For those of you who think that Aseem is only now questioning authority/narrative, be aware that he has long been a vocal critic of the cholesterol hypothesis which was big pharma’s original blueprint for foisting dangerous and costly drugs onto an unsuspecting public, regardless of what the evidence showed. I’m sure there’s quite a lot of people in here, wildly questioning aseem’s motives, who still believe that cholesterol/saturated fat and red meat are the major nutritional causes of obesity and CVD. Aseem’s been pushing back against this narrative for years

Yeah, thanks for drawing attention to his battle over the cholesterol hypothesis. He is obviously a conscientious physician. But imagine their situation. They go through and pay for medical school and afterwards have to check out every iota they have been taught. I bet there are few doctors who take the trouble to do any research once their licence has come in. Far too few.

Well said! He has indeed. Firing multiple shots across the bough of poor old cholesterol. I would hazard a guess for possibly 10-12 years.
