could anybody please point me how to get the original data from monica, framingham, etc?
I keep seeing amazing claims like this, which, if true, would put the lipid hypothesis immediately to rest. Yet, I cannot see the original data if I look for them in the WHO – monica web page.
cheers,

LDL chiolesterol has a vital job to do for our immune systems and myelin production in neurons. Hope you haven’t caused any problems by lowering LDL. Send your doctor back to study Biochem 101.
See above comment on cholesterol evolution.
This week the american journal of clinical nutrition has published a paper declaring saturated fats to be innocent of causing heart disease – and pointing the finger at the substances that replaced it in our food. It is all clear if you read the basic biology of what cholesterol and fat does in our bodies. Pass the butter please.
Full fat milk is a whole food for rearing mammals. Eggs contain everything you need to make a healthy *****! Beware of processed food and pharmacy industries.
Good question – the answer is in the power struggle between Ancel keys and the AHA in the 50s/60s. We now have a 30 billion dollar industry betting that cholesterol suddenly after millions of years of evolution became a disease producing substance. It was by asking questions about how that switch could happen I found out the wonderful trth about cholesterol and the commercial/politcal/health errors that panicked the US government to condemn cholesterol and fat.
If cholesterol is good for you, why is there such a prevalent and widely circulated belief that cholesterol is bad and causes heart deisease? I don’t understand. Is there a conspiracy with some gain to an entity? Otherwise, why would the general belief against Cholesterol exist?
I base these conclusions on many many studies:See the Framingham or Nurses studies, which attempted to show fat/cholesterol as potentially dangerous and instead showed strong correlations between increased sat fat/cholesterol consumption and the reduced risk of disease/all-cause mortality. All I can do is consider the evidence, and draw my own conclusions. To date, all the evidence indicates to me that animal fats are good for us, and refined grains and sugars are not.

Question what you are told.
Do your own research checks on PubMed
The world is run by Pharmaceutical interests who do not want their customers to fix their lifestyles.
Be a skeptic! Be your own person!
Cholesterol is innocent.
Do be confuse statistical association with causality.
Otherwise you may conclude that arriving in hospital (statistically) makes you very sick!
Please note that no one suffers from cholesterol, which is essential to health.
Blaming cholesterol for disease is like blaming blue flashing lights for blocking motorways.
Association does not prove causality.
