Cholesterol & Metabolic Health ft. Dr. Philip Ovadia
Around the 14 minute mark, I think the surgeon's argument about LDL cholesterol not being important gets hit with a pretty strong opposing argument. That those people he is operating on that may currently have low LDL cholesterol, may have had high LDL most of their lives which caused all the damage, but are now on drugs to reduce it. Sure, he sees them with low LDL when he operates on them but that doesn't mean a thing when looking at their entire history. Thats a pretty strong gaping hole in his argument.
