>> No, Willett. Wrong. What it suggests is that cholesterol is much less of a factor in heart disease than is so widely believed. << i think that is the point he is trying to make. americans have been brainwashed to believe that high cholesterol is the best predictor of heart disease, and then further brainwashed to believe that cholesterol in the diet somehow equates to cholesterol in the blood. of course america has also been brainwashed to believe that the more fat you eat the fatter you get. >> So it's far too soon to make any judgements based on it. << that is absurd. cholesterol levels have declined, fat consumption as a percentage of diet has declined, carbohydrate and especially refined carbohydrate consumption has skyrocketed. at the exact same time obesity and diabetes has skyrocketed. when americans used to eat less grains and sugar and more fats, we were less obese and had less incidence of cardiovascular disease and diabetes (not to mention cancer). if you can't connect the dots then well...i feel sorry for you.
