According to Ravnskov in The Cholesterol Myths research has also indicated that low cholesterol is more often observed in criminals; people with diagnoses of violent and agressive behavior disorders; homicidal offenders with histories of violence and suicide attempts related alcohol and with folks with other psychological problems such as poor internalization of social norms and poor self-control -- these associations are with non-drug induced low cholesterol.
