Abstract

Fears that low or lowered plasma cholesterol levels cause an increased risk of accidental death, suicide, depression, and homicide arose in the 80s, supported in part by certain epidemiological findings and clinical trial results. These concerns have not been borne out by careful scrutiny of the original findings 4, nor by more recent trials and epidemiology, nor by studies directed to possible mechanisms to explain such a causal relationship. © 1997, Medikal Press.
