A genetic condition called homocystinuria (high homocystiene levels from birth) causes heart attacks in children. Children as young as 2 months have plaque build up in the arteries with this genetic condition. High homocysteine levels, which causes inflammation, is the main factor of heart disease. Forget the cholesterol myth..that is to sell drugs. "Unlike cholesterol which is required for life, the presence of homocysteine is an indication that there's a problem. The lower your homocysteine level, the lower your risk of developing heart disease. Your homocysteine level, NOT your cholesterol level, is the one you want to watch, and you want to watch it carefully, especially if other factors put you at higher risk of heart disease, such as incidence of heart attacks among your relatives, smoking, or previous detection of cardiovascular problems. If your homocysteine level is higher than 12, you need to act quickly to lower it. You're in danger!" http://cholesterolisgood.blogspot.com/
