You shouldn't have left me such a wide opening. I invite you to read
starting here
<http://thincs.org/>
With a prestigious list of members here
<http://thincs.org/members.htm>
and especially this guy
<http://www.ravnskov.nu/uffe.htm>
and a bit of human biochemistry and statistics here
<http://thincs.org/Malcolm.choltheory.htm>
Or, for a little light reading try these two papers:
Krumholz HM, Seeman TE, Merrill SS, et al. Lack of association between
cholesterol and coronary heart disease mortality and morbidity and
all-cause mortality in persons older than 70 years. JAMA 1994;272:1335-1340.
Schatz IJ, Masaki K, Yano K, Chen R, Rodriguez BL, Curb JD. Cholesterol
and all-cause-mortality in elderly people from the Honolulu Heart
Program: a cohort study. Lancet 2001; 358: 351-55
In a nutshell, folks older than 70 (and actually, much less than that)
live longer the higher their cholesterol. Why is that when heart
disease is a disease of the elderly?
