Walter Willett, chairman of the department of nutrition at the Harvard
School of Public Health:
Our cholesterol levels have been declining, and we have been smoking
less, and yet the incidence of heart disease has not declined as would
be expected. ''That is very disconcerting,'' Willett says. ''It
suggests that something else bad is happening.''

Same article:

Atkins also noted that **** starches and sugar **** were harmful in any
event because they raised triglyceride levels and

that this was a greater risk factor for heart disease than cholesterol.
