By 1970 the Framingham Study, begun in 1948, had examined about 1000 people by dietary recall; it was reported that there was no correlation between dietary saturated fat or cholesterol intake and measured serum cholesterol (Groves, 1999: 61–62; Mann, 1977). After 30 years of follow-up, the AHA and NHLBI reported in 1990 in The Cholesterol Facts that The results of the Framingham Study indicate that a 1% reduction ... of cholesterol [corresponds to a] 2% reduction in CHD risk. But in their JAMA paper based on the same data, the authors wrote that those [subjects] whose cholesterol had decreased by itself during those 30 years ran a greater risk of dying than those whose cholesterol had increased. For each 1 mg/dL drop of cholesterol there was an 11% increase in coronary and total mortality (Anderson et al., 1987; Ravnskov,2000: 57–58) scientificexploration.org/journal/jse_18_1_kauffman.pdf
