If one person with high cholesterol does not get heart disease then cholesterol is not the problem. Fact. Logic. Why don’t you stop your appeal to authority arguments and focus on the facts. It’s not that I haven’t died yet either. My calcium artery score was zero. I have no plaque in my arteries and I’ve had high cholesterol for probably 30 years of my life because of my genetics. If that is not interesting to you then you have an odd bias. I merely saying that inflammation is the risk factor that matters more than high cholesterol. You can lower cholesterol for someone who has high inflammation and reduce heart disease, but reducing inflammation is more important overall. |

This is such a silly statement I'm not sure where to begin. Plenty of people smoke and drink and don't die of issues related to smoking or drinking, but smoking and drinking are bad for you.
Individual response to things varies. No one reasonable is going to say that because such and such person did X, Y, Z things that we know are bad and didn't have a negative outcome that we must flip the script on if those things are bad are not. Exceptions exist for a wide variety of reasons.

Calcium score does not tell you how much plaque you have in your arteries - it tells you how much calcified plaque you have in your arteries. This is NOT the same thing. You need a CCTA to tell if you have soft plaque or not.
I'm sorry, but you're just severely misinformed here and spreading all sorts of dangerous misinformation all over the comments here.
