Default Re: Health tip: managing cholesterol

Another study linking high cholesterol, copper, and cognitive decline:

http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn4045

"We believe that this is a two-step process," Sparks told New Scientist. "Cholesterol causes overproduction of Alzheimer's proteins and then copper inhibits the clearance of beta-amyloid [a plaque-inducing protein] from the brain to the blood."



This is serious, don't ignore it.

I have banned trans fats, gotten my cholesterol numbers perfect, and banned copper.
