My father in law had cholesterol levels in the low 300s. He walked 3-5 miles a day and maintained the diet of a saint. Slim and trim. Dead before he hit the ground at 60 fixing a fence on his farm. Dad and grandfather died of the same thing.

My great uncle lived to age 89 chainsmoking Prince Albert tobacco in zig zag paper.

Merely a counterpoint. Nothing more
