Not much at all. In fact the Lipid Hypothesis has been disproven over and over again. It remains alive due to the “saving of face”, monetary reasons , political reasons.
Ignore “Lisa L”. This is a person whose sole source of medical information (not “knowledge”) is a group run by a person whose degree is is fitness, not medicine.
Numerous double blinded, placebo controlled studies have shown that lowering cholesterol in high risk patients reduces the risk of heart attack.
Possible public health approaches:
1) education about healthy diets (low fat, whole grain, etc.)
2) education about healthy cooking that tastes good
3) encourage use of healthy alternatives to trans fats, etc
