=======================================================================

Can we do this? By lowering cholesterol can we make one can live for 120 years?

But the fact remains that people with very high serum cholesterol level live for 80 years with out any problems!!
where as most of our people in our set up with low cholesterol get heart attacks.
But genetics, stress, pollution, poor food habits and lack of physical excercise are to some extent responsible for many non-communicable diseases and so also for heart attacks.
