Re: chromium polynicotinate


 But what about the so called strong positive correlations between high cholesterol levels and cardio incidents?I guess the more cholesterol the more to get inflamed???Your thoughts.


There is NO strong correlation.  The whole high cholesterol causing heart disease was all based on an old (1940s if I recall right) faulty rabbit study.  

As I pointed out earlier about 50% of heart attacks occur in people with normal to low cholesterol levels.  In fact, abnormally low cholesterol is a MAJOR risk factor for heart attack, stroke, dementia, depression and other problems.

It is the inflammation that leads to the cholesterol depositing on the arterial walls, not the plaque leading to the inflammation.  Cholesterol is a healing agent for the body.  When an area of the body is injured cholesterol floods the area to help heal the injury.  This also applies to blood vessels.  When the blood vessels are damaged due to high blood pressure, xanthine oxidase, homocysteine, insulin, etc. cholesterol floods the blood vessels to help patch and heal the injured area.  If the source of inflammation is not removed though the cholesterol continues to flood the area and deposit as an "injury patch" leading to the narrowing of the arteries.  This is why cholesterol lowering statin drugs DO NOT reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.  Although the statins do raise the risk of heart failure by inducing rhabdomyolosis of the heart muscle.
