Cholesterol may or may not have a causal relationship to CV disease. It is,

however, clearly correlated with CV disease and the increased risk of

infarcts. There may be periods when science is off-track, but it is always

self-

correcting over time. Homocysteine and C-reactive protein (and other

indicators of inflammation) are now becoming recognized as important

indicators of CV disease, too.

One needs very little cholesterol to produce steroids and other substances.

Steroid hormones have a very high biological activity, and low concentrations

maintain adequate growth and development. For men, typical testosterone

levels range from 200 to 1000 nanograms (billionths of a gram) per deciliter,

For cycling women, typical estrogen levels are from 50 to 250 picograms (10

to the -12 grams) per milliliter.

If cholesterol is unimportant in cardiovascular health, why do so many people

with hypercholesterolemia die so young of massive coronaries?
