Wow.

I can't believe it. Finally, in mainstream news, is what I've been reading in the alternative health sites for at least three years now. I'm just so pleased

Cool, fairly nice article.

I thought it was worth posting- not hysterical, not snide, just matter-of-fact and to the point. Unusual in medical reporting these days.

Although I do recall a cover story in The Atlantic titled "The Cholesterol Myth" back in the nineties.

I don't think this is a science thing, it's more of a popular press thing. It's easier to write "cholesterol bad" than to go into the details that make the difference.

I think there is also some deliberately misleading information being fed to the press, as well. But yes, simple messages of "BAD! Be SCARED!" sell.
