I also believe the science, and there have been multiple studies now in people, some of the science comes out of ketone IQ, but also independent studies have shown that it's extremely healthy for the heart.

You also need it for repair of arteries.
But there's no evidence that that's a problem.
In fact, it's a little-known fact that the brain doesn't use the cholesterol from the bloodstream.
