@SBakerMD It sounds like you don't really understand much about cholesterol and how it works, or you're grifting. Either way, this should help clear things up for you: https://t.co/mYdTilWsDE

@trikomes this article confuses correlation and causation. the U shape is easily accounted for by the fact that diseases like cancer lower cholesterol. in RCTs, statins consistently lower mortality, regardless of baseline cholesterol. there is no conspiracy: https://t.co/qWrdeMep60

@MartinGTobias Tell me you don’t understand correlation vs causation without telling me. This is one of the most naive takes that continues circulating on the internet. If you care to educate yourself: https://t.co/uvmdtPqQnu

@CarnivoreIs @rodney_dever @jwolnizer @forktown385 The study didn't control for it.. In studies of peiple with stable Low/low that hasn't dropped have lower all cause mortality.

@SBakerMD This has been debunked a million times. This is reverse causation. https://t.co/B8KsSnl3XE

@bohdyone @buceoman @SBakerMD https://t.co/zx13nujBwN It basically says that falling cholesterol levels are associated with underlying diseases and conditions that cause death, whereas there was no increase in risk in those with stable, low total cholesterol levels.

@MichaelMindrum @ethanjweiss this has been addressed many times. depends on cause of LDL-c lowering. many chronic diseases lower cholesterol. lowering it via pharma or lifestyle or genetics lowers CVD and mortality https://t.co/knXNBJQ62c https://t.co/SHgmryLjmT

@ElizabethNade11 @Oncallserver perfect, we addressed exactly this study in the video https://t.co/SHgmryLjmT but even more important and incontrovertible is the study authors' *own* explanation that people concluding low LDL-c causes harm is a misunderstanding of the data: https://t.co/knXNBJQ62c
