I received an unsolicited publicaton in yesterday's mail from Alternatives for the Health Conscious Individual. Among other claims, Dr. David Williams, the author, states that cholesteral lowering drugs have failed to make a dent in heart attack rates. He says:

"More than 60% of all heart attacks occur in people with normal cholesterol levels"; and the majority of people with high cholesterol never suffer heart attacks."

He says the cholesterol lowering statin drugs deplete Co10Q, which supplies the energy for the heart's pumping action, which can lead to heart failure.

He also says the real culprit is inflammation in the arteries, not cholesterol.

Anyone care to respond?

regards,

Mark
