You ain't what you eat

It seems some new research one twins has made a solid link to what I have suspected for a while: gene's matter. The article shows that it is your gene's that primarily decide on your blood cholesterol not the amount of exercise or the amount of consumed cholesterol. This would be great news to the pharmaceutical industry, since then the only really way to get your cholesterol down is statin drugs, except that for statin drugs it seems the treatment can be worse than the problem! And for those of us who see the flaws in the links from blood cholesterol levels to coronary Heart disease we'll sit this round of bad science on the sidelines.

At least this study will hopefully stop the pseudosciencentific copout of: it's because the French drink wine! Bad science and trickery.

This study has just confirmed what was already known for a long time. Exercise may not lower your LDL levels but it will raise the HDL ("good cholesterol") levels.

Umm... did you actually read the article? The study showed that a lower fat diet will lower your cholesterol.
