The consensus that an elevated LDL-cholesterol from lifestyle and genetics causes clogged arteries due to atherosclerosis is worldwide and strong. However, the cholesterol denialists show up now and then with new theories but no new research. This week, Dr. Kahn addresses a new book and headlines positing that blood clots are the cause, not LDL cholesterol. He reviews how this is an old and inaccurate theory that can cause harm to many. He suggests plantpositive.com as a resource.
