You realize there are no peer reviewed studies that even correlate cholesterol levels with CHD let alone show causation. I agree that eating right is the best thing you can do for your heart and arteries, but lowering cholesterol is not. You will actually find studies showing an inverse correlation with all death causes and cholesterol. Cholesterol is a component in every cell in your body. Without it you'd be dead. Remember the right thing to do 15 years ago was to not eat fat. Fat bad. Now some fat good. 15 years from now you will be told all fat is good (natural fats, not processed, hydrogenated fats). And don't even get me started on statins and the big green money machine sponsored by big Pharma and put into play by your local Pharma shill doctor.
