Just found this interesting article, actually best on THE topic so far:

http://www.lifescore.com/article_040502.htm

BTW, just a little hint for Andrew, which recently stated that "people
with low LDL have pristine clear arteries":

"Overall, 45% of patients with calcified plaque as measured by electron
beam computed tomography (EBCT) have an LDL < 130 mg/dL."

Of course, 130 is still too high, is not it Andrew? ;)
