"The Cholesterol Myths : Exposing the Fallacy that Saturated Fat and Cholesterol
Cause Heart Disease" by Uffe Ravnskov was first published January 1997.  

Quotes:
1) The only effective way to lower cholesterol (blood levels, just the numbers) is with
drugs.

2) The “prudent” diet cannot lower cholesterol more than on average a few per cent.
Your body produces three to four times more cholesterol than you eat.

3) Cholesterol-lowering drugs, the statins, do prevent cardio-vascular disease, but this
is
due to other mechanisms than cholesterol-lowering.

4) Cholesterol is not a deadly poison

5) A high cholesterol is not dangerous by itself, but may reflect an unhealthy condition

6) There are dangers associated with an consumption of polyunsaturated oils.

For one person's answer to "you can only lower cholesterol with
drugs", see http://sankey.ws/cholesterol.html
I did it - I suspect a lot of others can too.

Even the accused have a right to representation.
