He agrees that inflammation is the cause of problems but doesn't blame
cholesterol. In response to inflammation the body sends calcium and cholesterol
for repair. He did a paper where he proposes that inflammation is caused by
attacks of microorganisms which are caused by either foods or toxic chemicals
that weken our immune system.
In 2003 he published a review of the many studies that have shown low density
lipoprotein (LDL) to be protective against infections, and put forward the
hypothesis that high cholesterol, rather than promoting atherosclerosis, in
fact may protect against it.

If he says that I'm not sure where but he certainly doesn't believe that
cholesterol is a causative factor. Nor can anyone else believe it is
after taking a look at the real data (vs the abstract in a drug funded
paper). Finding the holes in the main papers that purport to indict
cholesterol in heart disease is one of Malcolm Kendrick's specialties.
Read the data, not the hyperbole.
