1) Michael DeBakey, the famous surgeon, has significant doubts about the general conclusion that cholesterol causes heart problems (22). He has stated, that 30 years of observation of more than 15,000 patients had led him to conclude that cholesterol was not the central cause of atherosclerosis, the artery-clogging condition that kills hundreds of thousands of Americans each year.

2) Duane Graveline a medical doctor and former astronaut has written extensively about the dangers of statin drugs and the reduction of cholesterol. See << http://www.spacedoc.net/>>

3) U. Ravnskov, a medical doctor and researcher has written extensively about the dangers of reducing cholesterol. He thinks it is a valuable material that has nothing to do with heart problems. See << http://www.ravnskov.nu/cholesterol.htm >>

4) “ Cholesterol is essential for brain development and neuronal functions. However, at present little is known about cholesterol homeostasis in the central nervous system with is separated by the rest of the body by the blood-brain barrier.“ See<<http://www.helsinki.fi/biocentrum/ikonen.html >>

This suggests it can be dangerous to take statins, which may interfere with cholesterol in the brain.
