Here is an interesting fact - unlike men, women under 50 rarely get heart disease. Even more counter to your thinking - high total cholesterol levels in women over 50 were associated with LONGER life. Both of these facts were discovered in the famous Framingham study in the early 70s. If you are a woman under 50 isnt that something you should know? Inexplicably, this data was omitted from the studys conclusions. As a result, government health officials pushed their advice about fat and cholesterol on all Americans over age 2—based exclusively on data from middle-aged men. When it comes to good advice on nutrition, the experts are completely full of it.
