In other news....cholesterol, come on down...

It's an interesting statement.

'Cholesterol from the diet represents only about 20% of the cholesterol circulating in the human bloodstream, so lowering cholesterol intake affects blood cholesterol levels only marginally. While other lifestyle changes — getting regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight — can help reduce worrisome cholesterol, medication has become a mainstay of treatment.'

So, the message is, eat eggs, increase cholesterol by 20%, then pop pills to reduce it back down?

Did the statin companies buy the egg companies, then write the advice?
