Frankly I think in the medical profession, that has been known for sometime. Cholesterol "contributes" to heart disease, it doesn't "cause" heart disease. Dr. Louis Ignarro has won a Nobel prize in medicine for his research into this very subject, and has a formula for very inexpensively treating the root cause of heart disease, with a set of six supplements. He has proven the effectiveness in literally thousands of clinical trials all over the world. But because his formula would significantly cut into the profits of the pharmeceutical companies here, they have spent millions suppressing his work and more millions touting the effectiveness of statins, which do, in my opinion, more harm than good. The information is out there for anyone who wants to be educated about their health.

No it will never be eliminated as one of the causes but any type of fat is a risk for heart disease, esp. trans fats. Having said that, there always seems to be exceptions. Some people can eat all the fat types of food and it never clogs their arteries so I would have to assume there are some genetic factors involved also. Personally I don't like fat on meat and that is one of the worst kind so I try to eat less fat of all types in my diet.

If they become jagged, then the fat in the blood stream clogs it. So to me, do whatever you can do to keep your arteries healthy. Fish, flax seed, stuff like that. Cutting out excess cholesterol is good to do to but you must do both
