I think we’ll later find that cholesterol is a farce. “Bad cholesterol” shows up to repair damaged arteries. I think we’re mixing up the cause and effect. Saying that cholesterol causes heart problems is like saying that bleeding causes cuts.

You should read, GOOD CALORIES, BAD CALORIES: FATS, CARBS, AND THE CONTROVERSIAL SCIENCE OF DIET AND HEALTH by Gary Taubes. He documents how the scientist who popularized the cholesterol phobia selectively picked data from only ten nations and left out those which disproved his theory.
