It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

MODERATORS
Cholesterol IN FOOD is ok. Cholesterol in your bloodstream is often not depending on quantity and type, LDL: bad, HDL: good. Sugar can be converted into LDL in the liver. High levels of cholesterol can lead to inflammation and then calcification and thickening of arterial walls.
Given the obesity statistics and average US diet everything the poster said was technically correct but they just fumble and blame it all on statins. Lol I bet if you're on statins you've probably been eating too maby treats all your life. Although, in some cases people just naturally over produce LDL in the liver.
Essentially, "fat free" is and was a health exaggeration. Just maybe not for people without a gall bladder lol
