Ancel Keys (in his Seven Countries book) found that overall mortality is lowest when one's cholesterol (that is, middle aged men) is in the 200 to 220 range, which is something that has been ignored by those pushing the "lipid hypothesis." Instead, almost all doctors in the USA would tell you that you had "high cholesterol" (as if it's a "disease") if you had cholesterol around 215 to 220. |
