Once again, the totally corrupt US government is caught promulgating faulty and dangerous dietary and health guidelines.(Reason) New Research Confirms We Got Cholesterol All Wrong

A comprehensive new study on cholesterol, based on results from more than a million patients, could help upend decades of government advice about diet, nutrition, health, prevention, and medication. Just don't hold your breath.
The study, published in the Expert Review of Clinical Pharmacology, centers on statins, a class of drugs used to lower levels of LDL-C, the so-called "bad" cholesterol, in the human body. According to the study, statins are pointless for most people.
"No evidence exists to prove that having high levels of bad cholesterol causes heart disease, leading physicians have claimed" in the study, reports the Daily Mail. The Express likewise says the new study finds "no evidence that high levels of 'bad' cholesterol cause heart disease."
The study also reports that "heart attack patients were shown to have lower than normal cholesterol levels of LDL-C" and that older people with higher levels of bad cholesterol tend to live longer than those with lower levels.
The number of people in America who have died or gotten sick because of US government policy is easily in the millions.
Unsurprisingly, these dangerous policies are driven by special interest groups who profit from government propaganda and regulations: The medical establishment with their pill factories and drug pushers (AKA physicians), the sugar industry which sells the heroin version of food, the prison and law enforcement complexes which suck up billions in tax dollars, etc. They are the ones pushing this garbage on the American people.
