Except that Cholesterol does not cause heart disease and you are at more risk of it if you take them.
Artificially lowering anything is never a good thing.

Could I venture a guess and say eating excessive amounts of carbohydrates and sugar. Or maybe lowering along with the "bad cholesterol" the cholesterols we need for survival.Lowering sugar levels is a good thing though and the jury is out on whether cholesterol actually causes heart disease/stroke. If it doesn't, what does?
Bad cholesterol is a myth, it's all essential for survival and repair. High LDL is indicative of much inflammation and arterial damage, it's not the cause of it.Could I venture a guess and say eating excessive amounts of carbohydrates and sugar.

And yet diabetics who have been on high carb diets for years are living fine lives.Could I venture a guess and say eating excessive amounts of carbohydrates and sugar. Or maybe lowering along with the "bad cholesterol" the cholesterols we need for survival.

Totally agree with activity levels are the answer to longevity. Even for none diabetics!

We need to respect everyone's diets. I'd like to know if anyone has links to evidence from posts here? Some interested points made but like I said I'm sick of people's diets being thrown under the bus.
Sir Steve Redgrave is a good example, diagnosed type II, I wonder if the huge amounts of carb had anything to do with it? He was injection insulin 6 times a day to continue his exercise and training regime. I wonder what he does now? Cut his carbs I expect.
