    Im pretty sure some degree of sunlight exposure is good for you though, it literally cured all the spots of psoriasis I had when I spent last summer tanning

    Also I'm pretty sure they are right and sugar has been greatly implicated in heart disease

    Also "cholesterol is not a villain" is a 100% correct statement, there's good and bad cholesterol and it's literally something you need to live, they're a vital component of cell membranes

    Idk shit about statins, but

      Cholesterol IN FOOD is ok. Cholesterol in your bloodstream is often not depending on quantity and type, LDL: bad, HDL: good. Sugar can be converted into LDL in the liver. High levels of cholesterol can lead to inflammation and then calcification and thickening of arterial walls.

      Given the obesity statistics and average US diet everything the poster said was technically correct but they just fumble and blame it all on statins. Lol I bet if you're on statins you've probably been eating too maby treats all your life. Although, in some cases people just naturally over produce LDL in the liver.

      Essentially, "fat free" is and was a health exaggeration. Just maybe not for people without a gall bladder lol

      Some regular sunlight from daily grass touching is good for you, but spending a long time in intense sun with no sunscreen is bad for you.
