Studies and Links From Simon:
1) Saturated fats versus unsaturated fats
2) High saturated fat rich low carb diet in healthy women markedly raises LDL-C and ApoB in just 4 weeks
3) Plant-based dietary patterns typically lower LDL-C by 0.3 mmol/l which equates to about 20% reduction in risk of atherosclerotic CVD
4) The hadza
5) Red meat does increase LDL-C and ApoB
6)Swapping animal protein for plant protein improved LDL-C levels
7) LDL-C is causal in development of atherosclerotic CVD
8) All cells produce their own cholesterol and the brain does not rely on systemic cholesterol
9) Low cholesterol does not negatively affect sex hormones
10) When optimal protein is achieved (1.6g per Kg), there is no difference in strength/hypertrophy between animal and plant protein
11) Total protein and plant protein are associated with reduced mortality. Swapping animal protein for plant protein is associated with reduced mortality
12) Two clinical studies looking at soy foods, or soy isoflavones, fed to men that measured semen parameters and/or sex hormones:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19819436/
13) Meta-analysis of 38 clinical interventions looking at soy foods/isoflavones and sex hormones:
14) Danish dietary guidelines and 3 other evidence-based nutrition guidelines
