If the standard interpretation of "high cholesterol" turns out to be wrong (it isn't looking good for the standard interpretation) - and instead other measures are more important for cardiovascular health (LDL particle size, insulin resistance, triglycerides, etc.) then the Standard American Diet goes flying out the window and the next move is to ask, "why the fuck was that the government recommendation?"

You're left with ignorance or malice, neither of which are particularly reassuring. And both of which force you to go pretty deep into co-conspirators to make any sense of... The implications for the pharma industry, the medical establishment, the education system (particularly medical education), the agricultural-industrial complex, justifications for ESG, etc. - it's all bad news. All this from a closer look at cholesterol. 

 You mean that high cholesterol is not the reason but a sign? 

 I have tons of personal notes on this but nothing in a shareable state, so please excuse me getting an AI to give you an answer:  https://www.perplexity.ai/search/explain-how-ldl-particle-size-3Zh8olsJQ2SUj91OoirKGA#0

Basic idea is: total cholesterol count is worse than irrelevant. LDL comes in various particle sizes: small dangerous, large okay. Other metabolic and diet factors are more predictive of cardiovascular health. 

Add to that: dietary cholesterol (cholesterol on the label of what you're eating) has little to no impact on heart health either.
