Please explain that?
The Lyon Diet Heart Study also found MAJOR CAD mortality reduction too in the treatment group , with NO DIFFERENCE in LDL cholesterol levels between the treatment and controls
There are no LDL studies in the GISSI study and they did not report finding major CAD reductions with increased LDL’s.
You can check it out here: www.gissi.org
The Lyon Study information provided above is wrong for 2-reasons:
1. It specifically stated that the overall DIET were factors, not just cholesterol
2. "The findings from this study imply risk factors beyond lipids and lipoproteins (cholesterol) that have been our primary focus in secondary prevention. The fact that omega-3 fatty acids exert cardioprotective effects in several ways suggests that they could have accounted for the results that were observed.", from http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=4655
What they DO say is that the DIET including OTHER FACTORS COULD HAVE accounted for cardioprotection.
Obviously, the comments above were not well researched.
