Re: Very Low Cholesterol Is Safe

[Guest guest]

Hi folks:

I believe the PROCAM study done in Germany (Hamburg?) found that

there was no danger from very low LDL in non-smokers. But I believe

it did find an increased incidence of cancer in smokers with the

lowest levels of LDL.

I posted these data here perhaps eighteen months ago.

Hi folks:

On second thoughts I think the PROCAM study was done in Munster.
