Cholesterol is created by the body to repair damaged vessels. Whatever causes damaged vessels is the real cause of atherosclerosis. Things like sugar, refined carbs, smoking and alcohol are some of the major causes of damaged vessels

A trick: you can watch series at instaflixxer. I've been using them for watching all kinds of movies lately.

@Reece Cameron Yup, I've been watching on instaflixxer for years myself :)

'Hyperlipidemia' aint a problem, and aibt a condition. And it doesn't affect your atherosclerosis at all. There are twins with familial hypercholesterolemia that don't have the same risk...but they have different clotting disorders risks.
Whatever damages your vessels and their lining WILL give you atherosclerosis ...'and 'cholesterol' or 'hypercholesterolemia' ain't one of it, cause evolution ain't stupid.

[@worawatsr9803]

Exactly. Cholesterol isn’t the cause. It’s produced by the body to repair damaged vessels. Whatever causes the vessels to be damaged is the real cause. Things like sugar, refined carbs, smoking and alcohol are some of the major causes of damaged vessels.
