docs rarely have time to review new literature and what they learn in med school is engraved into their brains. PLus Ancel Keys did a hell of a job pushing his ideas.

I think also when a layperson starts telling docs about some hypothesis they read a book on, most docs will immidatly shutdown, i mean, this doc would have been giving the same advice for decades, and cognitively, i doubt they would want to think they were wrong all those years.

I've spent countless hours down this rabbit hole myself and read many books on it. i think mainstream med literature is now catching up to the idea that the lipid hypothesis was flawed and wrong all along.

From what i have read, the most dangerous cholesterol subparticle is lp(a) and statins apparantly dont touch it

We view doctors as scientists when we should view them as mechanics. They aren't looking to disprove things they are taught. No offense to mechanics .
