The link to the study in the WSJ post doesn't even work. Study: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/2728487 https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/27284... I personally don't think this may be a great study, as usually this type of studies aren't so rigorous. In the end it seems to say the same thing every cholesterol study has said in the past -- that cholesterol is "associated" with higher levels of chronic disease. But it's never identified as the cause of those chronic diseases. > How the study was conducted Diet data were collected using food frequency questionnaires or by taking a diet history. Each participant was asked a long list of what they’d eaten for the previous year or month. The data were collected during a single visit. The study had up to 31 years of follow up (median: 17.5 years), during which 5,400 cardiovascular events and 6,132 all-cause deaths were diagnosed. A major limitation of the study is participants’ long-term eating patterns weren’t assessed. “We have one snapshot of what their eating pattern looked like,” Allen said. “But we think they represent an estimate of a person’s dietary intake. Still, people may have changed their diet, and we can’t account for that.”
