That's strange. I keep reading that there is "no safe amount " of alcohol to drink.

Really though, you do you but in moderation. Don't want to drink? Don't. Do? Be moderate about it.

From the post:

>Researchers at Harvard University led the study, and it included nearly 58,000 adults in Japan who were followed for up to a year using a database of medical records from routine checkups. Researchers found that when people switched from being nondrinkers to drinkers during the study, they saw a drop in their "bad" cholesterol -- aka low-density lipoprotein cholesterol or LDL. Meanwhile, their "good" cholesterol -- aka high-density lipoprotein cholesterol or HDL -- went up when they began imbibing. HDL levels went up so much, that it actually beat out improvements typically seen with medications, the researchers noted.

Wow, what a kiked article.

TLDR: cholesterol levels don't matter. Do not consume any fat high in linoleic acid, sugar, or alcohol if you want healthy arteries.

Cholesterol doesn’t cause heart disease. Studies show no consistent link between levels and outcomes. Plaque forms from inflammation and artery damage, not cholesterol floating around. Seed oils are high in linoleic acid. Linoleic acid oxidizes and inflames arteries. Sugar and alcohol spike triglycerides, ramp up insulin resistance, and boost inflammation even more.

Traditional diets with high fat and cholesterol didn’t cause issues until processed crap like seed oils showed up. The cholesterol obsession comes from weak data and statin cash. Statins cut inflammation, not just cholesterol, which hints at the real problem. Oxidized LDL from seed oils drives plaque, not regular cholesterol. Drop the inflammatory junk, and cholesterol numbers don’t matter.
