It is good to see comment on Choleterol and we invite vigerous discussion.
Relying on any single source for information is dangerous and everything should be questioned but the science behind fish oils, marine lipids, is very very powerful.
As part of this discussion check The Health Success Site page on the Herbalife fish oil product, Lifeline. It has links to a huge range of independent trials that talk about the benefits of fish oils in a whole range of heath areas.
Discussion is good but the science is 'in' and the benefits are clear. Check http://www.thehealthsuccesssite.com/Herbalifeline.html
Choleterol is one defined molecule by: Anonymous
The evidence underlying the “lipid hypothesis” was never strong to start since then a massive lipid lowering campaign has had no effect on heart disease rates. More and more openly people are rightly questioning the wisdom of the cholesterol lowering campaign.
Cholesterol is an essential component of every cell membrane and important for myriad physiologic functions. When Dr. Uffe Ravnskov, MD PhD looked at the medical literature he found something quite surprising had been documented there. On average people with higher cholesterol live longer. Then again the statin cholesterol lowering drug class alone is a 30 billion dollar a year industry.
Also there is no good and bad cholesterol there is only cholesterol. High density lipoprotein and low denisty lipoprotein as their names declare are different carrier molecules for the single molecule cholesterol
