  • Japan et al is a very societally conservative country and considers the typical right-wing mob/sheep mentality preferable to the left’s constant debates.

    Eh… Kind of? In my experience most people under 40 in Japan are completely apolitical. Like to the point where they wouldn’t really understand the difference between the left and right.

    They have some of the worst voting turnout in the world, and the older class typically makes all the decisions in regards to government.

    They are socially conservative, but mostly because the younger generations are completely disconnected from politics.



  • The body literally makes it because you need it

    For what?

    People with high cholesterol live longer…

    I don’t think that’s really a conclusive study. It only focuses on people who are already 80 or older and ignores the majority of people who suffer from cardiovascular issues that don’t make it to their eighties because of it.

    From this study you could also conclude that people who have a natural resistance to high cholesterol live longer.

    Youd wanna lower arterial plaque so cholesterol doesnt get stuck?

    Plaque forms when cholesterol lodges to the walls of arteries. This happens at a greater rate when you have more lower density cholesterol in your blood.

    An arterial calcium scan is the best indicator for heart disease etc. Not cholesterol

    But calcium buildups are formed from clacified plaque, which is made from cholesterol…

    If all forms of high cholesterol were really beneficial Americans would modern day Methuselahs.
