Here is a YouTube video that shows how he cherry picks data and ignores the absolute risk of high cholesterol based on using only a brief 1.5 year timeline instead of cholesterol effects over a lifetime https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBGPCHgsbyk
You don't have to believe him. Just listen to his arguments and see if his logic has merit. If it does jot down some of the studies he mentions, look them up and see if you agree or disagree with his assessment.
The value of discussion is to be exposed to ideas you might not have had. I don't think anyone reads a book or watched a Youtube video and thinks or says "this is all there is to the subject. This is prefect information and is the only information to believe". It is just another source of information to evaluate and consider.
What he says makes logical sense to me. Is he 100% correct and the final authority on the subject? Of course not. But I think he has logic and points of view worth considering.
If a person has information worth sharing, how do you propose they get that information out? You don't seem to be a fan of Youtube presenters. And you indicate his book is only to make money. Maybe there is no way to satisfy your need for absolute truth. I have never found it. I just ultimately have to make a decision what to do despite not having perfect information or "proof". It always boils down to "who to believe".
