How do you relate this to the study at hand? Oxysterol isn't mentioned once.

I don't even disagree or something, but your advice seems rather automatic than based.

The study used atherogenic diets as offense. So all the consensus on heart health seems to apply: LDL bad; salt bad; cholesterol bad; saturated fats bad - inflammation bad.

In mice.

Oxysterols seem to stimulate amyloid beta formation in the liver and even in the brain directly:

So, it's unrelated to the study at hand.
