Is there a big difference in the number of deaths whether people have high cholesterol or low cholesterol?
High cholesterol is most definitely a risk factor for developing cardiovascular disease. In fact, for every percentage drop in blood cholesterol levels, there is a 2% decrease in risk of cardiovascular disease. A combination of lifestyle factors (exercise, diet, stress management, support, etc.) on their own or in addition to medications can make a significant difference in your risk for disease. Soy protein intake of 25 grams per day has been found to decrease lipid levels in many studies. See the following link for more information on soy and heart health. In addition, review the American Heart Association site at www.americanheart.org. http://web.aces.uiuc.edu/faq/faq.pdl?
