There is a faulty assumption that higher cholesterol leads to higher risk of heart disease, but the fact the opposite is true.

A few of the other facts/assumptions you make are outdated. Statins do very little to improve mortality. Inflammation can be reduced by cutting out carbs and sugar. Eating more saturated fats and omega 3 also reduces your risk of heart disease.

In fact the whole dietary advice given over the last 60 years is responsible for the epidemic we now have with obesity, diabetes and heart attacks. But they can't come out and say they are wrong, but they are slowly changing it a bit at a time.
