Rethinking Insulin and Cholesterol's Role in Health

This chapter examines the often-overlooked importance of fasting insulin as a key marker of metabolic health, contrasting its significance with traditional cholesterol metrics. It critiques the pharmaceutical industry's heavy reliance on statins, advocates for a dietary shift towards higher red meat consumption, and presents new research challenging existing notions about LDL cholesterol and heart health. Through engaging anecdotes and experiments, the chapter highlights the importance of understanding underlying causes of health issues instead of merely targeting symptoms.
