A few months ago I e-mailed the Eades about lower TC associated with higher
mortality from all causes.  Below is their answer to me:

Dear Mr. Hradkowsky,

Thanks for writing; we're happy to hear that you have enjoyed success  
with our program.  Here is a link to the 1992 report of the Conference  
on Low Blood Cholesterol and Mortality which supports the U-shaped or  
J-shaped correlation between cholesterol and mortality in men and the  
nearly straight line reverse correlation between cholesterol and  
mortality in women. Simply highlight it and paste it into your browser  
and it should take you directly to the PDF of the article that you can  
download and print.

Also, quoting from Dr. Malcolm Kendrick's book The Great Cholesterol  
Con it this:

"Because a key finding from the Framingham Study was the following:
    "There is a direct association between falling cholesterol levels  
over the first 14 years (of the study) and mortality over the  
following 18 years (11% overall and 14$ cVD death rate increase per 1  
mg/dl per year drop in cholesterol levels)."

This might seem so incredible that you may not believe that you read  
it.  But I can assure you that it is there, in black and white, in the  
Journal of the American Medical Association, 24 April 1987, pages 2176  
to 2180: 'Cholesterol and mortality. 30 years of follow-up from the  
Framingham Study'. "

Perhaps these two citations will give your cause some support.

Cordially,

The Drs. Eades
