" NEW YORK - Lower cholesterol levels in the blood help to prevent
 heart attacks, a 10-year federally sponsored study has shown. The
 study, which is considered conclusive, was conducted among 3,806
 middle-aged men with abnormally high cholesterol levels. It found
 that for every 1 percent reduction in cholesterol, there was a 2
 percent decline in the rate of coronary heart disease.

Last I heard, no link between ingested cholestrol and serum cholestrol
level has ever been demonstrated, though many have tried.  Does anyone
know whether there has been any hot news regarding that?
