"Cholesterol is barely relevant to heart disease" Dr Fung Debunked
Mic the Vegan devoted his sole new upload to a specific disagreement: how much LDL cholesterol matters to heart disease. In "\"Cholesterol is barely relevant to heart disease\" Dr Fung Debunked," he challenges Jason Fung's argument, saying the research does not support dismissing LDL's importance or portraying low LDL as dangerous.
The response has drawn about 24,000 views since Friday. It fits the channel's research-explainer identity: Mike describes himself as a vegan science writer with a Master of Public Health degree, bringing health research into arguments that often arrive online as confident dietary declarations.
The new response is also the channel's most active video right now, drawing nearly three times the daily views of "The War on Oatmeal vs The Science on Oatmeal." That older upload answers criticisms from Paul Saladino, Dave Asprey, Dr. Gundry and Ken Berry, turning an ordinary breakfast into another research dispute. It has passed 200,000 views. "Boron: New Vegan Study and Carnivore Diet Warning" rounds out the active collection with a trace-element topic rather than a familiar staple.
Among nearby health channels, Mic sits below Healthcare Triage and above Kevin Jubbal, M.D. in subscriber size. Healthcare Triage's daily viewing is close to its usual level, while EatMoveRest is having a busier-than-usual day. For Mic's viewers, the main new reading assignment is narrower: one cholesterol claim, and his research-based response.
