What I should have added is that I do not believe that cholesterol levels
have much if anything to at all to do with heart disease.  I would say that
triglyceride levels and c-reactive protein levels and lipoprotein-a levels are far
more relevant than cholesterol levels.  For more detail on the lack of
scientific evidence for repeatedly lowering the "ideal" cholesterol numbers from 300
down to the current recommendations -- check out info at thincs.org; weston
price.org; <A HREF="http://www.second-opinions.co.uk/">http://www.second-opinions.co.uk/</A>; and Melvin Anchell's book "Steak
Lover's Diet" -- the diet part is very short -  a few pages -- the rest
contains a plethora of info regarding dietary myths about cholesterol, vegetarianism,
etc and the lack of scientific support for current so-called "healthy heart"
dietary regimes.
