What CAUSES heart disease? Cholesterol? LDL, HDL or Insulin? (Human Science part 2)

The video explores cholesterol, focusing on LDL and HDL molecules. LDL, often termed 'bad cholesterol,' can lead to atherosclerosis when it accumulates in artery walls. The immune system's response can worsen this condition. HDL helps reduce inflammation but can't always prevent artery blockage. The video challenges the notion of LDL as inherently bad, suggesting sugar and insulin resistance as key factors in its harmful transformation. It highlights the importance of understanding metabolic health and the role of diet in managing cholesterol levels.
