Human ancestors like Australopithecus – which lived around 3.5 million years ago in southern Africa – ate very little to no meat, according to new research published in the scientific journal Science.

The data revealed that these early hominins primarily relied on plant-based diets, with little to no evidence of meat consumption.

The potential correlation of sudden cholesterol drop with mortality can also be confounded by sudden weight loss, which correlates with diseases like cancer.

How do you explain how statins reduce risk of CVD events or why those with familial hypercholesterolemia have such high rates of CVD?
It also still does nothing to address apo-b…
