        I suspect they’re making an unwarranted assumption that the experimental patient ended up with high cholesterol due to excessive consumption of animal products (rather than, say, a genetic defect that would cause them to overproduce it regardless of diet) and applying some typical vegan arguments regarding livestock farming. No need to listen to them.

          Well, it can come from palm/coconut oil for example, it doesn’t only come from animals, and vegans with familial hypercholesterolemia want you to shut the fuck up.
