Lightbulb studies:

And here is an interesting thing from the Wall Street Journal...reporting that the study quoted in this video is from Apr 2006 and never released until now.
hmmmm? Got to get that data massaged really well, eh?

I think the bottom line is this: Lowering cholesterol does not always (or even often) translate into changing plaque.

Plaque is thought to develop from a trauma or bacterial assault or inflammatory reaction (elevated C-reactive protein). The cholesterol is only a patch. So that is why cause/effects are hard to prove. If statins were so great the data would be overwhelming and it is NOT.
