ill add one thing, what he is stating it basic science but increased sugar and sat fat intake increases cholesterol biosynthesis which is packed via LDL AND VLDL and peripheral tissues pick up the chol from ldl via HMG reductase(might be forgetting the specific enzyme). the thing is you the cells only take in what they want and downregulate there enzymes to pick up cholesterol. so when you eat like shit more and more cholesterol is sent out via ldl and builds up as your cells refuse to take it. So statins work wonderfully here when you eat like shit, obviously the true etiology of many diseases is not the metabolic disturbance.
