New cigarette regulations offer a point for public health to refer to that would advance solutions in alcohol consumption.

    Or to the leading cause of death of Canadians: dietary cholesterol

    https://www.researchgate.net/profile/William-Roberts-14/publication/23313863_The_Cause_of_Atherosclerosis/links/551477890cf283ee08364f81/The-Cause-of-Atherosclerosis.pdf

    The leading cause of death of Canadians can be eliminated strictly through diet and avoiding animal products that contain cholesterol. And yet we pour millions of dollars into research each year for cutting edge new drugs that give you (so claimed) a 20% reduction in heart attacks, while having dozens of unwanted side effects.

    If you’re relying on the government and industry to teach you how to be healthy and to provide the tools you need to do it, you’re going to die young.

      Dietary cholesterol isn’t well correlated with serum cholesterol, which is what the paper you’ve linked is about. It even veers off into the natural conclusion if you believe that serum cholesterol is the only thing that matters: statin prescriptions for everyone!

      For most people the level of cholesterol in food has little effect on blood cholesterol.

      Fat, on the other hand…

        I should have said dietary animal fats (including cholesterol) leading to serum cholesterol instead of dietary cholesterol and I didn’t catch the point you were making right away
