Hi Todd and everyone,

I found a chapter called Crazy About Cholesterol: Medicine's Red Herring in
the book What Doctors DON'T Tell You by Lynne McTaggart ISBN 0-380-79607-4

"In the 1960s doctors first hypothesized that lowering blood cholesterol
levels would prevent heart attacks and strokes. This led to the belief that
if we lowered cholesterol-either by drugs or by limiting fat intake-we
could prevent heart attacks; this in turn has led to an entire food and
medical industry devoted to screening for high blood cholesterol and
lowering it...
Nevertheless, we have never been able to PROVE a cause-and-effect
relationship between cholesterol and heart disease...
In fact, cholesterol-lowering may be one of the biggest red herrings of the
century.
Recently, new scientific evidence proves that cholesterol may not even be
the main cause of heart disease. ....most heart patients have normal
cholesterol levels."
McTaggart goes on to quote from T. Bod Eaton, Ronald Schmid (Native
Nutrition) , Price, Pottenger and Anne Marie Colbin (Food and Healing).

Cholesterol testing is are often inaccurate as well as being meaningless.
