[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 170394, member: 18023"] If you analyze the article in MERCOLA, I found at least 1 obvious misstatement. I only looked at the 1 statement, there maybe many more flaws. [B]Correct me if I am wrong about this.[/B] From the article. " A Norwegian study5 published in 2012, which assessed the cholesterol levels and rate of ischemic heart disease death among 50,000 people over a period of 10 years, found that as women’s cholesterol levels went up, their risk of death went down. “Women who had LDL levels of 300 to 400 were 40 percent less likely to die from ischemic heart disease as women who had an LDL level or cholesterol level of 200 or less,” Kendrick says. As noted by the study authors:" [B]The Norwegian study they quoted NEVER looked at LDL,[/B] it only looked at total cholesterol. The author seems to be conflating total cholesterol with LDL cholesterol. Norwegian study they referenced in the article.

Ten years prospective data from the Norwegian HUNT 2 study[/URL] It probably pretty rare that anyone ever looks at their references. [/QUOTE]
