My feeling, based on current evidence, is that there will be recommendations that everyone achieve a cholesterol below 4mmol/l within a few years and to get to this most will need to take high doses of an effective statin, such as atorvastatin. I think we will then see the epidemic of heart disease in the Western world wither away, leaving us all to die of Alzheimers or run out of money, or both.

Forget diet -- unless you go to huge extremes it won't make much difference. Enjoy the bacon and eggs and take the pills, I say.
