What was said
"“The latest, you know, sort of recommendations that have come out of the American Heart Association is we should be testing 10-year-olds for their cholesterol level and starting them on medication if they have what is considered now to be high cholesterol. And it’s insanity.”"
Heart surgeon Philip Ovadia claims the American Heart Association recommends cholesterol testing for 10-year-olds. He also says the guidance would involve medication for children deemed to have high cholesterol, which he argues is misguided.
