Cholesterol can not stick to artery walls without glucose! People on carnivore and ketogenic diets are some of the healthiest people in our society.

Allow me to introduce to you, gluconeogenesis:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluconeogenesis

People on the ketogenic diet have stable blood sugar levels due to glucogenesis and it's those who eat a lot of carbohydrates that experience fluctuations. High sugar levels can cause it to stick to artery walls like little daggers, and cholesterol then gets stuck there as well on those. The original comment was short and didn't include these details.
