Thanks, Stanley. That's a good article, even if the conclusion has long been known by many of us.
The only thing Ancel Keys ever really accomplished was to make Ancel Keys into someone widely considered a prestigious authority.

No. Just a lay person trying to figure what is best for him.

Recently started them as I had a bad year and my numbers were terrible. I am back on my healthy diet and will get the numbers in line again. @ 50 i have come to the conclusion that a low dose seems like a reasonable insurance plan, even if you eat healthy with good numbers. Most people take a baby aspirin each day - I bet their are studies showing negative affects of those.
I was going to go off them in three months but I think that I will stay on them - why take the risk, esp. when its a low dose and I have no side affects.

Maybe what you described is the most positive outcome in their particular situations, compared to the alternative? This thought occurred to me as I was reading the body count for the Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas. Customer dies of heart attack at the Heart Attack Grill in Vegas
