This is the most commonly espoused theory among doctors today, which is part of the reason statin drugs have done so well. Indeed. With all the studies and evidence that we've been pounded with over the last decade, how can you say there is no link? As I have argued on this thread many times, studies don't always show what they are claimed to show for a variety of reasons. One is cherry picking. Another is the failure to isolate variables. Another is confusing correlation with causation. Another is who's paying for the study. Another is the type of study is misunderstood, epidemiological studies taken as the equivalent of double-blind prospective studies. Failing to understand what "risk factor" means. Peer pressure. Etc., etc. Maybe the most prominent one is cognitive dissonance. I have tons of clips and links on this subject, unfortunately too many to locate any particular argument on demand. I assure you that there is plenty of debunking going on out there.
