Cholesterol The amount of cholesterol in the blood is of no importance. (Apart from for selling statins 🤡) What is important is whether it is oxidised or not ; and this is only measured in research labs. If you eat polyunsaturated fats (seed oils) or fat from animals that have been fed seed oils (ie chicken and pork) then your cholesterol will be oxidised. It is oxidised cholesterol that causes heart disease.
Cholesterol The strange idea that cholesterol causes atherosclerosis was revived in the 1950s when the vegetable oil industry learned that their polyunsaturated oils lowered serum cholesterol. (Many other toxins lower cholesterol, but that is never mentioned.) The industry began advertising their oils as "heart protective," and they enlisted some influential organizations to help in their advertising: The American Dietetic Association, the American Heart Association, the US Dept. of Agriculture and FDA, and the AMA. The oil industry helped to create and promote a large amount of fraudulent and unscientific work . Ray Peat
During his rule (1929–1953), dictator Joseph Stalin declared New Year’s Day as a national family holiday instead of Christmas and replaced the Christmas tree with the New Year’s tree in 1935. Grandfather Frost [a white-beared character in a fur coat from Russian folklore who bore gifts in a sleigh pulled by three horses], now appearing in either blue or red, was retained to bring gifts of New Year’s Even instead of Christmas Eve. image
