Benefits of Lowering Cholesterol, Despite the Controversy:::
by Kris Kelkar

The Controversy
There is a controversy on the benefits of lowering cholesterol levels and what normal cholesterol levels should be. For some time the medical community has preached that lowering cholesterol directly reduces the risk of heart attacks. While studies have shown that there is a link between cholesterol and heart attacks, other studies have shown that there is not. The studies showing this link have been widely publicized by some pharmaceutical companies that are making staggering sums of money on chemical cholesterol treatments. With guidance and help from the pharmaceutical industry, the federal government has repeatedly adjusted its guidelines for normal cholesterol levels. Each time the normal cholesterol level is adjusted, a larger percentage of the population falls under the definition of patients with high cholesterol that need medication. The problem lies in the fact that these studies deal with human beings that are exposed to many risk factors. Some of these risk factors can be accommodated through mathematical adjustments. However, the more mathematical adjustment that is done to compensate for risk factors, the less reliable the resulting data becomes.
