yes you are exactly right.  I guess there has to be a number which is low
and too high for any given individual, but those numbers won't be the same
for each person.
Some generalizations can be made though.  People with lower cholesterol
readings have higher rates of both suicide and homicide, and jail inmates
also have lower readings.
