In today's episode we're challenging the belief that cholesterol is the main cause of heart disease. Did you know 75% of heart attack patients have "normal" cholesterol levels?We dive into 50 years of buried data, including the Minnesota Coronary Experiment, which showed that lowering cholesterol didn't always save lives—it even increased death risk in some cases.We explore why insulin resistance and inflammation are the real culprits, the side effects of statins, and why your body needs cholesterol for brain health. Learn the markers that truly matter.References: High Cholesterol & Heart Disease: Myth Or Truth? (The Data They Ignored)Become a supporter for just 2€ per month.
