>> Although there is a very, very strong correlation between high ldl and triglyceride levels and an increased risk of heart disease and other cardiac events <<

Last time I checked "cardiac events" & heart disease were the number #1 killer in America. I would hesitate to even call it a "disease", there are no pathogens that cause heart "disease". There is poor diet and laziness to blame.

>> You are more likely to die of a heart attack if your cholesterol level, is 350 than 180, but there are other diseases that you are less likely do die from, and it all evens out. <<

So what you are saying is we shouldn't pay attention to what we eat and our diet has no effect on our longevity? Or we shouldn't care about cholesterol levels? What other diseases are you referring to by the way.

Also, life span isn't necessarily the only goal. Quality of life is important. Sure you might not DIE from heart disease. Just look at our vice president. If you go through enough surgeries, and take enough cholesterol lowering medication, blood-pressure medication, etc and if you spend gazillions of dollars on doctors, I'm sure you can lengthen your life span quite a bit.

Or you can just learn to eat properly and exercise.
