<<Our cholesterol levels have been declining, and we have been smoking less, and yet the incidence of heart disease has not declined as would be expected. ''That is very disconcerting,'' Willett says. ''It suggests that something else bad is happening.'' >>

No, Willett. Wrong. What it suggests is that cholesterol is much less of a factor in heart disease than is so widely believed.

<<What's forgotten in the current controversy is that the low-fat dogma itself is only about 25 years old. >>

So it's far too soon to make any judgements based on it. The oldest people who adopted such low fat "dogma" for long enough to make a difference are likely only in their early fifties. So there's no stat data to go on.
