Basically the industry's entire approach to cholesterol. High cholesterol means something else is wrong, causing vascular inflammation or damage. Their solution? Treat cholesterol and ignore the problem.
Most people think now that cholesterol comes from food. Nope your body makes it because it needs it.
And the most common cause of elevated ldl? Plant based diets.
Statin drugs are the equivalent of curing colds by lowering white blood cells.
See you're getting better? Your ldl is down
face-palm
^ I don't think most people realize how common this practice is!
Every time I've gone to the OBGYN with a concern the solution is "take birth control". WTF? Can't you come up with a treatment rather than a cover up? What's the point of going when they insist that treating the symptom is fixing the problem?
