I believe grains scar the arteries, and then colesterol builds up to 'heal' the scaring, and causes blockages.
There's also a theory that high cholesterol is the body's reaction to vitamin D deficiency. Because the body creates vitamin D using cholesterol and sunlight, if someone isn't getting enough sunlight the body will try to compensate by increase cholesterol in an attempt to make the most of the sunlight it gets.
