Please ignore my irony, but good luck funding that. Almost no well known food item would/has ever go through something like that as it would set you back several (tens) millions. The best you can hope for is a study where people report eating different substances in their daily lives and afterwards you draw conclusions from several biomedical read-outs. But that wont be cheap either, you would just be testing multiple things at once.

Good catch, thank you. In retrospective, I should have written 'to prove that there is no effect' since for that you would need a much bigger (and more diverse) cohort over a longer time frame. If you have a strong effect, this is obviously not necessary.
That is exactly what I was looking for! Thankyou.
But wait... isn't HDL supposed to be the good form of cholesterol?

As if it wasn't already hard to know what to believe... sigh
