I've actually read that here in the US, 75% of people who have heart attacks have normal cholesterol, so it's likeWell, both extemes are deadly for different reasons. It's interesting though that about 50% of those who get a heart attack have optimal cholesterol levels. Rather than this being taken as a hint for something else being behind heart disease than cholesterol, it's been concluded that even stricter optimal value ranges are needed. Seems strange.
Not to make light of high cholesterol - it can be deadly (although Dr. Peat's healthy ranges are higher than what doctors say). But most of the time it's a *thyroid* problem - they need T3 - and instead they're put on a statin. I would rather eat an entire bus tire than ever take a statin.
