> What we are explaining is that cholesterol alone does not cause heart disease. It is cholesterol plus inflammation that causes heart disease.

interesting idea which I have heard before. However so far as I can tell we don't know if it is true. It seems to fit the evidence that the two are independantly causes of heart attack, when combined it is worse.

maybe someday science will figure this out but it is not easy and so will take a while. Until we do I avoid saying things with high confidence.
