About 40 years or so, 50 years.
Okay.
Yeah.
So there, young physician scientist John Goffman found himself drawn to cardiovascular disease, in particular, the relationship between diet, blood cholesterol, and atherosclerosis.
Okay.
And he had come across Anichka's work, but rather than dismissing it like so many other people, he suspected that there might be something to the cholesterol atherosclerosis link.
God, it's so hard to say that over and over again.
But to get at the heart of that link, pun intended, I literally wrote pun intended here.
He, nothing better than a planned joke.
But he was like, well, I have to better understand the dynamics of cholesterol in the blood.
Because by this point in time, researchers had recognized that there were these compounds called lipoproteins that circulated in the blood.
They carried cholesterol and they came in different forms.
So he was like, there might be like this.
We can't just say cholesterol, right?
Right.
We have to be more detailed than that to understand what's going on.
Which cholesterol package are we talking?
Yeah, exactly.
And so people had recognized different lipoproteins, but they didn't know what they did and how their concentrations affected health.
Interesting.
