@nutritionsmadesimple: The 200 Total Cholesterol Myth Which Will Burry You I’m Dr. Michael Richman, a double board certified cardiothoracic surgeon. In today’s video, I’m revealing why the cholesterol number of 200 is outdated and what you should really focus on for heart health. Believe it or not the less than 200 or greater than 200 cholesterol myth has never been written into one clinical guideline. So forget about it. For guidance or a lipid/cardiovascular consultation, you can go to my website at www.paladinmds.com #cardiovascularhealth #cardiovascularprevention #lipids #cholesteroltesting #medicalmyths
I don’t like when you do this. You post 1/4 of the actual video. Where’s the rest of it?

Why in the 60’s, 70’s and early 80’s a total cholesterol of 300 was acceptable?

Beam me up Scotty :
came from the Framingham study. The number 200 came from the bell curve with not relationship to anything.

I think numbers are all relative. There are other factors that should be considered.

MD’s love complicating common sense! If you ate at Burger King and you had your cholesterol run the next day if I’d be over 200 if if you didn’t eat that way, it won’t 😳! Bloodwork is one snapshot in time it fluctuates greatly depending on your lifestyle , habits, what you eat,your stress level and if you’re sedentary!

My doc told me not to worry about my cholesterol being 220. She said the other numbers looked good and I eat healthy and exercise. I was so happy to hear that

mine stated at 270. I went carnivore. after a year it's 250. my doctor is still not happy. I'll take a quote from the cholesterol code ....if I die 5 years early from not taking a statin to lower my cholesterol so be it. at 57 I feel like I'm 20 years old. I'll just keep doing what I'm doing

It was like 360 in the 70s then Statins came around and BAM now it’s well below 200!! Keep selling the fear!

In 1977 the acceptable cholesterol level was 300. Thought provoking when CAD has steadily risen.

If you all read he leaves his website that everyone can take the time to read and learn something. Everyone wants to be spoon-fed and when they aren’t here comes the stupid comments.
