What Cholesterol Doesn't Cause

“A recent study, published in the American Journal of Cardiology, 2003, found that patients who successfully lowered their cholesterol levels did not reduce plaque buildup in their arteries. One group took a strong dose of a cholesterol-lowering drug while the other took a lower dose of the same drug. Researchers then measured the amount of blockage in their arteries. After more than one year, both groups showed a 9.2% increase in plaque buildup, suggesting that plaque buildup is not related to cholesterol level.”
