Oxygen is necessary for a fire, but it isn’t sufficient to cause one. Likewise, LDL may be necessary for cardiovascular disease, but it isn’t sufficient on its own. So here’s the question: does lowering oxygen more and more reduce the risk of a fire? Yes—but at what cost, and without addressing what else actually starts the fire? #HeartHealth #CardiovascularHealth #MetabolicHealth #Cholesterol #LDL #Prevention #HealthSpan #Longevity #LifestyleMedicine #EvidenceBasedMedicine #StayCurious #MedicalScience
