Re: CS>OT question?

[Garry Hobart]

I strongly agree that there is a LOT of question on whether or not 
cholesterol should be
lowered, or even if it is a problem at all. It occurs to me that France 
should have
had a coronary by now if there was ANY validity at all to the 
cholesterol propaganda.
Unfortunately for the cholesterol theorists the opposite seems to be the 
case. Heart disease
is much lower in France than in the USA. It's not just because of the 
wine either. The
French don't eat trans-fats! They do eat more butter than just about any 
nation on earth,
but they don't eat margarine the way Americans do.  The huge increase in 
heart disease in
the united states directly correlates with the introduction of 
hydrogenated oils into the food
supply. IMO hydrogenated oils are the cause of heart disease.
If it IS the wine preventing heart disease, I'll have a glass with my 
steak, thank you very much!

By the way, why hasn't heart disease dropped significantly since the 
introduction
of statin drugs???

There's a lot of controversy over whether cholesterol needs to be 
lowered.
