    As everyone knows, atheroscleropic plaque contains cholesterol, so this must mean that cholesterol causes atherosclerosis, and therefor heart disease.

    So, why did a recent study in Germany express that those people who lived near a busy road have much higher rates of atherosclerosis?

    Are they breathing in cholesterol in the exhaust fumes, or perhaps, is there actually something else that causes atherosclerosis??

    I'm not certainly I follow your convoluted logic. Just because plaque contains cholesterol, doesn't Night shift can be totally fine for the body and mind. It is not prizeful for you if you couldnot adjust to it, and still have the urge to sleep at night. draw one to the conclusion that cholesterol causes heart disease. In fact, it's far more likely that homocysteine is the catalyst. Many people with "high" cholesterol survive long and prosperous lives. Doctors are the ones who believe cholesterol is the killer, not me.



    Guess I'm not "everyone" in your example.
