true for the multi-sourced labels but I've read and seen exposes claiming a lot of italian olive oil is mixed with non-olive oil (sometimes from N. Africa) and it's the mafia's doing.

So why does the medical establishment insist on lowering LDL levels? Sadly, its another example of profit taking priority over peoples’ health.

It's shocking that so many doctors ignore the physiological reality and get taken in by false information from drug companies. I’m not suggesting that all doctors are bad. There are many many great doctors out there. But their voices are difficult to hear amidst the propaganda from the commercial interests.

They sure suck here in Texas! I'm amazed at how corrupt our medical system is after being gone for 25 years. We are ranked 7th worst.

I'm still glad I GTFO of CA though. Didn't realize how good I had it in the SF bay area and La Jolla area as far as healthcare goes.

1. Rackets that try to find ways to make more money of you and insurance that are not needed - for you - for them they need your $
2. Literal thieves in the billing departments.
3. 1/3 of the doctors at clinics I've been to are 'okay' instead of asshats. (total of 3 so far)

Just eat some red rice once in awhile if it's a concern. That's what statins are derived from and in some cases not even modified.

The bigger answer to this requires you to go back to when the AMA was founded, and the shift from preventative to treatment based medical care. But simply put, Western medicine focuses on isolated treatments without regard to your bodies holistic machinations.
