Mike, I agree, another great article by Chris! I'm still greatly

puzzled why they call it the cholesterol-heart hypothesis when they

are really talking about lipoproteins. It should be the

lipoprotein-heart hypothesis

Or better yet, as points out, an oxidized-glycated-LDL-heart

hypothesis would really be more pertinent.

I certainly agree that excess sugar is a toxin

But as points out in his article, there are many other factors

likely involved in heart disease as well.
