The Proof with Simon Hill
Maintain Low Cholesterol to Prevent Atherosclerosis
Veins used as arterial bypasses can develop atherosclerotic lesions due to high pressure. Cholesterol can lead to atherosclerosis, even in metabolically healthy individuals, because arteries are inherently vulnerable to damage.
