Seriously, this study makes a LOT of sense to me. My family, from elderly to the kiddies, all have high cholesterol. We all love fruits and veggies, and food in general. Everyone lives into their 90s. There have been 0 heart attacks and no strokes other than a few mini-strokes in the upper 90 years in one of two of them.

I have never understood the whole cholesterol-lowering thing.

I have never understood the whole cholesterol-lowering thing.

I am willing to bet that their HDLs are very high e.g. my wifes total is 285 but her HDLs are 92

Mother lived to be 96 and her heart was still going strong
