5. Interesting, but lots of folks have heart disease or attacks,
with normal cholesterol so just to make a point very clear, a cholesterol number is not the total picture. Most disease has to do with immflamation, and much has been written about the importance of C-reactive markers. Also, a lot of folks are deficient in the B vits which clearly have an impact on Homosystine(sp?) levels. And don't forget Vit D should also be taken. Just a little info, because clearly getting cholesterol levels to a certain number is not optimal. In fact, cholesterol that is too low is just as dangerous as too high. You need enough cholesterol to repair arteries when they are damaged from the immflamation caused by let's say, too much sugar, hydrogenated veg oil, etc.!
