Critiques of my work are welcome! Please be aware of the following notes & rules before submitting critique:Be mindful that this content is not all encompassing on the subject at hand and is self-limited for brevity to reach a wider audience. Also, be aware that I receive hundreds of YouTube comments per day, so the only way your critique can be considered is if you follow the steps outlined below. Finally, YouTube auto-deletes links, so I do not see most comments with links attached. RULES:If your comment is rude, you will be banned.If your comment is not about the studies/topics at hand (i.e. extending to other outcomes not discussed) or offers critique with no scientific basis, it is unlikely to receive a response.If you can follow these rules, I will try to address your critique and if there is merit, I will add an AMENDMENT to the content in question and pin it so everyone can see it (thank you!).

Mindsip insights from this episode:

Track non-HDL cholesterol for better cardiovascular health

Instead of focusing on HDL, you should track your non-HDL cholesterol (non-HDL-C), which is a more relevant risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

Reassess HDL cholesterol as a mere biomarker, not a health goal

Contrary to popular belief, recent research indicates that intentionally increasing HDL cholesterol does not improve cardiovascular health, demoting it to a simple biomarker.
