you following Gil on YouTube is boring AF and not alternative or interesting in any way.
at least reading Greger is hystical in that he has been a joke on X for as long as i can remember.
i wasn't surprised to learn that Rabble is a Vegan because he has purple hair but i WAS surprised to learn you read Greger.
of course it is never wrong to read something no matter how insane. to read is better than not to read.
but to fall for that crap ... is another matter.
my position on cholesterol is simple - nobody has any clue what it does - everybody who claims to know is a fraud.
as with G-d everybody claims that G-d wants whatever they themselves want because it can't be verified.
in case of Cholesterol you can keep switching up different sub-types that you measure for such that the moment it is revealed your previous research was all BS you now have new types of Cholesterol to research and so you kick the can down the road ...
it's how LG sells refrigerators - they last a year and by the time all the reviews of them failing come out they release a new model so the negative reviews are all buried with the last year's model ...
i will give Greger this though - i actually believe that he is really a vegan - because he looks like a cancer patient which is what all Vegans look like.
imagine unironically taking health advice from ( Greger ) a proponent and adherent of the most unhealthy diet ever invented that causes people to look like they're dying and to lose their minds and to start screeching incoherently ...
or imagine going to a 100% controlled platform ( YouTube ) that instructs their creators what to say and what not to say - finding a mega-account there ( Gil ) and believing you are getting a fair and balanced perspective from it ...
i am starting to seriously doubt your critical thinking skills ...
if you would like to follow somebody semi-credible who isn't me you can follow Dr. E
