Ha! Lifehacker tried hard to be controversial but couldn't make it!

Last night I pointed to a piece on Lifehacker which listed some health myths which they "busted".  One of them was to do with cholesterol.  Of course the cholesterol hypothesis as usually understood is a pile of microbiome, and initially Lifehacker in their post pointed this out.  I cut and pasted the relevant paragraph into yesterday's post.

Today that whole paragraph has disappeared!  Instead there is something on snake venom with this footnote:

Note: Myth 9 previously discussed the relationship between high cholesterol and heart disease. We were working with some bad information and now believe it was incorrect, so we've added this snake bite myth instead. We apologize for any confusion or misinformation.

What a bunch of tossers!  They originally pointed to Malcolm Kendrick and Chris Kresser who refuted the cholesterol hypothesis but they now think that all that was "bad".    Ha.

Here is another refutation.
