Episode 25: The Cholesterol Episode
May 20, 2024Welcome to Episode 25 of The Road to Carnivore Podcast!
Carnivore is often criticized for being a diet that’s overloaded with cholesterol-rich foods, and for being a diet that can give people high cholesterol.
In this 16-minute episode, we are going to discuss this criticism, and the many incorrect narratives around cholesterol.
We also discuss statins, a cash cow drug that has been demonstrated to be both ineffective and harmful.
