Rethinking LDL Cholesterol

This chapter features a dynamic discussion among scientists about LDL cholesterol's complex relationship with arterial plaque, particularly in those on low-carb diets. It highlights the concept of LDL as a biomarker rather than a direct cause of cardiovascular issues and discusses groundbreaking research on lean mass hyper responders. The conversation challenges traditional perceptions of LDL, suggesting that higher levels may not always correlate with increased cardiovascular risk.
