Focus: Cholesterol particles, Metabolic health, Fasting

LDL cholesterol: the case that particle type matters more than the number
Cholesterol has become shorthand for heart risk, but the body also needs it to build hormones and cells. This talk argues that the real danger is not LDL cholesterol in general, but small, dense, damaged LDL particles, which it links to sugar, insulin, and inflammation. It favours advanced particle testing and diet over cholesterol medicines. Mainstream cardiology sees this differently, holding that lowering LDL and ApoB reduces heart disease regardless of particle size.
