I think you are corect about a connection of cholesteral (LDL or total) to CHD. (VALEWIS, the thincs.org website is a bit hard to take.)

However, I think the point that the connection may not be causal is a good one. It may where be that high cholestorol is present when there is high inflammation. I don't think we know enough about inflammation, but early signs are that it may play a far more important role in predicting (and possibly causing) CHD.

We must all make decisions about what we
believe about the stuff we read.
