Short excerpt from a YouTube video where the speaker summarizes a surprising claim—reported in media and peer-reviewed literature—that eating Oreo cookies lowered LDL cholesterol more than a statin. The speaker reports Oreos produced a 71% LDL reduction in about two weeks versus a 32.5% reduction for the statin, and that Oreos acted in roughly one-third the time.

The headline was. And to be clear, when I say headline, I mean like media but also peer reviewed literature that like Harvard scientists, lowers his cholesterol with Oreo cookies. The punchline was the Oreo cookies slaughtered the statin for LDL lowering. No way. Really? They were twice as powerful and they acted in one third the time. So the drop in LDL was a 71% reduction on the Oreo cookies in about two weeks and then 32.5% for the stat. The Oreos were just way more powerful.
