What are your thoughts about people who consume seed oils and yet don't have heart attacks? The number of people who consciously avoid seed oils is probably not large, and yet not every seed oil consumer has a heart attack. I know a guy who doesn't avoid them and he had a CAC scan that came back clean as a whistle. How are these lucky bastards getting away with it?
Most people who smoke don't get lung cancer, tha vast majority don't.
Neither seed oils or cigarettes are like cyanide, which kills you instantly. They can overwhelm the body's antioxidant system over the long term (for cigarettes it's like 20 years) and predispose you to disease.
It's a very helpful overview.
““We need only find drugs or dietary treatments that slow the conversion of native LDL to the relevant modified form” (Steinberg, 1989)”
Instead, we got statins, which, unless I'm mistaken, reduce overall LDL cholesterol. Not just the bad kind. Is that right?
Yes, statins reduce production of cholesterol, this reducing everything downstream of that, including LDL.
Like swatting a fly with a barn door. You'll hit everything in the vicinity.

Excellent work. For some reason you left out most of the references on Malone's website though...
