Trouble with just looking a heart disease death rates is that we forget what happens to all cause mortality.
This chart comes from
Primitivo and can be found on Paul Jaminet's perfect health diet site.
So as we can see mortality goes up as cholesterol goes down.
Lower cholesterol below 200 you increase your risk of death. mortality goes up as cholesterol goes down.
Ideally you want to be around 210~220 to enjoy least risk.
But rather than just reducing total cholesterol irrespective of the cause of higher than ideal numbers, wouldn't it be better to address the causes of those high numbers?
We can all check our under arm basal temperature when we wake up and if it's below 36.6�C (97.8�F) consider taking dessicated Thyroid. Hypothyroidism is a common cause of high cholesterol.
For many the problem is high triglycerides and low HDL numbers. Changing the diet to increase saturated fat while DECREASING refined carbohydrates, sugars, and eliminating inflammatory omega 6 vegetable oils should raise HDL and lower trigs.
Correcting magnesium, Vitamin D, omega 3, potassium and melatonin insufficiency also improves heart disease risk factors.
