First, let me be clear that I was speculating. I don't have knowledge of this. Second, I would value John's opinion on medical matters more than a layman's.

Also, to clarify, what I was speculating is not that high cholesterol isn't a risk, but that reducing it by drugs doesn't lower the associated risk.
