Quick response. Thank you.
There's already resistance to the study findings.

The study considered the presence of irritation, and not the cholesterol level itself. People with acceptable cholesterol levels do have heart attacks and strokes.

So this study supports the contention that irritation is far more significant than cholesterol as a predictor/cause. So cholesterol may lose its place as a public enemy.


Also, lifestyle changes were not a significant part of the treatment with statins. The Doctor-controlled life was implicitly found ineffective.


So what this study does is identify a cause for deadly diseases and cure it. Doctors in their disappointment that the result was not the one favored have been rushing to deny what is being reported to them.

This is an issue to watch closely. The Doctor who sentences you to a diet of overcooked brussels sprouts and sends you to be contorted by bone-breaking machines may also be denying you the treatment which could prevent a damaging, perhaps fatal disease.
