cholesterol is vital. we need it to live. why lower it? we need better standards in the american diet is what we need.

Correct that cholesterol is vital and we need it to live.

We are discussing lowering cholesterol in the bloodstream, which is a small portion of the total cholesterol in the body. That cholesterol in the bloodstream, just happens to significantly increase risk of heart disease (one of the largest killers of humans). So the reason for lowering it (in the bloodstream) is to allow people to live longer, that's why.

Anyone who has been keeping up with the newest research knows this is more important than LDL numbers.

This is false and misleading.

In every age cohort - increasing LDL = increased risk

Sounds like Duce Chestnut is barely on the team anymore -- not listed as the four corners that we have, not listed on an injury report, and did not travel b/c of a coaches decision.

Maybe his first sack since his first game as a Tiger against MSU.

I don't know if "wasting" would be the concern. The concern would be you miss the prime window after workouts to bludgeon your muscles w/ protein, since a chunk of the protein is not immediately available to the muscles.

I honestly don't know, hence the question to the board.

I typically drink coffee w/ two scoops right after a workout and then a shake w/ another two scoops on the way to work ~1.5 hrs after working out.

Just curious if any of this matters or if I am just overthinking all of it. Figured someone on here is much more knowledgeable re: bioavailability.

Not claiming he should be excused -- I don't think anyone is. The narrative around him has always been what could have been...

I can't think of any player that had a similar first 3 games of a college career only to disappear.

It is REALLY bad. I suggest everyone watch the second play of the Auburn game at the following link (skycam). Play starts at 17:05

The play is perfectly designed to get KB the ball in the flats with a RB in front to block for him.

Back motions out of backfield; easy read that KB has a LB in coverage (my dumbass can see it pre-snap); JD doesn't even look his way & throws into double coverage intended for Taylor.

This isn't difficult - he should have never looked at anyone else after the motion put KB on a LB. This isn't not going through your progressions -- he shouldn't have had progressions once you realize your AA WR is matched up on a LB.

I don't disagree with you, but Family History is a huge issue. It is more determinate than anything else in life. Given that he should do everything in his power to 1) lose weight, 2) eat better, & 3) lower his dam cholesterol.

At this point in his life, he should make drastic changes including strong consideration to a statin. If his other life changes materialize, he can try to get off said statin assuming his cholesterol and other bloodwork remains good.

Statins are massively over prescribed and pushed by doctors at the first sign of high cholestorol; however, given his family history he is a PRIME CANDIDATE. He should do everything to lower his risk of atherosclerosis.

People try to oversimplify things as statin = good or statin = bad. That's bullshite, they are a tool in the toolbox. That tool seems like a great tool for someone who is at real risk of major heart issues before 40.

He could also go pay for a calcium artery scan and get scared by the amount of calcium already in his arteries.

You should seriously consider reading the book, "Good Calories, Bad Calories" by Gary Taubes. It covers diet/LDL issues in great detail and is highly informative. It isn't an easy read, but based on your family history it is something you should spend significant amount of time with/on. In this book, he reviews tons of historical data and really puts the blame on refined carbohydrates and sugar.

Someone mentioned LDL-P that is a great idea re: additional information that should be tested (it is better indicator of risk that LDL-C, which is the common test). In addition, Lp(a) is another significant risk factor. Despite all of the above, your family history says that this is a big issue for you regardless of what the tests say.

At the end of the day, cholesterol is a subject that most general doctors oversimplify and the medical community has greatly fricked up the life changes to improve cholesterol levels (Thanks Keys/Mcgovern). On the other hand given your family history, you should take this seriously and probably get on a statin.

Read a bit about metabolic syndrome, it is a pre-cursor to type 2 diabetes. There is a reason (outside of smoking) obesity greatly increases the risk of cancer and heart attack. The way to reverse/improve metabolic sydrome is to control insulin levels in your body by eliminate/signifcantly reducing carbs and sugars.
