If at age 72 your dad treated his high cholesterol with a 10% fat diet and exercise, you'd have a more compelling case to confront this article.

Treating cholesterol by parmacology is not the answer. A 10% fat diet is where the real benefits will kick in; however, it does not always produce miracles in that it would take time to reverse the effects of the clogged arteries. An old Accupuncture saying was that for every year that a problem exists a month of treatment is required, which I found was true in problems I had accrued after 50 years.

The effect of cholesterol on life expectancy may be significant for some people, but I would like to point out this is not the case for everybody. My father had his first clotting at the age of 72. He got a stend, and his cholesterol level was treated. One year later he had 3 more clottings despite his low cholesterol level. This obviously had some other cause. Which one that is I don't know and is not relevant for my point. I just want to say that low cholesterol does in not protect one from heart problems in general. It just does if cholesterol was the cause of the clotting. In the text there is a big emphasis on fat, and its result, a high cholesterol level.
