The question that ought to be asked about the cholesterol, is whether the cholesterol is following onto damage or whether it is causing damage. You don’t want to necessarily blame the trucks with the asphalt to patch road potholes for causing the road potholes, even though pothole-free roads won’t have any of these trucks on them.

That is a good analogy. The one I use for Statins is a fire department that only puts out the smoke.

If a person’s body makes too little cholesterol they will die. It won’t really matter how much cholesterol they eat. High cholesterol is a body’s overreaction not because of eating the stuff.
