@MercuryPrint What equipment was used to produce Mr. Alhart's book?

An interesting study. If you're on statins or your primary doc or cardiologist is pushing them, you might want to reconsider.

[Dr Shawn Baker 🥩 @SBakerMD]

Imagine following nearly 13 million real people for more than 10 years just to see what cholesterol level helps them live the longest. That is exactly what Korean scientists did in a giant 2019 study. They tracked 12.8 million adults who had check-ups between 2001 and 2004, and they kept watching until 2013. More than 694,000 people died during that long stretch.
The results were clear and surprising. Cholesterol and death formed a U-shape. Very low cholesterol was linked to higher death rates. So was very high cholesterol. The sweet spot for the longest life was 210 to 249 mg/dL for most adults. That is higher than many doctors call “ideal.” Younger people had a slightly lower best range, but still not the super-low numbers often pushed today.
Because the study lasted so many years, reverse causality is less likely to explain the low-cholesterol danger. Reverse causality means a hidden illness might lower your cholesterol right before it kills you. With more than a decade of follow-up, early sickness cannot easily account for the extra deaths seen in people who started with low cholesterol. The pattern held across ages and for both men and women.
The huge number of people—almost the entire adult population of a country—makes the findings hard to ignore. Smaller studies can be wrong by chance. This one is massive. It shows that moderately higher total cholesterol, not the lowest possible number, went with the best chance of living longer in this large group.
In short, the biggest study of its kind found that cholesterol levels in the low-to-mid 200s were tied to the longest lives, and the long tracking time makes it tougher to blame the higher death rates at low levels on reverse causality alone.

@news10nbc No one cares. I mean, no one actually gives a flippin', flyin', eff what these snot-nosed kids do; aside from your station caring. They'll help fill up two to three minutes of "news" time...that no one watches anyway.

@JoeB396 You mean the @GovKathyHochul "Vote For ME" check? Yeah, we received it.

@JohnnyWhales3 Kathy couldn't build enough windmills (her fever dream) to power the data centers...unless they're spinnin' like this.

@ArlineL0 @babybirch7 Thanks Arline. Just a gorgeous day to be up on the lake for a few hours.

[Steve Necaster @stenec]

Spent a wonderful afternoon with the lovely @babybirch7 up along the shore of Lake America. It was an absolutely beautiful afternoon.

@KimberlyRRadio @Brockport C'mon. Did they really know the guy before his detainment? Just lazy students whose brains aren't yet fully developed, spouting off about things they know nothing about...like real life.

[Steve Necaster @stenec]

Go ahead. Vote democrat next month. They promise "free" everything...but never deliver. This is what can happen when you elect these clowns into office.

@ArlineL0 It's tough to listen to this witch.

@JohnnyWhales3 @babybirch7 The absolute best!

@Simondagrump @babybirch7 There weren't many trees in color today. A few weeks will be perfect. 👍🏻

@annatorch1965 @babybirch7 Thanks Laurie! It's much appreciated!

[Steve Necaster @stenec]

@annatorch1965 @babybirch7 Indeed. We'll just hunker down stay all cozy inside. Soup sounds like a great idea!
