Nail that Coffin Shut

High-cholesterol diet, eating eggs do not increase risk of heart attack, not even in persons genetically predisposed, study finds
A new study shows that a relatively high intake of dietary cholesterol, or eating one egg every day, are not associated with an elevated risk of incident coronary heart disease. Furthermore, no association was found among those with the APOE4 phenotype, which affects cholesterol metabolism and is common among the Finnish population. In the majority of population, dietary cholesterol affects serum cholesterol levels only a little, and few studies have linked the intake of dietary cholesterol to an elevated risk of cardiovascular diseases. Globally, many nutrition recommendations no longer set limitations to the intake of dietary cholesterol.
Yeah but- cholesterol tests and all the follow up protocols are so profitable...
It's amazing how much more medical care you need after getting ineffectual health care advice.
