Hello,Voyager
You did not address all studies listed on this forum.
How about Framingham and MRFIT?
I agree with most of what you say except for your
statement about the average cholesterol level in Japan.
It's 180 in Japan-225 in USA.
Your statement about the medical types pointing to high
cholesterol as the single source of heart problems is,for
the most part,absurd.All a person can say, after looking at
Framingham/MRFIT curves and data ,is that there appears to
be a link between high cholesterol and heart failure for people
under 50 years of age.No person,except an idiot,would point
at these studies and conclude that the single cause of heart failure is high cholesterol.It just shows that high cholesterol is probably a major contributing factor.The best summary of all
medical studies is found in the overly large expensive Chemical Abstract.
