Same for high cholesterol. We covered high cholesterol beforeSo low cholesterol and death co-occur. low cholesterol could cause death or other factor causes both low cholesterol and death. something causes low cholesterol AND death?! low cholesterol common in cancer. tumor cells accumulate cholesterol. accumulation of cholesterol is general feature of cancer. after chemotherapy cholesterol risesliver disease: cholesterol can be low. so several diseases can lower cholesterol. so Low cholesterol may cause death or low cholesterol may co-occur with death but not cause death cholesterol-lowering meds, statins: If low cholesterol kills, lowering it causes death. cholesterol reduced by statins = more death? if low cholesterol is innocent, artificially lowering should not cause deathpeople on statins do not die more even with lower cholesterol. unlike people not on statins. low cholesterol isn’t the causedoesn’t seem low cholesterol causes death. “incorrect to use data against lipid lowering for cardiovascular disease and mortality”; “decrease in cholesterol likely due to debilitation”. cholesterol goes down because of illness? low cholesterol not causalif disease reduces cholesterol, stable low cholesterol shouldn't mean more death. if low cholesterol is the killer, whether cholesterol drops or is always low = troublecholesterol drop coincides with cancer and death. always low cholesterol = no risk. So problem isn’t low cholesterol.authors: "low cholesterol = tumor or liver disease?”bag 3: manipulate cholesterol. people on statins don’t die more but maybe people on statins exercise moreIf low cholesterol kills, lowering it with meds causes deathRCTs: lowered LDL-cholesterol and death did not go uplowered LDL-cholesterol, death went down. less mortality with cholesterol lowering. 26 cholesterol-lowering trials: mortality reduced. 10% less death per unit of cholesterol drop. either no change in death or less death with low cholesteroldifferent cholesterol-lowering drugs = similar effect. people with low cholesterol (genetics or diet): similar, total death constant or loweractively lowering cholesterol lowers cardiovascular risk and maybe risk of death. if cholesterol drops spontaneously, cholesterol just creeps over the years, could be a red flag"our results say nothing about role of cholesterol in cardiovascular disease, mortality, cholesterol lowering"cholesterol paradox: similar for BMI. weight loss due to disease. same with cholesterol. our society is hypercholesterolemicnormal cholesterol + lower mortality = possiblemotivated to lower cholesterol? cholesterol lowering: www.thecholesterolchallenge.com/tipsother videos on foods & cholesterolConnect with me:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrGilCarvalho/Twitter: https://twitter.com/NutritionMadeS3Animations: Even Topland @toplandmediaReferences:U-curve: https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4266https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-38461-yletter: https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4266/rapid-responsescholesterol & disease: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8739854/https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/hsz-2014-0194/htmlhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3202884/https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1365-2036.2008.03886.xhttps://link.sp
