  1. The 55 mg/dL target in this study is somewhere between the 1st and 5th percentile.

    70 mg/dL (the control) is around the 10th percentile.

    IMO, surprising that reductions at the low end still seem to yield such large benefits. I'd expect it to saturate much earlier.

  2. Outlive is an excellent book, and one of the excellent discussions in that book is that there is no safe level of certain kinds of cholesterol. The details are fun do read up on.

    It's somewhat bombastic, but a really excellent book for overall "next generation" health.
